Making Gravlax

So I have decided to test my culinary skills and cure some Gravlax. Essentially Gravlax is salt and sugar cured Salmon. The salt cure was really simple the only problem is the whole process takes a week. It has not even been 10 hours as I write this post and already I want to open up the saran wrap and take a look at the salmon. I have no idea how I am going to wait until 2 pm friday(to put on the sugar) let alone next wednesday to sample the food.
