not too bad

it went... not so bad. i feel like i tried to do way too much in the time i was given. there were two rooms and the other room finished right before i went (i was choosen to be last) so all 5 of my programs top teachers were there to witness me go down in flames. i was talking really fast but it was much more entertaining than i planned for it be. my mind went blank when i tried to remember the theorist who gave the quote i was about to read, until someone was kind enough to point out that i had written it under the quote itself on the power-point slide.... cool feelings... anyway, all of the professors gave me really kind compliments afterwards. especially the two i really respect the most. one asked me to come by his office to chat because he'd like to hear some more. the other has been my mentor for this project and he said it had really come together smoothly.... so hopefully it was good enough..... i spent all today revising the final draft of the paper. on average, reviewing is taking at least an hour per paragraph. im on page 25 and have about a fourth left.... do i really want to go get a masters??? what am i thinking?

From your description of your teachers comments, I'd say your project must have been good. Take the compliments and run! I'm really proud of you. It must be a relief of gargantuan proportions to have that past you. Way to go, Bud!

Spencer,
You are so entertaining and smart, I'm sure your presentation was great. Can't wait to hear more about it.

We got your message! We were so happy to hear your voice. Waverly recognized it instantly. Sorry we missed you...we were in Palo Alto for a few days. The day we got back Henry got pink eye and diahhrea, and I got some random virus that the Dr. says looks like strep throat and an ear infection. Why didn't she do a strep test? I keep wondering that myself. Maybe it's because I only paid 1 co-pay for her to check out Henry, not me. She offered antibiotics for the ear infection, but I told her I'd call if I started feeling any real pain... I'm sleeping (hibernating, really) and not answering the phone this week. But if I hear a family member's voice on the machine...you never know...you could get lucky.

Why the long story? I don't know. I'm sick.
