Life, Rejections, and What everyone should do to books they plan to resale...
Life: I presented at the LDS Film Festival on Saturday. After my short presentation (and two other people's presentations) was an hour and a half discussion about the festival with the audience. It went really well until the moderator changed the topic, which disappointed the audience (because it wasn't what they had come to hear) and annoyed me, because I hadn't prepared to say wise and/or witty things about the second topic that was brought up. So, the first half, about how the films at the LDS Film festival reflect Mormon identity, went really well. The second half...well, I vow to not be like the moderator and get so stuck in whatever I'm currently working on that it becomes THE most important thing in the world, despite what everyone else thinks.
Rejections..... are not fun. I am not going to Pennsylvania for a rhetoric society of america thing, and I am not going to Arizona to present my amazing paper on the Wizard of Oz and how that relates to an American construction of Eden.
But on a more positive note, here is a lesson titled, "What everyone should do to books they plan to resale":
1. Draw fun pictures.
2. Add fun labels.
3. Have a sense of humor.
Discovering these pictures in my textbook (Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women) has made my week. Officially.
