The hands down best part of my week was getting my TED speech done. I'd been stressing out about it for a while, so when I was finally up there and performing it, my stress levels plummeted. I worked pretty darn hard to tune up my speech because my paper wasn't the best it could have been. After all that preparation, I feel like I really knocked it out of the park.
I don't feel like I'm being cocky by saying my speech was well-delivered. I think it's more of a confidence thing. Cocky would be to say I'm definitely getting an A on it. I honestly don't care about my grade because I think people actually got to learn something from my speech about copyrights and why we need to change the laws. This speech and my Rilke mashup are part of my push to muscle through 4th quarter and fight off senioritis, so my success today is a long run victory.
Another part I enjoy about being done with my speech is that I can enjoy everyone else's speech so much more now because I'm done. I won't have to get stressed out or worried that mine isn't that good because I not only completed my speech, but it was a job well done.
I feel like the picture I put at the top because I am able to notice the small, yet wondrous things in the world because of my recent alleviation of stress. Huzzah!
I thought your presentation was wondrous as well. No worries, no cockiness. What caught my eye was your picture and it looked very similar to one I saw in a gallery I went to last Friday for art. The artist had a map of the world and had sarcastic, blunt, or arrogant words over countries to show the misconceptions that Americans have. For example, over the middle east region the artist wrote terrorists and over south America the artist wrote Mexicans and we all know that there are NOOO Mexicans in Latin America. I thought it was really interesting that you posted this picture cause I also enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteI sadly was not there for your presentation, but I agree with everything that you said about getting it done. Before I gave my speech I was majorly suffering from senioritis. My speech really made me focus on something and get it done. Having it done with now, I feel like I can focus and enjoy everyone else's presentations, like you said, because I'm not worrying about mine.
I also really enjoyed the picture you have because sometimes the things people say that no one else hears, are the best things. Like the simple things in everyday pictures that no one notices.
Huzzah!
