finally this very busy week is over... the night before the URC brought me to tears because I couldn't seem to get through my presentation when I was practicing... then I realized that I never practice my oral presentations and maybe that was what was stressing me out... so I went to bed and successfully woke up every hour or so until 6:05am on Friday when I actually had to get up. I got to campus around 7:15, got my URC packet, dropped off my rotation binder for grading, picked up my review forms for the morning, and went to sit in my presentation room. It was now about 7:35... 55 minutes until my presentation... crap.
I survived... some of my friends came to see my presentation. My sister couldn't come because her immune system is in an epic battle with a late onset flu virus (it's an ugly battle, mucous everywhere, pretty upsetting). B came too and everyone told me I'd do fine but I was still nervous... then to top things off in walks a very intense professor, JA... he will be one of my evaluators. Next in walks SN, another very intense professor... fortunately she was only the time keeper for the morning session.. My other evaluators were KR and one other faculty member. So, I gave my presentation which had a video clip in it which of course didn't work and I answered the questions and overall I think it went ok... At least it is over :-)
I watched a bunch of other presentations and reviewed 6 of them and then went to a reception for the students pursuing post grad education... that was fun :-) I'm looking forward to my residency year with E and T... I'm sure J will be a nice guy too.
So, I slept in today in a big way and got up around noon. Now I'm just wasting time while I should be cleaning or something.
--pause--
B just attacked me and tickled me. Not cool B, not cool.
Anyway, I should go do something now before I have to get ready to meet T and M at Bonefish at 5pm...
Happy weekend everybody!
