The Defendant

Wow. So, today I defend my thesis. It doesn't seem real yet, because here I am in my pyjamas, drinking hot water with lemon and honey because I keep going to houses with cats (cats make me lose my voice). I have my voice right now, but I'm still exhausted from my numerous allergic reactions this weekend. I slept in until 10:00 this morning (I set my alarm for 8:20) because I was so tired.

So: wish me luck? Pray for me? I feel like I know this and I shouldn't be worried, but then I feel like I don't have my opening comments planned well enough, and then when I try to answer my own questions in my head they get all jumbled up... Maybe I'm nervous.

I need to find some way to make myself feel confident and human now.
