***SIGH***

Maybe it is my age, but if you are giving a group presentation-which means standing up in front of the class and lecturing on your research, how do you present yourself?
Well, let me just tell you that i wish I could have taken pictures! T-shirts, shorts and flip flops were the norm and most appropriate of what I witnessed. I had a hard time not snorting to stifle my laughter when one poor thing stood there in her hoodie, bad eyeliner, baggy nylon gym shorts that she had rolled the waist down on for some reason and mid-calf fake UGGS. Oh my goodness, I so wanted to put a full length mirror in front of her!
Also, how do you not just out loud say, "oh you poor thing" to another who was lecturing on The Papyrus Egerton as she informs us that "it was named for the guy who discovered it who was either Papyrus or Egerton." Again, I almost snorted.
yes, being a non-trad has some very humorous moments.
More later.
