And now, hypochondria!

Actually, I don't think it's hypochondria. We're in the middle of the season when all of the undergraduates get stressed out, forget to sleep, and get horribly, wretchedly sick. So I should be happy that all I've got is a sporadic headache and a little cough. Still--it's kind of annoying to be in a state where it isn't entirely clear whether I'm really sick or whether my mind is playing tricks on me.

Oh well.

I have my first meeting with one of my committee members this morning to go over my proposal, which has also been making me a little bit nervous. I should just admit to my nervousness. Hopefully he won't think I'm completely off my rocker and will think that my ideas are useful and cool. But you know me--I like to get worked up about feedback from other people. He's been a pretty quiet participant so far, but he's also quite smart and critical--in a good way.

While I'm providing the blow-by-blow

Well, that meeting I was nervous about? It was fine. Good, actually. That committee member was incredibly helpful and had good advice/ideas about things I need to change. And it was really helpful to get to think and talk aloud about some things that I had previously been unclear about.

So, yay. Oh, and, he seemed to think that I was doing okay. At least, that's the impression that I got. I have a feeling that I'm probably about an A-minus or B-plus student in his book, but you know what? That's a'right.
