overload.

overload seems like my theme right now.

today, i think i ran out of space on my flash drive. i've had so many presentations this semeter. and papers. and files to store.
it's crazy.

so. i called my dad, and he had my mom pick some up at costco. did you know you can get three 2 GB flash drives for only $50 now!? i remember when they used to cost like $100 just for one with about 1/4 the space. plus these little beauties are retractable, so no worries about losing the silly cap or breaking the connection part. lovely.

[yes. i am really am pretty excited about these flash drives. it's ridiculous... and i'm fully aware of that.]

so. my ethics presentation went really well on monday. i'm SO glad it's over. but now i have to get my notebook from the whole semester ready to turn in. that's going to be way more work then i want to do. i took notes on the presentations knowing that i would need to rewrite them in order to turn them in... but i just really don't want to do that part now. :[

tomorrow i have my lab meeting presentation. i've been stressing about it for so long. i've been working really hard on my powerpoint, and i just don't feel that it's ready yet. so i'm pretty much freaking out. yesterday, i stopped by the lab after my ethics presentation, and sharon said, "so i understand that you might be overly stressing about this lab presentation..." and i was like "well. yeah i'm super stressed about it." and she tried to reassure me, but i don't think that's really possible right now. it's in my nature to stress, and this is bigger then any other presentation that i've ever given. big deal = big anxiety. ack.

as soon as that's done, i have to get to work on my thesis rough draft. i'm probably not as worried about that right now as i should be, but i think all my worries are just focused on the presentation.

then i have to do some laundry, pack, and print my photos for san antonio. i have no idea what to pack. i wanted to plan cute outfits, but i just don't know if i'll have the time to get all the laundry done. and i don't have time to go shopping. i also have no idea what photos to bring. they gave some guidelines, but they are very rough guidelines.

plus. i have to read odd women by monday. i don't know how i'll accomplish that over the weekend. i'm really bad at reading during flights, but i guess i'll have to force myself. oh and last week, i ended up going to barnes and noble to get the book. they didn't have it, but said they would order it and call me when it was at the store. they still haven't called. :[

so i'm overloaded, anxious, tired, and a little frustrated. i think i'll have some tea and get back to work. :/

oh but i did talk to genea last night. that was really nice. it's funny how much we can still relate about things. we talked about how when we go back to fallon, we don't really like to go out in public, but just enjoy the comforts of home. :] anyway. she might be coming down in december to stay for a night or so. it would be really great to see here again. it's been quite a while now.

p.s. Alyssa... sorry for the late notice, but i just got the schedule of events tonight for my trip. it looks like the only free time i will have will be from when i arrive around 3:00 until 7:00pm on friday. i realize that with ted's work schedule, that probably won't work out for you guys. :/ so i'll have to try to make it down to fallon around thanksgiving before i leave for denver. maybe on wednesday i can come out after my class at 2:30...
