relief

Lab meeting presentation went well. I wasn't perfect and need to revamp my experimental plans, but I found that out TODAY and not at my exam, so that's good. What I did right was to cleverly leave my new exciting SHINY time-lapse movie from the new exciting SHINY microscope for the very end, and play it repeatedly, fostering an excited conversation about future time-lapse experiments. PI said it made her day, so I done good. (Doubtless I will get comments for the next day or two about what I could change, but when she's in a happy mood those are a lot easier to take!)

I still feel lower-level worried about my exam, but I get to take some deep breaths now.
