I hate public speaking

My week of apprehension is over! I successfully (wow, look at all those doubled consonants) gave my presentation in Fort Worth, and I did well on my pathology exam. The presentation kept me in a fit of nausea and panic attacks for the week preceding it, but it did give me an excuse to buy a really awesome suit. And my shoes were fabulous and extra pointy. And I even had a good hair day, so I couldn't really ask for more. Now I can devote myself to catching up on all of my neglected studies, with a little drunken debauchery thrown in. After all, you only live once, right?

In case anyone cares, my presentation was entitled "Potential Roles of Partridges and Pheasants as Intermediate Hosts for Avian Influenza Viruses." It brought the house down.

I'm listening to the new Muse album. It's pretty good, but I don't think it's going to change my life, or anyone else's for that matter.
