Argh argh argh argh!
After a long absence, I'm returning to lj... to whine about my upcoming presentation. Over the past three weeks, I've had four exams (which were not that bad), and now I'm biding my time until I have to defend my thesis (the paper I went to Lyon for). And I'm stressed! STRESSED! Why, why do they have to schedule my presentation tomorrow at 4.30 pm? I'll be sitting here all day, biting my nails to the bone (I'm slowly turning into the Venus of Milo), trying to convince myself that I'll be ready for every possible question they might fire at me. Which I'm not! (Or am I?)
I've gone into fandom-withdrawal, too. My mother suggested I ate a piece of chocolate to calm myself before I go in, and now all I can think of is standing in front of three Dementors, stuttering my way through my answers. And I'm a compulsive grinner, on top of that - I can't help smiling when I'm nervous. So all I need now is a well-cast Ridikulus to get rid of my fear, right?
Well, this helped a bit - and I'm also looking forward to Friday, when I'll be visiting warrior_little (I can't wait!). And apparently, Hien will be coming to Belgium on Saturday - so I've got a great weekend to look forward to.
But still... STRESSED! (I won't be having tea tomorrow morning, that's for sure...)
Oh, and check out my new lay-out here - after exam number four, I had an evening off.
