exsequarI don't know why you don't all yell at me when I get worked up like that. "ANNE YOU'RE BEING A DRAMA QUEEN," you should shout. "IT WILL BE FINE. STOP IT." Because it's always true! And this thing was a blip on the stress-dar, as far as these things go. When I start freaking out about my Honors Thesis defense, then it will be justified, but everything else, bitchslap me, alright?
In short, it went fine. A trickle of about 5 or 6 professors came by and asked questions, none too terribly challenging, and I handled myself fine. Dr. Thomsen and Dr. Brewer were a bit intimidating, but they actually both had really interesting ideas to contribute, so that was cool. Dr. Mehl, the scary one? Um. He kind of charmed my pants off (or skirt, actually). He was very sweet and just curious about the gist of my project, which I could totally handle, and when I mentioned I was going to Dublin for the year he gave me a blindingly beautiful smile. And. Um. I don't know if it's just this context? That he's really nice in? But er. I had him pegged rather incorrectly. Oops!
So all is well! It's Friday! I'm home! Ryan needs to sing all the time! It's Friday! YAY!
ETA: Hahahaha I JUST remembered that Dr. Mehl's first name is - you guessed it - RYAN. Haaaaa. This is hilarious. And I may have a mini crush on him now. WHAT.
Speaking of inappropriate crushes, I may or may not get a little frisson every time I see my organic chemistry teacher. YEAH THE FIFTY SOMETHING ONE WITH TWO DAUGHTERS. THAT ONE. *hides face*

My high school chemistry teacher has three kids, a crazy-ass beard/mustache combo, and a cute little stomach paunch. I may or may not be kind of a little bit in love with him... like I want to marry someone exactly like him, only about 30-40 years younger, you know? Also, you said 'frisson.' So it's totally okay. We cannot help what our bodies tell us, Anne.

Date: 2007-07-28 04:46 am (UTC)Haha, I'm SO GLAD to hear it! But the thing is, my OLD organic teacher is even kind of HOT. Like. 20 years ago? I would have totally jumped him. One of my bosses at the library told me that when he first came to work for F&M, 15 years ago, all the girls were swooning for him, AND I TOTALLY BELIEVE IT. He's a George Clooney!!! ONly not really, but in principle!
