OK, here's the short version: my presentation went surprisingly well, but I got bad news about someone I know.

My presentation was perfect in every aspect. Somehow I even managed to avoid the usual mistakes when speaking English for the first time in months...

I even got complimented by my professor.. very rare, he usually is very strict and critical (though always fair!).

This obviously has ended my depression, even though I still feel kind of "drained"...

Unfortunately, my professor had bad news about some ex-colleague who had a horrible accident. :-(

I may have to visit him maybe...
