Today was one heck of a stressful day. I had my Journal Article Presentation, fresh off teaching back-to-back discussion sections. And I made it through all of them distraught, half thinking about personal stuff. I can't express how difficult it is to make it through a Journal Discussion with my advisor with half my brain tied behind my back. By the time I ran, I wasn't happy really, but recognized I survived without royally screwing up. I slept about 4 hours last night and had stomach cramps. I found I didn't particularly care either.

Thankfully one of my students brought up a paper to me where he received too many points. His honesty might have temporarily restored my faith in humanity.
