Yeah, I know the feeling. Right now I have to write two big papers for one class and the due dates overlap.
Back in highschool I had an English teacher, who, even if you answered every question correctly, would only give you a 90 because, and I quote, "Nobody's perfect". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She can go **** herself for all I care. She also thought LotR was non-fiction, because she wouldnt let my friend do a fiction book report on it, saying that it wasnt fiction. ![]() We got us a winner here.

I hear you about the teachers. When you still had to type papers, I had a multi-page paper kicked back for a margin on page 6 that wasn't perfectly centered.
I hated that man's ruler.

Silly me, I managed to food poison myself last night. Didn't get many hours of sleep after that.

I'm against whaling as well.
I'm not an anti-hunting guy, but whaling is uneccesary for anyone. The aleutians killed a whale last year/ earlier this year that was over 100 years old. They found an old spearhead in the whale, and they dated it....

Not sure if this is a vent or not, but..
Tomorrow I have an important presentation where I'm going to talk about my master's thesis. It's actually only a rehearsal for a presentation I have next week on a conference in Tartu, Estonia. The whole research group will be listening tomorrow, including my professor and some other great scientists, and this makes me horribly nervous. X) It's funny how I have to constantly remind myself that I'm supposed to make mistakes and learn.. *shakes head* It's silly how nervous I am. Anyways, off to bed.. It'll be nice when tomorrow is over.. X)

It actually went really well! I somehow managed to change my attitude and realized that this was a rehearsal where I was supposed to get suggestions on how to make it even better - and I did, I got some nice, constructive feed-back. So, perhaps even the "real" presentation will go well.. We'll see.
![]() Thanks for asking! ![]()

Nice, very nice. And of course your real presentation will go just fine!
![]() ![]() You know what you're writing right? So no matter what the question, I'm sure you're able to answer it somehow. And if it's your master thesis you must have some passion for the subject. Showing your passion and knowledge can earn you a lot of points, hehe. ![]()

Oh, yes: there is no lack of passion! I'm working on the presentation now, at 2.30am, when I should sleep. XD But yes, the rehearsal made me a bit more confident.

Confidence is good.
![]() So, what's your thesis about?

umm, okay... immunity and social bring me to think it has something to do with psychology or something, but the same immunity with the insect make me think of biology. Which one is it?
