One Down
Five to go. In order to combat this awful feeling I have (cold, clammy hands, shaking, gagging, feeling like there are bugs all over me), I've composed this Cheer up! playlist.
1. Big Tymers - Still Fly (Dirty) (5:36)
2. DMX - Party Up (4:30)
3. vanessa carlton - thousand miles (interlude), a (3:56)
4. Talking Heads - Wild Wild Life (3:39)
5. Various Artists - Walking on Sunshine - Katrina And The Waves (4:00)
6. Escape Club - Wild wild west.mp3 (5:43)
7. Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - Joy and Pain (3:46)
8. Beach Boys - Good Vibrations (3:37)
9. Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize.mp3
10. Erasure - Take A Chance On Me (3:45)
11. Sheena Easton/Prince - You Got The Look (3:45)
12. Dire Straits - Walk Of Life (3:08)
13. Eve And Gwen Stefani - Let Me Blow Your Mind (3:49)
14. Fishbone - Party at Ground Zero (6:28)
15. ZZ Top - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide (4:46)
16. Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Dogs and Chaplains (3:02)
17. Men Without Hats - Safety Dance (2:45)
18. Ramones - 2. 53rd and 3rd (2:16)
19. Kool And The Gang - Fresh (4:27)
20. Go Go's - Head Over Heels (3:36)
21. Kool and The Gang - Celebration (4:59)
Terribly major-label for the most part, I realize, but it's chicken soup for the ears.
Edited to add: Don't even think about giving me static for including "A Thousand Miles" on the list. I love that song, and it's especially good for twirling around until you get a good dizzy feeling -- kind of like "I Wanna Be Sedated."

Men Without Hats! :D I loved them to a highly annoying degree when I was growing up. Awesome.
You listen to whatever you damn well please. You've earned it. Relax and regroup for the rest of those prelims whose asses you will so heartily kick. :)

While I'm at it...
Quizzes via Palmer:
You are a Fairy. Wait a minute, a fairy? Well you
are not a mermaid at all. But you enjoy all
things and love all. You blossom every morning
and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. There
are so many fairies, I can not count them all.
Will you rate my quiz since you enjoy all?

You have a free soul! As all the souls go, yours is
the most free-spirited and adventurous. You
like camping, hiking, or interaction with other
people. Your a social butterfly, but not
because of your style, but because of your
willingness to communicate with everyone. You
probably have close friends who can rely on you
because you always seem to know whats going on
in the world. You love music and are
free-spirited and someone fun to be around. A
born leader and great explorer-dont ever
change-the world needs more people like you.

One more:
You're Element is Light. You are friendly, happy,
social, bubbly, and can brighten up any one's
day. You are very kind and a real people person
because you have several friends (or atleast
should). You're cheery nature makes you lovable
and your stunning looks are sweet and stand
out.

Despite not being able to visually confirm you *don't* have bugs all over you (quite the predicament, and a little disconcerting, I assure you), I can't help but think that, with the first one down, you should no longer be afraid of prelims. Prelims should start being afraid of *you*.
Because you rock. What’s more, you rock to Kool and the Gang (that’s marginally better than *just* rocking).
Seriously, I’m wishing you the best of luck, and as little anxiety as possible. :)
The night is young and so am I
When I hear the lines, "We can go where we want to / The night is young and so am I," I feel so free and my heart leaps with joy. That feeling, for me, is the final cause of music.
Prelims
OK, obviously, I have no clue what prelims are, but I do understand that you're doing your doctorate. So here's my thing: in the master's program I'm in, and in many others, from my understanding, there is a compulsory teamwork component. Is that the case in a doctorate?
I struggle with it, especially in a virtual environment, although in the real world, I completely support it and understand the validity of teamwork. I've started to chronicle some of my thinking around it here: http://radio.weblogs.com/0139453/
BTW, you have some fine choices in music...Diana Krall rocks. ;)
