this has been fun (this is blog 5)

So two weeks ago, we all watched each others ted talks. It was a great few days were as a class, we watched some great presentations, some good presentations, and then just presentations. I hope my own presentation fits into one of the first two categories. Unfortunately I missed Friday's presentations, which kind of sucks because 1. I heard some of the presentations were really good and 2. I spent all Friday doing data entry for a robotics competition that we ended up losing. and the best part was, we never got a chance to use the data because we didn't place high enough.

But I digress, On the topic of my own presentation, I felt like I did ok. I defiantly wasn't the best presentation but i defiantly think I wasn't one of the worst. I felt like I had good eye contact, and had good volume, but I spoke really fast. When practicing, I was finishing around at the 5:20 minute mark, so I cut a few paragraphs and got my time down to 4:40.


When actually presenting, I was really nervous and started to speak quickly. I stopped pausing after jokes, and taking pauses for emphasis, and I ended up skipping a sentence all together. According to my semi-reliable timekeeper Kalle, I got a final time of about 4:15 minutes.

I defiantly could have done better with my presentation but I'm glad I didn't do worse. I do plan on continuing my, as I put it "semi-frequent visits to the gym" over the summer. I got a job as a lifeguard at this gym like place called lifetime athletics, and I have access to the gym, so hopefully I can spend about an hour before or after my shift at the gym.

I really enjoyed working on this project. I thought it was a fun use of time, and I am happy I got the opportunity to revisit one of my interests, and continue pursuing it in the future
