Definitely overwhelmed!  I'm exhausted..and I've needed to try so hard just to keep up with the speed…this is crazy.

Every time I think I'm going to breakdown or explode, I just have to remind myself why I'm doing this and what my future prospects are.

The writing is not too bad..it just takes lots of time..and my mind is completely blocked every once in a while..

My project is complicated. The complex terminology associated with the project is making each sentence longer and longer.

My committee has high expectations of me, I do too. Sometimes I think it's waaaaay too much.

Guess I've screwed around for the longest time in Hong Kong. It's time to make it up.

I've been writing so much that when I speak canto or chinese, it's all outta tune. This is too crazy!!

Who completes writing their thesis in 7 days? Even my thesis committee thinks I'm pushing the limits.

But anyway, I will finish. That's the way I've planned it. No matter what it takes.

I know a lot of grad students are worried about me, but don't worry, I will be ok.

My defense will be superb, I know it. My thesis will be outstanding, I know that too.

Also, my first author paper will be accepted one of the following 3 journals:

1) Journal of Biochemistry

2) Journal of Immunology

3) Cell

Keep up the spirit!
