I got some bad news this morning... my Ph.D. advisor didn't like the slide presentation I prepared for my preliminary examination next Thursday. Judging from the very long and detailed email he sent me, it's total garbage. I was pretty surprised, because a couple weeks ago he seemed enthusiastic about the prospectus my presentation is entirely based on. So, I've got to redo the whole thing this weekend.
It's kinda depressing. I had a few things I wanted to write about today, but I feel completely drained of energy. I don't want to be at work, I want to go home and take a nap and then start working on my new presentation. Blah.
I'll be praying for you, Michael. Remember the victory is already one. Anything good happening here on earth is just a bonus.
Yeah, thanks. Still, not the way I want to spend my birthday weekend.
That sucks :(
I hope you manage a happy birthday though.
Michael,
Keep your eyes on the goal! I suspect you have a lot of readers rooting for you. And I suspect you already know that the easiest way to tackle a big assignment is to break it up into small manageable pieces -- and take each piece at a time.
Good luck and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Just be thankful you aren't fighting a cold or the new killer flu strain -- imagine trying to do all that work with your head like mush!
There! THAT ought to make you feel better! *grin*
Oh yeah... and Happy Birthday!
Birthday? Well, have a happy one... ;-)
Heather: But I am sick, and have been for a week. I think it's finally fading. I don't normally get severe symptoms, so it's not really a big deal.
As for breaking it up into smaller chunks... there isn't much time left for that!

You mean you don't do your best work under pressure? What kind of student are you? *grin*
Well, I got a lot done last night, so hopefully it all makes sense when I revise it again today.
