Suddenly, a shot rang out!
Actually, no.
It was just gloomy and rainy and I proofread a patent. My land line kept losing its dial tone, but my DSL never went out. I went for a walk in the rain and met the new neighbor's pit bull.
I got email from the all-powerful departmental secretary of the electrical and computer engineering department at school, requesting my presence at a meeting with the ABET accreditation people. I'm in the class of record for the brand, spanking new computer engineering program and if we don't get accredited it's totally my fault. I should probably go. The school will also give me pizza.

So don't feel too pressured. On the other hand, it's also true that the reviewers love meeting students, and odds are good that anything you say that strikes them, good or bad, will end up in their report in some form.
