Under Pressure

I have two projects that, if I hand them in late until Rosh Chodesh Shvat, I have to pay 50 shekels. However, if I hand them in late after Rosh Chodesh Shvat (ie, more than one year after the course), then I have to pay 250 shekels.

Thank G-d, one is done and waiting (for a while, actually), and the other one I am now in the middle of, with my motivation being the saving of 200 shekels. It's not that I couldn't afford it if I wanted to put it off, thank G-d. It's just that I am a bit stingy..and have always been. Well, now it comes in handy. So, I am translating and revising my project, and Y. is kind enough to help me find the mekorot for the footnotes (and was kind enough to give me ideas, as well). The countdown begins...can I hand it in on time?

Wish me luck...

(The good thing is that now these projects will get done, because I'd like to finish everything this year, get my degree, and not have to worry about it next year. Actually, I'd like to finish before Rosh Chodesh Adar 1. But that remains to be seen...)
