Last Three Minute Thesis Competition

I apologize for not posting earlier, but it's been rather hectic around here lately as school is starting to wrap up.  Last Wednesday and Thursday were research day at UNA.  And Wednesday night was the final competition at the University level for the Three Minute Thesis Competition.  There were 11 contestants I believe.  There were 12 but someone didn't show up for whatever reason.  I am very excited to announce that I won People's Choice as well as First Place!  There were some really great presentations and I am very excited and honored that they chose mine.  I wish I had a video to post but honestly my voice sounds super weird on recordings, well at least I think it does so I will spare you from that.  I also had to take the OPIC which is the oral proficiency test that the Foreign Language department at UNA makes graduating seniors take to graduate.  We have to score a Intermediate-High,  which thankfully I did.  I am also super excited that as of tomorrow afternoon I will not have any more presentations to give before I graduate!  I feel like I have spent most of this semester presenting either on my Capstone research or other research that I'm doing for my classes.  It's rather nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.  But there are still 3 more research papers to be written and edited.  I'm also ready to be done with that.  Although in all honesty, as much as I complain about school and the work load I have, which trust me I am not exaggerating, I really do enjoy it.  I love learning new things and increasing my understanding of my research topics.  I really am a nerd.  I love doing the research part.  Its just disseminating that research into papers and tests that drives me crazy.  So there is a brief update on how things are going here.  Best of luck and wishes to you all.
