You have a week, get on it this weekend and let your computer/computers render the entire week. I suggest you render out in a targa sequence file and combined them all in a third party program so you do not lose all your data if your computer crashes.

Oh and FYI: Your animations will never look as good as you want them to be. It's just something you have to deal with. Every time I look at my animations I always think "My goodness!! That looks awful! I could have made it look better." Even my personal project right now I think looks god awful. I've even talked to professionals and they say that they always cringe when they see their own work. The problem is that you see your work as what it should be and not what it is. A fresh pair of eyes, who knows animation, will be able to tell you if its good or not.

If you do look back at your previous work and do not cringe, that is a BAD thing. It means you are not growing as an artist.
