STRESSED....

I've been working so hard lately and have been so stressed. During the last 2 weeks, I've done more experiments per time (so scientific) than I have ever done and wrote up my poster presentation as well as submitted two more abstracts for future conferences. I've been working in the lab during the day and staying up till midnight at home to write everything up. I literally finished doing the experiment for the poster the night before I sent the poster for printing. SO last minute!!! But then again, I'm generally quite lazy, there is nothing like deadlines to push me to do work. I was constantly stressed and worry so much, that I checked to see if I have any white hair...

I received an email from AACR a few days ago saying that my submitted abstract and thus poster is selected as been highly rated. It's in the top 2.5% and will be highlighted in the online proceedings and itinerary planner. As well, I'm supposed to pick up a rosette and put it next to my poster :D When I received it, I thought they sent it to the wrong person. I didn't think my abstract was that spectacular. So if I was stressed 100%, after seeing this, it was up to 110% cos at that point, I didn't even have all the data! Now I'm all good, and looking forward to my presentation. I'm debating on whether I should tie my hair up or just let it down - such are the things I think about :)
