Presentation

[abka]

So my big Winslow Homer paper presentation is in just over an hour. I'm getting nervous and trying decide between continuing to mess with/perfect my paper or just leaving it alone. I spent 4 hours yesterday getting all my digital images together and isolating details and stuff (so much better than slides) so I don't want to screw up the pictures. The more images I have the less they'll look at me. Programs like powerpoint don't have high enough resolution for art history presentations so the class is beta-testing this imaging program and sometimes it doesn't like to save (which causes much much stress). Also it can be really slow since we're accessing the database in NY somewhere and can't download. I hope it's quick today because I have 97 images and there are three other people presenting, class is offically 2:30-5, but I"m sure we'll go late, but I have a French quiz at 5:30pm and I think I'm going last (we're going chronologically). I just want it to be over.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine!

i have fullest confidence that you will knock their socks off and blow them away so devastatingly that they will not know what happened. The shock will be such that they will not even remember the presentation itself other than as a burst of fiery wisdom to fiercesome to behold, and will find that they have fully internalized all of your brilliant insight without knowing how it got there. Indeed, the effect of your brilliance upon them shall be such that should they even consider giving you less than an A, they will be set upon by horrendous, pulsing headaches which they can only alleviate by giving you an A+.

That was beautiful, Dan. And so true.

I'm sure you'll do fine. Just mention something about multiracial breast-haystacks and flying penises and I'm sure your prof. will give you an A.

I'm sorry. I completely forgot everything that was said up until Coffman mentioned breasts.

I don't know if this is a good or bad strategy for a class presentation.
