Merry christmas you filthy animal. And a happy new year.


I feel so lethargic these days. I think everything is just going so slowly because it is about to be Christmas break. There’s a lot happening right now and many things that need to be done, but everything still feels like I’m walking through molasses.


I need to land an interview with one of the SMU or UNT professors who specialize in material science or the ones who specialize in biochemistry. Both will be very useful interviews to learn more about space suits and the materials and nutrition necessary for long space travel.


Last week, we analyzed our research presentations by watching a recording of them and critiquing ourselves. Going forward, I need to work on my body language. I need to make sure I speak very clearly and not get tripped up on my words or seem out of breath. Also, I could rearrange the organization of my speech to make the introduction more interesting and captivate the audience more. I still use filler words and that is a big thing that I need to work on. I plan on running through my presentation as many times as I possibly can before it all comes like second nature, just to make sure I can focus on my body language and energy when I actually deliver the speech. The research showcase is a little ways away and I want to be 100% prepared to deliver the best presentation I am capable of.
