My presentation went well. Everybody said I did a good job even though I felt as if it was going horribly while I was giving the talk.... it was so weird actually having to present in front of all my friends since it was basically the first time they'd ever heard me give a presentation... it was a bit surreal. At one point I looked at Joe, who was staring at me in this creepy way (like Witek for those who know him), which of course made me laugh and not want to turn to the audience at all. Of course, Joe was staring at me like that to get me to talk more to the audience, but of course, it had the opposite effect. I suppose we need to work on our nonverbal communication skills ;)
I also received awesome gifts from my colleagues and friends. I got a travel book from a friend of mine, and then my friends at EPFL and my colleagues at work chipped-in and got me my very own climbing rope!! I can't wait to try it out, though carrying it myself may prove difficult. I also got two beautiful bunches of flowers! Aren't they pretty! (Yes they're in the same vase because I don't own 2!)
-mixed flower bouquet from Jen & Adrian and I don't know who else
-lillies from Ulrike, Marzia and I think Jeff....
Anyway, the last week and half have been insane. Joe's parents came to visit us and to attend Joe's public defense. We did the sites of Switzerland for a couple days, then were off to Paris and Krakow and then back to Lausanne for Joe thesis defense, all in 4 days! I'm still in the process of posting pictures of everything on flickr.... just follow the link to all pictures in a previous post, and once i'm done posting the pictures, i'll post more specific links.
