Now, it's clear to me that these are all my mind's metaphors for this last stretch I am facing. Events are moving quicker than I expected. Between my dissertation and the classes I teach, it feels like I am being swept away in a flood. Similarly, I am working hard to push myself to get this last piece of my doctorate done even with multiple distractions and obligations getting in my way like a traffic jam. Finally, Microsoft is simply the worst when it comes to formatting.
With my final defense set for tomorrow, I wonder what dreams may come tonight.
