Oh, so stressed I am as I sit in the faculty lounge at WKU today just before my oral exam. I haven't slept this week. My stomach is in knots. My bones ache. I try to tell myself that I know this and I know that I do. I try to tell myself that it's just like an interview of sorts - and, I do well at interviews usually. I try to tell myself that these professors are on my side - they like me and I respect them. I try to tell myself all of this and I suppose I know all of this. Yet, here I sit about to vomit on my lap and leave this building as panic is seeping through my every vein. I know that this too shall pass and that this will all be over and I know that too many before me have sat through this. I know! I know! Still, ahhhhhhh! I just want to pass with distinction. I don't want them to ask me anything that I don't know well and about which I can't give deep insight. So, here I go! I'm sure I'll blog how it all goes!
