magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

Still a bit stuffy, but feeling quite a bit better today. AM at the reference desk. Lunch at my studio desk.

We were supposed to have prepared a presentation on our progress in Thesis Research this afternoon. I had no idea. We've already diverged significantly from the order of things laid out in the syllabus. And last week had short individual meetings with the class instructor, and so there was no end of class wrap-up, here's what we're doing next week sort of thing. I was not the only one taken unawares, but was the first of those so taken to have to present something. Could have gone better. Could have gone worse. I had an idea during the discussion that followed that, as I said just after it occurred to me, might be absolutely brilliant and might be really stupid. A few day's perspective should illuminate which. Let's hope for the former.

To Manhattan for class. A falafel sandwich at Maoz. A snapping turtle at Parlor. Home to bed.
