To do:

1) Finalise 1 hour research talk (Slides are pretty much done, but I need to practise 8 more times)

2) Proposed budget for lab equipment (to do by today to send in Monday)

3) Finalise 15 minute research talk (practise 5 times, as I won't get to actually present that anyhow.

4) Write up research of the 10 profs that I am meeting with (also 3 questions for each one) (have done 2 of these)

5) Continue annotating research proposal to answer possible questions on synthesis/ rate limiting factors etc..

6) Print off the last 50 papers that I referenced for research proposal (already have 50 printed.-Highlight relevant sections related to research proposal.

7) Buy black ankle boot that don't look like someone decided to polish them on the escalator brushy-thing.

8) Pick up suits at dry cleaners (Tuesday).

9) Maybe get eyebrows plucked, maybe not.

10) Stare at hair, which is still too blonde.

My interview is on Thursday and Friday. I fly out Wednesday. I will stay for the weekend after the interview.

I don't want to be melodramatic and say that these two days will determine the entire future of my professional career, but they definately will have a strong bearing on it. There aren't many other job opportunities in Mr Bob's town and I'm not looking anywhere else.

I'm off to practise my talk.
