Whew!

Well the presentation is done. It wasn't so terrible. I didn't pass out or vomit so I guess thats a good thing! I had candy for everyone which I am sure made it much more bearable to listen to me drone on about someone who is really not that interesting! Now I can concetrate on more important things, like two papers that have to be done. One of them before July 31 so I can enjoy the long weekend with friends camping on the beach! Pray for me that I don't let procrastination run my life for the next week, I must get that paper done. These are the last two papers of my academic career...crazy! I never thought I would get here..but I am here and its super fanatastic!!

EEK!

I have a presentation to do tomorrow in class. I am scared!!! I don't like talking in front of people. I have no problem talking in a social setting, or informally, but the minute you make me stand up in front of everyone while they all stare at me....its not a pretty sight. Hives, nervousness, vomiting..its all part of the act! Wish me luck!

Blake, Woodsworth, Keats, Oh my!

I am currently enrolled in an English class entitled the Romantic Period. At first I thought this sounded a little interesting, to my surprise it is dreadfully boring! This class runs Monday-Thursday for two hours every morning. I am not sure what is more challenging, the reading for the class or having to stay awake to talk about it. While some of the poetry is interesting and makes a lot of sense, there is only so much you can say about one poem, yet my prof finds a million ways to discuss the same poem. It's boring. If I ever have to hear about William Blake and his philosphical and revolutionary ways I may poke something through my eye, seriously! Thankfully we have finished Blake and are now onto Woodsworth who I am sure will be just as riveting!! I cannot wait for tomorrow's class!!
