You claim you are being sarcastic, however ...

There is a lot of truth in what you are saying, so in case you are trying to downplay any pain you may be feeling, I understand that too!

I can only imagine the stress you are under trying to complete that thesis, so don't forget to cut yourself a little slack during the process ... To have made it this far with all the extra challenges you've faced to get there is extraordinary!

Sincerely,
Pfrog!
