Presentation Time
I love developing presentations, especially at the last minute. 
I’m a percolative thinker—I’ll think about a problem for a long time, trying on different ideas for size, and when the deadline draws near, I execute a plan. It’s not for everyone, but it works for me.
The presentation I’ve put together could be seen as callous and brutish, but I think that it tells the truth. [I mean, when you're discussing motivations of students in student government, I think you have to bring up the fact that some people are there in small or large part to pad their resume.]
It’s also fun for me to do a presentation because I have a tendency to spend 90 seconds per slide where others spend 60. I counteract this by putting more data on a slide, which tends to make me quicken my pace a little.
Okay, time to finish my quick break and get back to the second half of this presentation …
How did it end up going?
Are they still as apathetic as ever?

June 28th, 2005 at 17:06It wen’t pretty well, best as I can tell. I exceeded the SGA President’s expectations as to what the presentation would be, and so I consider that to be a win. [After all, he and I had talked about it already.]
As for their apathy … I got some good questions and think that there’s a good core there. I’m hoping to teach them apathy coping strategies. [I will leave it as an exercise for the interested student in how that really is the blind leading the blind.]

As I just noted on [rocksmyfaceoff.info]—where you can always check to see if I know the site’s down, rather than sending me an email, IM, or calling me on the phone —I’m going to hold off on the backup-reload-restore process …
