Why Does My Mood Icon Always Say Caffeinated? And How Is That A Mood?
Mood:  caffeinated
Yesterday my voice was tired and I felt like I might be getting sick, so I took the advice of the all-knowing Anny and got a good sleep. Anny also advised me to avoid dairy and caffeine before an audition. I broke my promise to myself and had Diet Vanilla Coke before my oral presentation today, which always enhances my ability to speak and think quickly. Isn't that amazing? It really is -- although an intense caffeine buzz combined with nervousness sometimes reminds me of final exams, which in turn increases said nervousness. I had less to regret about the coke than I thought, though, since it turns out my audition could be almost two weeks away! Apparently it's a long process.

The ceramics presentation went very well, although there was a minor fiasco into which I will not delve involving printing the accompanying paper. With any luck, it will all be fine. I have another presentation tomorrow, which means more little coffee cups at the top of the screen. Yay for stimulants.

My Lit professor is hilarious. Here is an example from seminar today:"I must protest about your denegration of [Sherlock] Holmes' erotic nature." That is a quality quotation right there. Qual-it-y.
