"N" Search of Ecstasy

What A Day!

Wednesday, April 12, 2006

Well, I was supposed to be tagging Freaky Deaky , the Motor City Hot Girl, Shawn, 2 other lucky people who shall remain nameless for now on a meme this week but it does not look like that is gonna happen yet just. As a matter of fact, I want be able to blog (post or visit others) until next week.

The reason is Nic is gonna be super busy over the next couple of days!

I got an email from my dissertation chair telling me that they are scheduling my proposal defense for Friday. Yes, this Friday. When I first saw the email I was so happy to finally be getting this over with and moving on to the next step which is analyzing my data, but then when I realized they wanted me to do it in a couple of days I almost freaked out!

Two days?!?!!? That’s not enough time for me to prepare for my defense and I can’t tell them I’m not prepared for two reasons:

I really should have known better. This is my research and I feel as though I should know it backwards and forwards and my dissertation committee is going to feel the same way I’m sure of it! I have to know it. They are going to be grilling me and asking me 50 million questions and I have to know what I'm talking about and prove that my research is valid and that it will provide information on a significant problem! Information that is publishable in a scientific journal.
I have been trying to get them to schedule my defense since January. I would email, call, etc. to ask ‘when can I defend my proposal’ and not hear from my committee members sometimes. Then I’ll hear from one and not the others and everyone must be present at this oral proposal defense. Having that said, if I ask them if we can schedule it for another time (like next week), I may not hear back from them for the rest of the month! I can’t risk it.

It want to get it over with, but WHY have I been procrastinating with my preparation? I’ve been procrastinating because I was angry. Angry that all of this was taking so long. Angry that I could not get in contact with any one to tell me when I could do my presentation and now that I finally got what I’ve been wanting for months…I’M NOT READY!

How could I be so senseless about this?

I'm so nervous/anxious about this I don't know what today. Early today, a feeling came over me like I was gonna cry or something. ~SIGH~

Wish me luck!

I just wanted to leave you with a little bit of Hollyhood Gossip and Infotainment!

Point Sister Dies of Cancer

June Pointer, the youngest of the singing Pointer Sisters known for the 1970s and 1980s hits "I'm So Excited," "Fire," and "Slow Hand," has died, her family said Wednesday. She was 52. Read more here!

'I Eat,' Says Nicole

And I say 'yeah muthafugging right! People have become increasingly concerned at what appears to be an unhealthy amount of weight loss and many in the media speculate that Richie is suffering from anorexia.

Richie explains "Am I thin? Yes, no doubt about it. But to say I'm on the verge of death is just untrue," in the latest issue of Glamour UK. "My family [gets] really upset to see these people writing lies about their child. Do they ask me about it? No, because they know that I eat."

I saw Lionel Richie on one of the entertainment news programs defending his precious Nicole earlier this week, insisting she doesn't have an eating disorder. She's fine, I can vouch for that," said Lionel. "She does exactly what her father does - when the pressure's on I don't eat and Nicole Richie is just not eating."

You can find out more hollyhood gossip like the fact that Richie likes sandwiches; plus, a reunion for Jude and Sienna? An African birth for Brangelina? A designer ditching for Lindsay and Julia? All that and more here...

WTF Is The Dude Thankin'?

That Indian filmmaker who wants Paris Hilton to play Mother Teresa in his bio-pic of the late nun hasn't given up. In fact, he says he's scheduled a meeting with the amateur porn star for later this month, to persuade her to climb into Mother Teresa's distinctive blue-and-white habit.

T. Rajeevnath -- who, surprisingly, isn't considered a nut job, but is a highly respected director in his native India -- insists that a computer-generated image shows that Paris is the spitting image of the Nobel Peace Prize winner and future Catholic saint. The fact that Mother Teresa spent her long life doing good amongst the poor of India while Hilton has spent her short life doing bad amongst the rich of Beverly Hills won't dissuade him.

I Know Yall Heard About Whitney

It's not only the press who disapprove of Whitney Houston's alleged drug use. The Boston Herald reports the disgraced singer's step-children Bobby Junior and LaPrincia -- who live in Stoughton, Massachusetts with their mother, have stopped visiting Houston and their father Bobby Brown in New Jersey. A family member tells the paper, "The kids don't really go there. They have their own things up here. Little Bobby does his football and LaPrincia has school activities. So mostly their dad comes up here to visit them." The source continues, "The kids have been given the right to make their own decision about going down there. They were there for Thanksgiving and that's it. They don't want to be involved in any of this stuff." Last week, the National Enquirer ran a story that claimed Houston was living in a high-end crack house, but you know how the Enquirer gets down, LOL.
