I agree with others about the "no studying" the night before....too
bad, I can never follow my own advice. If your like me and can not put
it down...... spend time going through the doc cd. I got about 30min
sleep before the lab. I spent most of the night thinking about an
email I read...sitting in San Jose, 9:00 PM, the night before the lab.
It said that my company credit card had been declined and I needed to
contact them for an alternate payment... haha... added stress. I spent
all night wondering if I still had a lab seat.

This next time, I will try my best to follow my own advice....and not
study... The movie idea sounds great.
