Wish Me Luck!

I might be jinxing myself by telling you all - but my Qualifying Exams are tomorrow.

I am so nervous its impossible to describe. I'm studying like mad and I feel pretty defeated already, so I'm hoping for some positive vibes from the PoP readers!!! Give me some good joojoo please - I need it.

What polish will I be wearing? OPI DS Glow:




I'm wearing a black jersey dress and a chunky vintage turquoise and brass/gold necklace from an amazing designer Krista (shop her etsy shop here) that I absolutely adore and think the combo is good - not too girly/flirty, but still a little brightness to cut all the black I'll be wearing. (The glasses I always wear for presentations are black - it ups my IQ - seriously. So does pulling my hair back. I'm blonde, female and I have boobs. I need all the help I can get in the 'take-me-seriously-I'm-a-scientist' realm. Don't judge.)



At least I have the outfit down?

*sigh* Back to furious and desperate studying/practicing/freaking out.

    You will do great! It is natural to freak out! Love love love that necklace!!! When you get a chance check out the new Revlon Grey Suede... it's NOT grey and it makes me think of you!

    good luck on your quaaals! :D You should haul afterwards or something, to reward yourself. Not that I'm trying to endorse this behavior, or anything...

    I only discovered your blog last month, and I love it. I wish it had been around when I was in grad school! Your nails look marvelous, and I love the jewelry. Best wishes on your qualifying exams. I'm sending good vibes your way!

    Good luck! You should definitely do a haul after it's over. A haul and a nap are both mandatory after quals!

    You'll look fabulous no matter what. I wore sweats to my comps (it was just a paper exam - no orals, thank goodness!)

    I totally get the "wear glasses, tie back hair, hide boobs" thing! I'm a Pharm.D. and everyone thinks I'm the department secretary because I'm a busty blonde in a pink cardigan. Good luck!

    Good luck. (And the only ones that need judging are the Neanderthals that can't see past the blond/boobs to appreciate your intelligence).
