Reflect on Presentation

I think my presentation went pretty well overall.  After watching some of the others before me, when I got up there I felt like I had way too much information!  I'm pretty sure I talked really fast because I wasn't sure how much time I had, and didn't want to be obnoxiously long.  Overall, though, I felt really prepared for the presentation and as if I had solid information to discuss.  I am a little over half way done with my paper.  What I have done so far, though, took FOREVER. Like, hours.  So I'm dreading starting back up to finish it.  I'm planning on going to the library at noon on Wednesday and just staying there until class at 4 to finish it.  That's how I started it.  I think that my presentation helped me to get back in focus on my paper and motivate me to finish it.  Additionally, some of the questions people asked afterwards will provide me with additional issues to address in my paper.  I think the topic of my paper is very relevant and significant to my future career and I am actually enjoying writing it...as much as you can to write a paper.  I am glad I chose to interview Mrs. Forsyth and am really happy with how incorporating and relating Sean's story to the topics of my paper is working out.  Furthermore, I think that this paper is really helping me get away from the 5 paragraph form!  Since my topic is so complex, a 5 paragraph format would not even fit it very well, but I probably would have used it anyway prior to this class.  Oh, further reflecting on my presentation, I wasn't really nervous at all and think that helped!  ....I CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH THIS PAPER. haha
