Do you want to know how much of an utter geek I am? I pitched a proposal for my thesis and it's about...Miyazaki movies. Oh my god, I'm such a geek. I can't believe I actually thought to mention that to my advisor. She was totally excited about it though. I guess that's a good thing?

EDIT:
Gave my presentation and got really good feedback. I think my class was more excited about the idea than the younger kids. Their excitement gives me confidence.
