whew

My journal club presentation today went really well! I was brainless due to menstrual onset for a couple days beforehand, so the slides were extremely basic and I got called out on that a little, but this morning I finally found a good angle of approach for the intro and everything came together. Comments were uniformly positive; I got one "too little intro" and one "intro too basic" so probably struck the right balance there too. Yay for success in the face of stress!

Now I just need to rock my thesis defense in ONLY THREE WEEKS.
