verbicidePraise the lord. It's OVER.
Stayed up forever, then took time off work to churn through my redesign, report and oral presentation. But I finished! I even had time to brush my teeth before racing off to class. I had emailed Emma, asking that I go first. Normally I sit there until the last minute, burning myself an ulcer and hyperventilating, but not this time. I got up. I speedtalked (as always) through my presentation and hastened back to the safety of my seat. This class was really nice. We'd all been talking about our terrors of public speaking before I'd gotten up, so I felt I was among friends. I got some great comments about my redesign and speech and really, as nice as that was, I didn't expect anyone to boo, so was just relieved to have it OVER with.
Now need to put in the hours of work I put off earlier and possibly crash into bed early, cause I am fucking tired. So much still to do, I feel dizzy thinking about it. Must run millions of errands tomorrow, study for final for TC401 and pack. Aiiee!

It does get you good professional contacts, though, if you work at doing that.
