OK. So I haven't written anything in a while...life's been busy. Still is, but I need to take a 5 min break from working my fannie off. Okay, wait no, not really. I may just call it a night after this. I have a practice run of my thesis proposal presentation/exam with my two bosses tomorrow which consists of two hours of me giving a presentation about my research plan and have questions fired at me that I must try to answer without falling all over my words and/or having a total brain fart. The REAL thing is next Monday and I really hope I pass. I've spent all day today polishing/fixing my power point and giving it out loud to myself. I've gotten through it 3 times today. First time it took me and hour and 25 minutes, but I was fixing things as I went. Second and third time, it took me about an hour. It's supposed to be 30-40 minutes. Ooops. So I talked to myself for like 3.5 hours today. How annoying. I know I really should go through it aloud a few more times tonight, but I'm tired of talking. I hoping it doesn't go too badly tomorrow so that my last week of prep before the real thing isn't too miserable. If I pass next week I think I am gonna have a party or something. I think I will just have to! Okay, breathe, focus, calm, determination, confidence.
Good night.
Good night.
