Just finished my Honors presentation at school. My god do I hate public speaking. It is getting better...I'll be ok teaching in grad school, so long as the classes aren't big. I get all nervous and talk really fast. At least they understood what I was talking about! Yay.

I am finishing my thesis tonight, which will be a huge burden off my back.

Also...this is my last week of school. Eek. I'll miss all of my professors :(

More news...I just got my Psi Chi certificate, so I am officially a member! This is a big deal if you are a psych student. So that's a super yay.

I generally have low self confidence when it comes to my intellectual ability, but every now and then I get a little confidence boost. Today, it came in the form of this is the e-mail I from my political science professor…

“Hey, Melisa, you can be my political consultant any day!!  This is a very strong, and very complete set of answers to these two questions.  I was particularly impressed by your mastery of the concept of framing and in general of your understanding of cognitive concepts.  You didn't neglect the affective either and your use of Westin was particularly fine.  This is certainly one of the strongest papers I've received, if not the strongest.  Excellent work!  I'm going to save a copy as a model for future classes.”

 And I turned this paper in two days late! Yay. :)

I hurt Darin's car today :( Bad me.
