My defense was from 1:30pm-3:30pm. Notice how stressed I am leading up to it and then I kinda get into the groove of things during the defense presentation. And then stress levels pop again during the private questioning and right before the final decision is announced.
Also I went for a run that morning thinking it might help. It did not lol.
Let this just show that the anxiety leading up to the defense can really be the worst part of it.

Do you meditate? Its impressive how low your stress is until noon.
I would’ve been in “Overload” from the moment I woke up.
