Finally, after months of intensive preparation, feeling lost and uncertainty...the time finally arrives. The conference will start in 2 days time. What do a graduate student feels at this time?
1. Will his/her idea be accepted?
2. Has the analysis been scrutinized from various angles?
3. What kind of feedback will he/she get?
4. Will I survive the longest 15 minutes?
5. Will I puke during presentation? ( or mumble my words out or faint!)
Like my friend, Zarina said, just don't pee in your pants :)
But most importantly, what all graduate students should know..
1. To not forget to enjoy the trip (hey! This marks your entry to the academic world)
2. I'm still learning....duhhh
3. I will not die from harsh comments.
