More time! I canna change the laws of physics!

I need more time. More time (a) to finish revising the three full chapters I have yet to revise for the defense, and to stitch them together, and (b) I need more time to grieve the loss of J. and to realize that, high as the stakes are and much as she may love me, I may never be with her again, and to let her breathe.

I also need faith, as Spock once told a Vulcan protegee, that the universe will unfold as it should.

Great galloping Yahweh, I'm a geek.
