Little more than 3 weeks away from thesis presentation. I’m beyond fucked. A week ago I felt optimistic. It felt wrong to feel that way, so I’m happy to say I’m fucked. Makes me feel sane. Makes me comfortable. The dread. Hating being around other people. It feels natural. Feeling the other way felt unnatural. For a hot minute there I thought I was hypo-manic. There’s no way I can get my shit together for the presentation. I’ll be lucky if they downgrade my thesis to a capstone. It happened to one girl in our lab. I don’t know how she felt about it, but I felt embarrassed for her. I think she was much more put together than me, so I think the same thing might happen if they are merciful. But I’m not submitting a thesis. I know it won’t be worth it. Biggest thing is the maze that I can’t get together. Fails at the 5 inch elbow. Almost full battery and died within minutes. Stupid boards having to take 5 volts instead of 3.3 like it’s supposed to is fucking me up. Probably doesn’t matter anyways. Camera would shut off anyways since it always needs 5 volts. I don’t know. Shits just not going to go well. That’s what I do know. My fucking left pinky nail has a hang nail so typing hurts like a ************.

I didn’t know they could downgrade a thesis to a capstone. On the battery, could it be a bad battery? Maybe swap it out? Or wire in a second in paralel? You’re not getting the voltage you need to the board you need so getting more out of the battery might help.
What does your advisor say? Sorry, just realized I’m asking a lot of questions and you said typing hurts… I know you put a lot into getting this far, I wish there was something I could do to help.
