¡Cúbrase las vergüenzas, hombre, por Dios!
Ugh, I fucking hate writing e-mails to professors. I always feel like such a dumb ass. I am presenting my Spanish capstone paper this Tuesday, and I had to e-mail the professor I have been working with. He wants me to come in and practice my speech in front of him. I think it will be helpful to practice in front of him, but it's going to be kind of weird. I am dreading the real presentation and starting to panic. My Spanish pronunciation sucks, and I hate giving speeches/presentations. I really should have been working on my speech for awhile now, but I have been putting it off because I just don't want to think about. I was talking to another Spanish professor today, and she was telling me that since I have 15 minutes to present, I should plan on having 6 pages typed out for the speech. My paper is 19 pages long (longest Spanish paper I have ever written), so yeah, I am not sure how I am going to do that. I try to calm down by reminding myself that after May 13, I will probably never see ANY of these people again in my lifetime. Who cares if I make an ass out of myself? Well, I do, but I shouldn't.
Speaking of presentations, I got my group presentation over with for my Media Programming class. For this project, we had the options of creating a new TV show or creating a new network. My group decided to create a new TV show. It was overly dramatic and a little outrageous, but we found it hilarious. We probably spent way too much time working on, but it was pretty fun. Here are some of the highlights:
-a pregnant, teenage lesbian
-lesbian mothers
-a virgin named Virginia
-the token black guy - his initials were TB (get it?)
-a slutty, coke-head cheerleader
-a teacher having an affair with the foreign exchange student
-AND (best of all) a little person principal named Mr. Towers
One plotline involved the principal running over the pregnant lesbian, who then loses her baby. Basically, it is a totally awesome show, but we were not sure how everyone else would react to it. We had to "pitch" our show twice to two different "networks." The networks were people in our class and some older people who had real experience with programming. There were four groups in total that presented television shows. Then the networks had to decide which show they wanted to buy. We did not think that our pitches went very well, especially the first one, but lo and behold, our show fucking won. Both of the "networks" liked our show because it had a band, and they thought they could do a lot with that. The band was like the least interesting part, but whatever. We were so excited that we "won." I still cannot believe it. We better get an A.
I also have another group presentation on Friday about complementary and alternative medicine. There is only one person in this group that I like and everyone else has been pissing me off (pretentious fucks). I just want to get it over with. I want to get everything over with. May 13 cannot come fast enough!
