Presentation Palpatations at Purchase

A busy day at Purchase today. At noon, we are having lunch with representatives from the community colleges the participants are from. Then pictures - group pictures, school pictures, program pictures. Sheesh, hope my hair looks okay today! Then we are having an afternoon class session, for the benefit of our visitors I am sure - we were told to expect guests during the class. And if that wasn't enough to keep us busy, they have planned a Career Interest Workshop for program participants. They said somewhere along the way I must have told somebody what I would like to do after college is said and done (will it ever really be said and done?), and that is the group I will be in. I am curious as to what group that is exactly. I haven't met anyone here with the same goals as me. Most participants are science oriented, so we'll see. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, I continue to prepare for my presentation for the final day. I've been receiving good feedback on my actual paper. All that's left is an accompanying power point presentation, that I'll be presenting to other participants, friends and family! I am already getting nervous about it and it's only a week away. Any tips on how to sound calm appreciated.

Did you start Infinite Jest? (See post below.) Actually, I left my copy home this week so The Guy can start it. I am way ahead of the summer reading schedule and I figured I could read more on the weekend. Today I'll give The Guy's progress report:
