I'm so close to finishing my thesis that I'm having horrible visions of all files and all backups spontaneously deleting themselves, somehow. And thoughts popping through my brain of actually deleting it myself, like that feeling when you walk over a bridge and imagine throwing your phone off into the river below. I have had confirmation that other people have thought this too.

I also woke up one morning last week and, in my sleepy state, tried to convince myself that my need to take a leak was in fact a cultural cosntruction. Step back. Step back.
