I actually started my presentation today, though I started late; I had about two hours of (paying) chip work to do first. As per usual, until I’m right up at the deadline, I really have no motivation to get this thing done. Yes, I’m definitely prone to procrastination, but I also perform better under pressure and right now, the pressure is off. Instead of blazing through the presentation, I spent the afternoon watching video lectures on Northern Renaissance, looking for additional ideas and insights. Alas, the lecturer was both boring and also didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know. I guess I’ll make due with what I’ve amassed so far.
