what went down today
written on Thursday, October 13, 2016 @ 10:27 PM ✈
So my presentation was at 9:20 this morning........ the second one up (order is pre-determined). Good and bad - good because get it over and done with and feel numb after, and bad because not mentally prepared (never).
However one good thing is that when my friend (who was first, before me) and I did our presentations, there were relatively few people but towards the middle there were a lot of PhD students and academics coming to watch. This of course faded towards the afternoon so lesson is go early or late, not middle (not that we get to choose).
Ugh... In any case as usual there were many regrets. SO many things I forgot to say and SO many slip ups. I hate presentations... I want to headdesk so bad every time I think about it. I think it's going to take a week (or even more) before this stops becoming cringeworthy every time I think back to it.
Also there was this part everyone thought I was cracking a joke..... Because I was saying I had to match 6000 dog names to a file that had 192000 names but there were so many typos and misspellings that name matches weren't exact so you can't do search function or anything. And I was saying there's no way you would want to do this by eye....
(In case you're wondering the answer to this is to make code to do a fuzzy match which matches names that are less than a certain string distance apart. That's what I did).
EDIT: Also since my supervisor is in Africa and couldn't make it, one of his PhD students came for my talk (and I didn't know about this beforehand) and I'm mortified cause she reported back to him on how it went. Supervisor said she thought I handled the questions well but I will never stop cringing about the whole thing.
In other news, I have no less than 20 mosquito bites on my feet from Sunday. This is not an exaggeration by any means. There's also one on the sole of my foot... And unfortunately I've scratched the bites so bad during sleep that it's no longer "raised red skin" but it's actually open and like mini-scabs... And since my feet are kind of swollen, walking to uni and any form of shoes really causes both itching and pain. I just wore flats and I was limping because the edge of it dug into one of the worst bites T_T
