The presentation...well...I think it's pretty bad. Having no rehearsals really doesn't help. And I got a pretty boring topic, I think. Felt like the past two days have been wasted. At least they laughed when I mentioned "shady calculations"...

A lightbulb moment during today's morning washroom session revealed my enormous stupidity. Yes, a problem in a paper is finally resolved, but I raised that problem to start with, didn't realize that the problem has such a simple solution. If only I had paid slightly more attention...

I need a life change, but I've always said that, and never did.
