Presentation

So, for those of you who don't know, this blog was an English project I had to do as an end-of-year project, that I also had to present to the class. Presentations are horrible. Unless you are one of those magical people who can stand up in front of people no problem, presentations are your worst nightmare. But why? I personally think it's because you are showing a little part of yourself to the class/ group of people you're presenting to, and they can think or say whatever about it. And people are afraid of judgement. Even those people that pretend they don't give a crap about one anyone else says, everyone gives a crap. So when you present people could think that your topic is stupid, the way you talked was stupid, was you said was wrong, or that you should just shut up and stick to writing blogs. But, some people might actually connect to what you were saying and it will basically be the story of their life. So today, I presented this blog to the class. And I feel like 95% of the people didn't really give a crap, but I felt like a couple people actually cared what I had to say. So I guess my  point is that even if putting yourself out there makes you feel uncomfortable or sometimes even a little nauseous, that it could make a difference to someone. (Also, keep in mind that next time you are sitting there clipping your nails during the middle of someone's presentation, they CAN see you.)

Also some really awesome photographs:

For my birthday my friend took me to the MOPA (Museum of Photographic Arts) because I'm officially in LOVE with that place. And these were a few of my favorite photos from one of the exhibits. (For those of you who can't see, for "Flies In the Window" a.k.a. photo numero 2 outside of the window are cows.) I really like "Flies In the Window" because I think that Alen MacWeeney is using the dead flies as symbolism for the cows that are about to be slaughtered, that, or he just really likes cows and dead flies.
