Well I have spoken with3-4 defense people - everyone but Carl - at least briefly. I think it will go okay and that I should be able to handle things well enough. Dr. Ewen told me a few little things that he will want to see corrected. He said not to worry about it until after the defense though, which is what I probably will do. Hopefully there won't be anything major to change and I can do anything that needs done over the weekend, depending on what is going on. This Saturday is *supposed* to be the cardboard bot relay, but I haven't heard anything back from people who want to build a boat, so bah! Baaaah! It is especially annoying because if I'm not going to be there I could have performed at a dance thing in Washington! Extra super bah! Well I could still call Maria and Chris - I didn't get to see them last weekend after all. And I guess I could try to go to the regatta after party.

Anyway, I meant to say more about my thesis. I really need to study more. I also need to give a short presentation talking about what I did for said thesis, so I guess I should work on that some. I am quite confident that I can talk about my work for 10-15 min without much challenge, but having something on paper will help me stay more focused. Heh, maybe I could just print out my table of contents ;)

I was thinking of going out o the gym for swimming but I really am having a hard time enthusing myself for it. I am trying to decide if I should just go now, right off the bat, or if I should wait and see if it becomes a more appealing idea for a study break later. I also hope I can get work done on some of my stories this week, but chances don't look great for that. Well as long as I don't fall behind again with Pieces I should be happy enough.

The good news, however, is that Dr. Ewen says that he thinks our comps are a farce and thus will probably not participate ;) Woot!

Off to get dressed and such, at least.

I also need to send people mails! I did get an awful lot of requests though, so bear with me...
