Yesterday I gave my thesis presentation, and there are a few things that have been floating around in my head. There are a few ideas that popped in there immediately afterward, and later relaxing in my apartment with dress clothes no were in the nearby vicinity. Here are some of my main thoughts, loosely in order with or without many scenes in between.

1. I'm up next... I'm not ready

There is nothing like counting down from the current presenter's powerpoint until the moment it's your turn to be judged by the entire department and those pesky freshmen. Time to practice my breathing so I'm not a train wreck up there.

2. Holy crap I'm doin' it

Don't mess up. Don't mess up. You got this. Oh-my-god-everyone-is-looking-at-me like I have something important to say. Oh **** I do have something important to say. Time to rock this and hopefully not forget what to say for an entire slide. What time left did that card have? Crap I forgot what I was going to say to end out this slide. Just roll with it, bro.

3. I'm done... That was horrible.

There was no way that the random mess of words that vomited from my mouth made any literal sense. I hope my mentor suddenly had somewhere else to see and didn't have to endure this tirade of bull**** coming from my mouth. Time to sit down and shut up. Oh no, it's Q&A time... field me some easy ones, please. I am not mentally prepared for this situation of adulthood. I am expected to have responsibilities and

4. Turns out it went pretty well

People liked it! Hot damn. Feelin' pretty good now. This email from my mentor is pretty rad for the self-esteem boat. Unless they are just saying that...

5. I deserve a reward

Time to go eat some junk food and watch Netflix. Because I did enough adult things for today.

6. Wrong- I deserve more homework

But, alas, there are other classes that I pushed off because I was in utter terror of giving my thesis presentation. They are clamoring for the attention they need now. I can no longer ignore them under the pretense that this presentation was more important. These other classes are rearing their head like a viscous, homework mongering mongoose.

7. This semester ain't over yet!

Only a couple more weeks left in this semester, so I better finish it out strong! I can do this. Nothing could be as hard as that presentation, right?
