hello nerves!

So way back in October, I was told about the English Graduate Conference.

Hey! I thought. That sounds great. Bunch of us in a room, talking about our work, presenting papers. Another line on my resume! Good experience if I do pursue the Ph.D. I'll do it.

Monday morning I was reminded that OH CRAP, it's this weekend! And I hadn't looked at the paper I had submitted since I wrote the blasted thing in November!

I had a paper due on Wednesday, and all kinds of work to do between then and tonight.
I've managed to get through it just fine, but oh GOD. Am I nervous about tomorrow. Public speaking and I are barely on speaking terms. And I am READING a ten page paper of mine. In front of PEEEEOPLE. What in the hell was I thinking!

It's tomorrow. Nine thirty am. Torgeson 1020.

Outfit? Black top, probably with sleeves, black and white Ann Taylor skirt, red heels.

Off to go obsess a little bit more. Am I going to sleep tonight? I dunno. I hope so.
*deep breathing*
