Jan. 19th, 2005 09:33 pmThis is not of the good.
I took a look at the guidelines and dress codes for WEC (Western Engineering Championships) and I think I'm in trouble. Business attire is required for both of my presentations, and it looks like we're expected to dress nicely most of the rest of the time. There's also a formal and a few nights out.
The problem is this.
I own one nice set of clothing. They're my presentation clothes, as well as my formal-type-dance clothes. The rest of the time I live in bunnyhugs and jeans.
I have a pair of black, pinstriped pants, and my choice of the softest,fuzziest yellow crocheted sweater in the world or a black shirt with shiny sleeves.
I don't think that this even counts as business attire.
And I don't still have to get together both of my presentations. Really.
-- Shut up.

Date: 2005-01-22 05:44 pm (UTC)I have to get the presentations/reports done/started, and fluids, properties of materials, geography, several HARD labs, get excused from the labs and classes I'm going to miss, find clothes that don't make me look like an ugly cow (that's my family's current thing. I'm an ugly cow) and I haven't been sleeping more than three or four hours a night for the last few weeks and I think I'm going insane.
I'm bitchy right now, and I hate that. I hate it when I am, but I'm just freaking out, and I hate feeling like such a homely, stupid child.
Okay. Better now. ::Eyetwitch::

Date: 2005-01-22 05:54 pm (UTC)I'm probably going to have to take an afternoon off at somepoint to work on all my solid mechanics homework as well. I'm spending 8 hours tomorrow in a group with 2 of my other delegates to work on hydraulics (a tutorial, lab, and assignment).
Luckily for me, my stuff is all impromptu. It makes me happy. I'm sure you'll do fine with the presentation. Just get a good night sleep on Tuesday night, and you'll be good for the rest of the week. ;)

Date: 2005-01-22 07:47 pm (UTC)My main problem is that as far as I project, if I work straight through until Wednesday (when I'm not in class, I have this thing where I go to all my classes, and I tend to have labs all afternoon) I should be just done the reports and powerpoint presentation. So, that'll be done, but I'll be on zero sleep and having nothing to wear to not make me look like a tool, as well as not having my labs and homework done.
As an aside, you remember what I look like enough that you'll recognize me when you see me? Yay for inter-university engineering championships!
Also, don't worry about catching my presentation. I know that anyone is coming to see.
Have you seen a presenation before? What should I expect?
