about half way done

so, i've gone over what i'm going to present to gen and she's really great so she was being all critical and then going through what she thinks i should have in it and checking what i've done.

i've got all the background of the study and my analysis finished. i have some of the graphs all done and want to do a few more - but i've been working on this none stop, so i think i'm going to go home for a little while then come back again (i miss college where dinner was downstairs and you could return whenever) plus, i can park close now and that way i won't have to be hungry and walk 20 minutes by myself late at night.

i'm feeling really good about it though because gen and courtney approved some of my jokes and said tim wouldn't hate me or think i'm disrespectful (the title is RSV Challenge (the study name): and then in smaller print so much data, so little experience) and i have an all about me slide next that the last line is First time giving a lab meeting so . . . be gentle, its my first time. i figure if i make myself seem witty yet nervous and a bit over my head with all the data, i'll evoke sympathy and likeability to make the rest of the presentation go by with constructive criticism (which i want and need) and no god she's an idiot condecending remarks :)

i'll blog again tomorrow :)
