Research Activities

Well...I've been cutting out slides like mad, and I've gotten the presentation down to around 15 minutes. Although I'm a little nervous, it is good getting all of this public speaking practice. I used to absolutely detest public speaking when I was a lot younger, but now I've more or less (depending on the time) come around to feeling more positive about it. It can be somewhat enjoyable actually. Last year at this time, I thought, "oh, I need to get research experience, I need to get research experience." So I spent my summer doing research, and then I've spent the last year doing research. And now I want a break from research! I like it, and I think that I would like it to be at least a part of my career....but now I really want a break!
