And you're just sitting there....
Sunday, 10 June 2007

I survived my first NABS talk...I think I was probably more nervous about that presentation than I am about my MS defense! It makes it a little more high-pressure when all of the "rock stars" of aquatic biogeochemistry are sitting there in front of you. Even though I can't really remember giving my talk, everyone says it went really well, so I guess I'll just have to trust them on that! I'm pretty sure most of the people in my department won't even understand what I am talking about. Anyway, I met some amazing people, drank a lot of beer, and actually learned a few things about science before going out to drink more beer! And I remembered how much I don't miss the south in the summertime. Sure, the people are amazing and the magnolias and lilies were in bloom...but the humidity is just too damn much for me after living out west.




So I'm back in Wyoming now. Final edits go into the thesis today...it goes back to my advisor for a last read-through on Monday...and then to my committee. I defend next Monday, and at this point I'm just ready for it to be over with! I still have masses of paperwork to deal with before leaving. What a pain in the ass. I just hope I'll be ready to leave for the field on the 22nd!
