You're both going to get through it and be fabulous! Kris, the computer was designed as a sort of blood pressure stress test. After wrangling the printer on a tight schedule, facing a few profs will be cake! Soften them up with some doughnuts and coffee, and both of you remember you do know this stuff (better than some of the committee members who only glanced at it...)

Maybe I could spike the coffee with Kava Kava Thanks for the support. I actually printed out three copies of my finished draft to turn into my committee members by tomorrow. I am so relieved! The only thing I have left to do is to finish putting the little photos in....wahoo, wahoo...oh yah...and prepare, practice and execute my defense (gulp). Did I mention that I defend the day our packers come? Well, I'm starting to get excited...I've been "practicing in the car, etc...just trying to get a feeling for how it will go...but I'm stuck with my intro....how do you start smoothly...I am not sure if I should introduce myself and my topic and then just say "lets get started...Carbonic anhydrase....". That seems sort of akward...



Any suggestions will be "stolen" and used....

You all are so awesome--just the other day I was talking to a friend of mine who found anothe site where she thought that all they did was bitch and moan and complain. I told her to check out this site. I hope SHE found this page to see how much support there is here for ANYONE who is looking for it

I considered making your username hoohoo (you know how I love that word ), but I was afraid you'd take some great offense



Everyone here has been so supportive. I am so grateful for everyone's support. Here I sit, 12.30am in the lab trying to print out some final photos....this thing has to be turned in tomorrow......and we were out of photo paper in the lab...so I ran to the store and came back...turns out I bought the wrong kind (of course ) and I don't have enough pages!!! All I can do at this point is laugh, really! I don't even feel upset about it.....it is kind of neat for me that all of this if finally coming together....I am even enjoying the stress of it all....and yes, I would have not waited until the last minute to do this, but our w/d is broken and I am having to wash clothes at the laundromat I left at 7 and it took me 3 1/2 hours...I did 16 LOADS! AAACCK! Now that is stress! I feel good...I really feel good. Thank you all for making this so positive for me.

PS...Claudia.....you are next..when I am done with this, I am going to be "motivating" you daily!!!!!!!!
