This will be my last semester too, because I'm now a non-thesis. I just became too overwhelmed with field work, trying to contact landowners, and misc. office work related to my thesis research... I may have made a few mistakes too in how I planned the summer and worry I may have essentially "jinxed" myself... yet part of me thinks I would have been too overwhelmed to have completed a full-blown thesis irregardless.

My advisor told me to stop collecting data and she suggested I change to non-thesis to graduate sooner. I still have to write up a report, but at least it's not a 60 page, 2 chapter, must-be publishable piece. She also told me that she "was not mad at me" which helps... At the moment, I'm just hoping to make it through the semester in one piece.
