Nervous as hell...

Good Luck! I'm sure you'll do great, show them that uber snake keeper confidence :D

Knock'em Dead :gj:

Good luck Josh, Im sure your alma mater more than prepared you for this day :gj:

You'll be fine! My, well, boyfriend I guess I can call him is currently stressing about school too. I feel like I am worthless with this sort of stuff as I have never been in the same position, but I can only say that if you keep you mind away from "OMG MY FUTURE!" and face it head on knowing that you are more than preparred for this test, you will be fine.

Chin up, head held high, deep breaths ... picture the audience naked. All that should help!

GOOD LUCK. ITS YOURS FOR THE TAKING! LISTEN I DONT KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIP HOP BUT THIS SONG HELPS ME WHEN THE PRESSURE IS ON.


Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Verse 1

Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There is vomit on his sweater already
Moms forgettin' he's nervous
But on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drops bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth but the words won't come out
He's choking, how? Everybody's jokin' now
The clock's run out, time's up, over BLOW!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad
But he won't give up that easy, no he won't have it
He knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that
But he's broke, he's so sad that he knows
When he goes back to this mobile home
That's when it's back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody, better go capture this moment
And hope it don't collapse on him

You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go, oh
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment you own it you better never let it go, oh
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better

Verse 2

Soul's escapin' through this hole's that is gaping
This world is mines for the taking
Make me king as we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring
But superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows us all over, these O is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter
Lonely roads got him
He knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold ya nose cuz here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold prada
They moved on to the next shmo who flows
Who nose dove and sold nada
And so the so proper
His toll, it unfolds and I suppose it's old, partner
But the beat goes on
Duh duh doe, duh doe, dah dah dah dah

Verse 3

No more games, I'ma change for due called rage
Tear this ....roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped writin' the next cipher
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to five
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz, man, these :..... food stamps don't buy diapers
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Pfifer
This is my life and these times are so hard
And it's gettin' even harder tryin' to feed and water
My seed plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a father and a pre-madonna
Baby momma drama, screamin' on her
Too much for me to wanna stay in one spot
Another damn or not has gotten me to the point
I'm like a snail, I've got to formulate a plot
Or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mutha....in' option, failure's not
Momma love you but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
So here I go, it's my shot
Feet fail me not
Cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

Duh doo
You can do anything you set your mind to, man :gj:

My fault!!!!!!!!!!!11 did not know it was cursing in lyrics.

Well...the time came and it has passed and I survived. :)

Presentation went well. Got some positive feedback. Glad to be done.

Thanks for all the support from everyone.

Glad to hear that! So did you get what you wanted?

What was your thesis on?

Time to move now?

At least you know that you have possibly overcome the most nerve-racking thing you will ever have to do in your school life, and possibly your entire life. Way to go!

And yes, what was your thesis about?
