Defense? Defense? Don't even SAY that nasty word to me..ya hear ! Man, I am so nervous about it I could just CRY! I haven't even gotten my thesis completely finished yet! WAAAAH! Today I am having a babysitter come for 3 hours so that I can go up and finish some kinetics calculations with one of the PHDs. Then I will add those into my final table, spiff it up and turn it in tomorrow, I hope! But they have all of these ridiculous requirements...I'm afraid the editorial office is going to kick back my final draft and I'll already be in MN....



Thomas is going to "babysit" the kids tonight, while I go and get as much of the powerpoint presentation done as possible....Then I figure I will have about 5 days to practice it non-stop in front of the mirror before my practice run with my profs...and then just another few days before I have to present...June 22 is the day.......gag! How DID you survive that? I am never going to be able to do it! Help..need encouragement desperately

oh honey - i don't know how i survived it - it was awful! and it wasn't

even the "final" defense! i still have that to look forward to whenever i

actually finish this thing! just keep reviewing your stuff so that you

feel super confident going in - i think that hurt me. i felt like there was oh

so much more that i needed to know. and you know your stuff!! you

know you do! practice with people who know almost nothing about your

thesis, too - then you don't feel dumn like you are trying to impress someone

and you can amaze yourself at how much you really really do know!!!

just think - it will be over so soon!!! i know how you are feeling, though.

that has to be the single worst experience of my life. i know - way to

encourage someone, eh?! just trust in yourself, believe in yourself, go in

there exuding confidence and smile and keep telling yourself that you

know this stuff (b/c you do!!)

Thank you, Thank you........I am feeling a bit more positive. Everyone here has been so encouraging, and I truly appreciate that!



I met with my professor today and he told me not to worry, that I'd be fine...and kind of outlined what will be expected of me. The weird thing is that he is NOT my major professor. My major professor has never even read my thesis...isn't that weird? I am wondering what will happen at the defense...if he finally gets around to reading it
