soon i'm gonna be a jedi
Sometimes you get all psyched up to do a presentation, and then you run out of class time before you can even get set up. *facepalm*
The professor said I could go ahead and do the presentation on Monday, which is good. I said I was sorry if it put the lesson plan out of whack. Except I'm not sorry, dammit. I spent a lot of time on this project, even if you can't call it "work," exactly. And I'm not about to throw all that out because the other presenters' "five-minute" film clips were actually ten minutes. Each. Am I the only one who used the project as an excuse to review all the movies with the goal of picking the best five minutes to show? (It was tough, but I decided not to go with Padme and Anakin's "I love you more"/"No, I love YOU more" discussion. "I am your father" for the WIN!)
Which is not to say that the other presentations were not good, because they were. Somehow I get the idea that neither of the others go home and read fanfiction, but I totally support the Potter presenter for drawing on a lightning "scar." Even if she did wipe it off when she left. ;)
Also, I understand if you have not read The Silmarillion. I know it's like reading the Bible in a lot of ways (Except there are elves! Elves fighting evil! How can you pass that up?), and it's not for everyone.
But for the love of Eru, if you're giving a presentation you should at least be able to pronounce the title. Ahem.
God, how geeky is it for me to be nitpicking other people's geeky presentations? I am a crochety old fangirl.
And damn it, I'm going to have to go through the pre-public-speaking shakiness again. Crap.
