After describing a project successfully completed, I want folks to write about the dumb things they said and did as they finished as well as the supports they leaned on as they concluded.   Then we&#8217;ll describe some of the crazy things students we&#8217;ve seen lately, and, most importantly, the ways we can support our students as we finish the year (and the big projects) together.   There&#8217;s also a &#8220;let it go&#8221; box for the stuff the battles that simply can&#8217;t be fought at the end of the year.   <\/p>\n<p>I think about various projects where I&#8217;ve struggled mightily at the end; the night before I defended my dissertation I declared that I had nothing, that it was all shit.   I had all sorts of supports to get things done.  Many of my students have never had an emotion they can&#8217;t handle inappropriately.
