The nerves set in...
Although this semester seems to have gone by rather fast, it seems like a lifetime ago that I started working on my senior project. I have everything at standard and I am prepared to present; I have done everything that I can to make tomorrow run smoothly. Now, however, I just want to be done with it all. My only hope is that tomorrow goes a little more smoothly than today. This morning I went to the classroom in which I will be presenting; lucky me, I am in the math building where they really don't use the Infocus machines. I take the time to go there and make sure all of the equipment works for tomorrow, but just my luck: nothing is set up. I ask the teacher if she has an Infocus and my response is "Yes, right here in the closet." Now that is definitely a useful place for it to be; I will be sure to project my presentation onto the closet door. When I ask if it will be set up tomorrow, "I am sure someone will set it up" is my answer. Nothing in this classroom seems to be organized for presentation and this simply adds to my stress. What if something doesn't work? I wasn't able to check things out for myself, so I can only hope that by the time I present tomorrow night things will be ready to go. Is it really that hard for teachers to take the time to cooperate and set a few things up? This is graduation we are talking about, and the nonchalance that I faced today wasn't very encouraging. All I can do, however, is sit back and hope that someone took the time to be concerned about this graduation requirement that is set upon us. I know that tomorrow night; I will feel a flood of relief. So, good luck to everyone who is presenting tomorrow, and I hope things go smoothly. And to everyone presenting next semester, well now you know what you get to look forward to. Have fun with that.

The wave of relief that rushes over you the second your presentation is over is amazing. I hope everyone's projects went well.
