Leaves Turning Brown

Leaves Turning Brown 23-05-08 Friday 5.02pm

The days are growing shorter.
Winter is approaching and the margins of the plain leaves beyond my window are browning growing ever deeper.
My lovely green leaves are being sapped of their life.
My hand-in-date is looming and all the threads of my thesis are being spun together. I want more time, I need more time... in my head there are deadlines, chapters to be corrected, handed back in and re-corrected again - got to make that diamond shine.
And, all the while, the leaves outside show the end of my scholarship getting ever more closer.
I did my word count today, 94000 not counting footnotes. Somewhere I have to squeeze in my lit review, thesis outline and a conclusion. It's going to be a big one.
I pity the poor librarian stacking the shelves... Oh well, back to it.
