THLOG #9 #9 #9 #9 or is it 10?

This week was incredibly short. I came home on Tuesday after my Earth 10: Antarctica class, so really, it felt like Monday was my only day of instruction. Monday was, however, packed with a TON of material. I don't exactly mean to make my Thlogs sound like journals, but they always seem to end up sounding that way. I feel like they wouldn't be as interesting if I didn't go over what happened a little bit in detail. Monday felt super busy. My group was a little over the place last week, and we all had super different schedules so we didn't end up meeting a second time until Monday morning, where we went over our presentation one last time and added the finishing touches. I feel like we ended up doing a pretty good job even though we didn't use as much humor as the other group. I was extremely nervous when we were practicing and I was still nervous as we were going up, but I feel that I did pretty well considering how terrible I am at public speaking. At least I didn't cry--I've done that before (multiple times, unfortunately).  I'm getting better at it so presenting wasn't as awful as I thought it would be. I have a tendency to forget what I am going to say so thankfully I made a flashcard ahead of time (whew). The other groups' presentations were pretty engaging as well, which, as most of us know isn't usually the case. I personally really liked the first group. It was super engaging and that "joke" activity they started us off with both confused me and got my attention. The video they used was pretty funny, especially because I really don't like Donald Trump. The skit was also pretty cool, especially because that one guy did a pretty good impression of an old lady. Sorry for forgetting your name, friend. Altogether, Monday went pretty smoothly despite the stressful days leading up to it.
