Thanks. I am going to finish, for just that reason. It's been a really long road and I'm not quite at the end of it yet as far as letting go of the I admit it compulsive need to try to be perfect (while at the same time knowing perfection is impossible). I think I'll practice a little today by writing the essay that's due Sunday and submitting it without a bunch of rewrites. It's a 20 point essay for heaven's sake. I could completely skip at least one of them for sure and still pass the class. Probably more.
Wow, that feels freeing to say out loud.
