Today, at 3:30 PM EST, I will be fulfilling my public lecture requirement by presenting a paper in my department's colloquium series. I will have the fun of presenting my ideas to the entire faculty, who then question and comment (with varying degrees of ruthlessness).

I'm scared silly. [Angst]

So, if you happen to have a moment to spare around 3:30, I could use all the good thoughts I can get.

Thanks [Smile]

You will do great, Megan!

I'll be on the road at 3:30 and depending on traffic good thoughts might be hard to come by [Big Grin]

, but I'll send you good vibrations now [Wink]

You can do it! [Smile]

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

yay! Good luck! I'll try to remember at 3:30, too... 2:30 my time...

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Ok, that's 12:30 my time. Will do!

Knock 'em dead! Remember, if you get nervous, just picture them all as Hatrackers.

Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :

Pfft...I know you Megan.

Worst case scenario, you'll be fine.

Best case scenario, it'll be your usual academic and personal excellence.

Good luck! [Big Grin]

You tell her Trevor!

I have full confidence in you as well. [Cool]

Knock 'em dead!

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Yay Megan! You're going to do wonderfully! [Smile]

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Megan: [Kiss]

You can do it!

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

Sending good thoughts your way! Have fun, and remember to talk slowly.

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Thanks, everybody! [Smile]

I'll let you know how it goes.

My thoughts will be happy, and with you on that side of town, (my body won't be there till a bit before 8, but that's beside the point).

Entire faculty, I'm seriously hoping it's just music theory, because entire music seems like it could be a lot of people (scary respectable people).

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Oh, it's just music theory (and possibly some musicology), but that's plenty frightening enough...especially considering that these are the people that decide whether I pass the requirement or not, and decide whether I get my Ph.D. or not, and write my job recommendation letters...you get the idea. [Smile]

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

Megan: YOu rock and you know it. [Smile]

You'll do fine.

But I'll be thinking of you anyway.

Posted by Mrs.M (Member # 2943) on :

I'll be in my voice lesson, so I'll definitely be thinking of you and sending good thoughts.

Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :

Have fun with it!

*sends positive affirmations*

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Looks like we're about an hour and a half away.

Posted by dread pirate romany (Member # 6869) on :

Sending good vibes now, as I would probably forget my 3:30....

You'll do fine.

vibes of the good variety [Smile]

*vein in forehead throbs in sympathy with good vibes being projected*

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Thanks for all the good thoughts and vibes!

I think it must have helped, because it seemed to go very well. All the questions asked were helpful and useful, and none of them were overly critical. Also, nearly all the attending faculty came up to me at the end and told me, "Good job!"

So, hooray! [Smile]

I may someday be Dr. Megan after all. [Big Grin]
