Apr. 2nd, 2009 08:47 pmDONE. I am DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE.
Amazingly, I don't think it went ENTIRELY badly. I still think I flubbed up on some of the questions, but it went better than the symposium talk, I think. What really freaked me out was when it came time for my talk and a TON of people came in to listen. Not the author guy, thankfully, but still. A friggin' TON. That's a little scary. On the other hand, SEE, FUNDING PEOPLE? PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THESE GRASSES, EVEN IF YOU DON'T. People said I thought I did well, so I hope that's worth something. ^_^
I also appear to be getting ill. Sore throat, slightly feverish, occasional hintings that whatever's in my throat wants to check out my ears, which would make me VERY CROSS. On the downside, it's suckitude. But on the up side, since I wasn't feeling 100%, it took the edge off of my nerves when I tried to present. Considering how I was wigging out the night before, that's probably not a bad thing.
Ah well, it's DONE. One less thing. 'course, I still have ten thousand things I need to do, and one more presentation for next week that I've barely started, so I've somehow gotta pull that together, but at least this is a dragon that's been thoroughly slain.
