one paragraph to go

Just one paragraph to go, and then I’ll be finished with 5D and thus with the first half of the book. But now, as is so often the case for humans, I’d rather just collapse and go to sleep– sometimes finishing things is disturbing. What to do next? I actually know what I’m going to do next, but it still takes a bit of strength to throw off an unpleasant burden and put things to rest.

I don’t remember if the final paragraphs of the dissertation went like this as well; probably not, because at that point I was pushing my luck with a deadline (one of my committee members was leaving for Europe for a year on a specific date) and couldn’t afford to linger over the closing.
