The first lecture panel...it went OK. Of course there were typos--The Karamazov Brothers instead of The Brothers Karamazov, for example, which killed me. The first lecture was boring, the second emotional, the third just a tad too long, the fourth riddled with bad words, which no one told me were not OK. So still good that I dressed well for the all-eyes-on-me moments. I'm glad, though, that it's over, and nervous about the next one, as the expectations are now higher.
Silly me. I thought I was here to write!
