Can you ask for an extension, or anything like that (I'm in Europe - don't really know the system in US)?
I'm keeping up alright overall - my advisor is monitoring my progress fairly closely, but the main expectation is that the final result will be ready by the time it's needed.

I can graduate at any time; the challenge is that I've accepted an offer for a postdoc that's set to start in August, so I need to provide proof of degree by July. So that's a hard deadline, which is generally good for motivating me to really get the lead out - inasmuch as I can, at any rate.

It gets even more frustrating when it's so inconsistent. Yesterday and this morning I was in a complete fog and feeling awful; now I'm definitely, definitely hypomanic. Gonna take advantage of that by trying to focus on getting a little writing done...
Thanks for this!
