I just gave a practice defense talk. I basically blew it. I didn't even get past the first slide before my mind went blank. I guess it doesn't help that I finished the talk last night at 11:30 and I only went through it once this morning. But, since I sucked so hard, Tom and everybody helped out alot with organization and comments, so it should be alot better by Thursday (so soon!). I have a plan now, and I've identified alot of extra information to cut out. But tonight I'm just going to feel sorry for myself because I did such a shitty job today.
