May post every day / nervous about presentation / parents in town
I maybe should be asleep but I want to get something in here because I want to make May a post-every-day month. happiness or groans at this idea? Also I want to do this: 750 words but not every day, maybe every third day or maybe just randomly when I've got time.
I'm also procrastinating going to bed because I'm so nervous about tomorrow, I have to present a poster at a "very competitive" event. I didn't think it would be such a big deal when I decided to do it (it seemed more fun than a paper), but there are prizes and professionals speaking and aghhhhh SO NERVOUS. I've been warned (by my professor) that my poster will be picked apart, but my prof seemed to think it was pretty good so hopefully I'm not about to endure serious embarrassment. still, *jitters!* at least tomorrow afternoon it will be DONE (and then I have an exam immediately following of course).
My parents are in town (they picked the worst possible week) and they are staying in a hotel but they are doing stuff to the house and they are here every day, early until late. That adds a LOT to my stress level because I can't run around naked and I can't avoid interaction. They have been fairly civil which is nice I guess. Oh, and they threw out the big mattress because apparently it wasn't up to par, so now I only have one twin guest bed! but I do have a 4-foot cushion that is good enough to sleep on so hopefully Anika can still stay here and kidlet can sleep on the cushion? Also surprise the downstairs toilet does work, it just leaks a bit.
aghhhh I suppose I should try to sleep!
