It's time to start on paperwork...

If you've been reading previous entries of this blog, you're probably wondering how I moved on to step 13 so quickly. No I didn't suddenly feel a mass of inspiration and crank out every remaining piece. And no, I didn't give up either. However, I need to submit my paperwork within the next 6 days or so and since there's a lot of writing to be done, I need to get started. I have completed the vast majority of my project (I'd say around 90%) and am still poised to finish laying out these last components and ironing out some bugs. 

However, I've been burning the candle at both ends and it's physically, mentally, and emotionally wearing me out. I've developed a twitch, it hurts to look at any light, I'm having regular anxiety attacks, and I haven't consistently showered or done anything but work and schoolwork for weeks. Besides, I've hit the cap of one of the common project constraints - time, and have to go live with what's working and just note what I didn't have time to fully implement. It will just have to be enough. 

1. Write the Recipe Builder update logic
2. Write the Recipe Builder delete logic
3. Write the HTML builder for Recipes
4. Write the database interaction methods for the Meal, Meal Plan, and Daily Plan classes
5. Update the meal planner tab based on the successes and failures of number 4
6. Write the GUI logic for the meal planner tab (all three interaction methods)
7. Write randomizer logic for meal plans
8. Design GUI for meal plan randomizer
9. Design GUI for shopping lists
10. Design logic for shopping lists
11. Design printer control for shopping lists and meal plans
12. Debug remaining errors on Recipe Builder
13. Write Capstone Project Paperwork and submit it.
14. CELEBRATE!!!!!!!! (when I pass, anyway)

Wow, apparently I'm too fried to even comprehend what I'm reading about my capstone deliverables. I guess tonight is going to be a time to try to relax enough that I can stop panicking and start working again later. I am taking Friday off to work on my project and paper, but Sunday is Mother's Day so the weekend is shot. Again, though, perhaps if I clear my mind for the rest of the day I'll be able to come back and really push through the report-writing phase tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday.
