Today I am giving a work in progress seminar, to give my conference talk a trial run before the real thing in front of scary academics. The talk is using material from the chapter I have (more or less) just written. I think I've done enough to not make a fool of myself, but (as usual) feel like it's a bit superficial. I'm not sure if my standards are unrealistically high (as whenever I feel like what I've written is superficial, my supervisors usually seem much more positive and impressed than I am) or if I really am blagging it as much as I feel like I am doing.
In other news, I have a parcel waiting for me at the delivery office which I will pick up later. I wonder if it's my WISE present? Speaking of which, my gift will be sent either today or Wednesday so hopefully there won't be too much longer to wait for my giftee.
