I spent all day creating a write-up and powerpoint for a presentation I’ll be doing tonight in class.  The subject is “Cyber-bullying.”  As per usual, I have way too much information; I’ll need to pare it down a bit.  This is good because I can then concentrate on the essentials and throw away the rest.  In the afternoon when I started rehearsing my presentation, I kept getting 23 minutes… which is bad.  Anything over 20 minutes is a major deduction.  Just before going to school, I cut two slides that are good information, but not essential.  I was “guessing” that I had been speaking on these two slides for around four minutes.  When I did the presentation in the evening, I did it in 18 minutes.  Yeah!  I think that I hit 18 minutes largely due to speaking fast, which might get me docked a bit on the presentation score.  I’ve done better, but hey, I got through the evening, and I had more than one person come up to me after class and tell me that they enjoyed the presentation very much and that it was information they could use.  Yeah again! – mission accomplished; I hope I get a good grade (I got a perfect score on the write-up – a good start!  I’ll have to wait until Monday for the presentation score.).
