And there went my Saturday

So, yesterday I had to wake up like it was any other weekday and go to a workshop for research days in April. Officers got there early to go through some presentations we had to give. I was to briefly describe poster requirements, so I was like meh, no big deal. Of course, as always, I started to think about it and quietly, slowly I started to freak out. Just a little. I do this every time: I pretend I'm cool with it, I don't think about it until the day of, and then it hits me and I get nervous. I hate that I do it, but I've gotten a lot better. I did horrible on the practice run-through, but on the actual presentation I think I did alright. I can't actually remember, which is another common phenomenon. Oh, well. That's what happens when I don't get to practice the day before. Beside that whole thing, the day was alright. I enjoy the people in HHMI, and I feel very at ease with most of them. We have fun.

Exams have sort of caught me off guard. I have one this week, two next week, and one after that. The amount of studying required for these types of tests is so much, and I hate that I haven't kept on top of things. Lots of reading tonight, that's for certain.

I hope you are all doing well. Goodnight.
