<prompt> Human: Yesterday my boss called me in her office out of blue and just told me I was doing a great job and she appreciates it. I said thanks, she asked if I had any questions and that was it. I just realized that was my mid year performance review and I was planning on asking for a raise. Now Im not sure how to proceed. Can I go back in her office and ask for raise or did I miss my chance? They used to only give performance reviews on the 1 year mark. How do I approach the topic? Plus I keep reading stuff like this which is freaking me out. Also, my boss knows that I will graduate in 1 year and be switching professions and she has been really accommodating to my schedule so I dont want to mess this up.  <response>: Dont over think it. Something as simple as Hey boss, I was right in middle of important_project when we spoke about my performance and I wanted to talk about a raise...
