Like waiting for the last drop of ketchup

After I dropped off my revised paper late last night (late ... like "nearly this morning" late), I came home and tried to decompress. Now, I know it's unreasonable to get a final opinion on a paper well over twenty pages long in a day, particularly given how busy my paper advisor is, but I didn't hear word one from her today and that has me worried that maybe she didn't get the paper.

I know I should expect to hear something about the paper tomorrow, but again, given all that I have riding on this paper, it's hard not to be worried. I really need to get out on the job market here soon, and I won't feel comfortable applying for jobs starting in the new year until I'm sure that I'll have that degree in my pocket.
