My university hosts annual Research Day and this year they are adding a new component, a competition called Three Minute Thesis. This competition was developed by the University of Queensland, and it challenges students to present their research in three minutes or less. And they must present to an audience that has no idea what the presenter is talking about, so they basically have to start scratch. Here is one of my favorite videos. This girl is amazingly smart and her presentation is wonderful. I hope you all will enjoy this as much as I did.

I have to give my first presentation at the department level tomorrow. Which is rather nerve racking but I'm also excited.
Right now the Oscars are on so I'm taking a break from my first draft of my paper which is due this Friday. It's supposed to be 15-17 pages long. Currently I have half a first paragraph and a three page long works cited. Which I am really hoping my advisor will count into my total page count. But I'm not going to bet on that, my luck isn't that good. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to manage to present my Three Minute Thesis, do homework, work out, eat and sleep. I'm thinking the sleep is gonna go out the window. I apologize this post is mostly documenting the process of getting through a week of Capstone requirements. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It's funny I remember being a freshman and listening to all the seniors complaining about their capstone projects and now I understand. I apologize for the scattered nature of this post. But that seems to the theme of my life right now. So if you feel called to send me good thoughts, prayers, light, vibes or juju please feel free I could use as much support as I can get. Thanks again for your patience with me this evening. Best wishes and Good luck!
