Presentation response

So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the academic presentations. I have seen great improvement since the proposal presentations in all areas--confidence, material, eye contact, body language, enthusiasm, etc. It has been fun to see how projects have evolved from where students first thought their research would go. I also have enjoyed watching these because they offer a glimpse into the passions of the people presenting--I feel that everyone has chosen a topic that they are interested in, so through the presentations I have been able to learn a little about each. I enjoyed BJs presentation, because we are doing the same topic, so it was fun to see the differences between the two. He went about things in an entirely different way, and had interesting ways to look at the issue of file sharing. I am looking forward to the final round of presentations tomorrow; I think there are some very strong and interesting topics to still be presented.

My friend Sandra...

So I have been promising my friend Sandra that I would write about her in my blog ALL quarter--ever since she broke my heart and transferred out of eRhetoric. Now that the quarter is drawing near to a close, I figured it would be a good time. Plus, I saw her tonight at Pi Phi and she threatened to not be friends with me anymore if I didn't write about her!!! So, I just wanted to take a brief moment and talk about how AWESOME she is, she basically rocks my world. She is smart and funny and nice and beautiful, and I won't even hold it against her that she left the best PWR II in the world. :-) So, Sandra, I hope that we can still be friends...haha.
