Adventures in grad school continue

Feels weird to not have talked to anyone in person since Monday. Might see Z later today, though.

I did got out for a run on Wednesday, despite not liking running. I did it after dealing with some stressful emails (due to a communication mix-up, apparently the day I was told my advisor could do my proposal is a day he can't! yaaaaay) and it was really, really nice to get outside and get some exercise. I think my stamina even improved slightly over the last time I went for run months ago. Skating's not an endurance sport, but I guess it still helped.

Not going outside = not a lot of distractions from work, and I had a meeting with my advisor yesterday so I got a good amount of coding done beforehand. He said my presentation is looking very good :) although he still asked me to add a couple more slides and adjust a few others. Next week, we'll go through the talk itself; I practiced it once earlier and I'm already feeling pretty good about it. Honestly, I just want to get it over with at this point!
