I had my first presentation to see whether this project is 'worthy' of a PhD research project and if I can move on to Ethics and all the wonders that follow that. I was a wreck leading up to the presentation. If any of you really know me, or have had me in your class, you know how much I hate public speaking. It stresses me out. However, I do better at public speaking when it is not timed and when it is a symposium. One of the reasons why I have never seen myself as a teacher. So, I stressed myself sick in the days leading up to the presentation. It was awful.
But in the end, I passed. Thank goodness that is over and now only 2 more to go.
So yes, nothing too exciting, but I did pass. My flat mate and I went and celebrated with lunch, coffee and a movie. We tried this pizza place that serves Gluten Free pizza, and it was amazing! (Not as good as Pie 5, but hey, this was great!) We had coffee at Neros and Clements, and saw Daddy's Home. I think I was one of the only people in the theatre that understood the American references, as I felt like I was the only one laughing.
She has been an amazing friend. She backed me up with the horrible housing issue I had, stood by me, and supported me, during that huge mess. And when I moved flats she helped me move. Luckily, it was only one building behind hers, so not too far. But it was more fun having someone move all my stuff with and laugh with in the process.
I also ordered a hard bound copy of my Masters dissertation, as I never took the opportunity to order one for myself. It's really nice looking and made me miss the wonderful year I had. I miss the cadavers and my anatomy classes. Sure they were hard then, but gosh, I would do anything to work more intensively in dissection.
Sorry this is so short, but not much has happened. Mom did book her flight, so...let the count down begin!
