Blog No. 11
During my presentation, I was so nervous that I would forget my speech and ruin my entire presentation. When I had to say my speech for the first time I didn't follow my note cards or say anything I wanted to. I ended up talking to her as if I was just having a normal conversation with. I was pretty upset that I didn't follow my speech as planned, but I was glad that I was able to just talk naturally and not be nervous. I enjoyed the presentation, and I'm glad we did this.
20% Time Speech
When we were first introduced to this
project, I was so confused on what I was going to do. I thought that whatever I
did had to be beneficial to my future and I also had to be able to enjoy it.
Within the first month of this project I realized I was wrong. My first idea on
this project was to memorize all the bones in the human body. I chose this because
I want to be a doctor and thought that I should start preparing right now. In
my opinion starting this early is not a bad idea; the fact that I didn’t enjoy
doing this was the reason why I stopped.
After I realized I did not like my
first plan, I came up with a new one. That plan was to do posts about food. I
know you are probably thinking “how did you go from bones and the human body to
food”, well it’s because I really like food. I originally planned to cook and
post each thing I cooked or baked on my blog, share my own recipes, and share
recipes I find and want to try. This plan was not a complete fail because I did
share a chicken recipe that was my own, and I also did shared a lot of recipes
from YouTube, pinterest, and tumblr. I guess the reason why I see this idea as
a fail was because I said I would post a cooking/baking blogs but I didn’t. I
kept promising to myself that I would cook anything that I wanted, but I wasn’t
able to keep that promise.
Even though I had trouble with
trying to understand the whole point of this project, I think I have finally
came up with the right answer (even though there is no wrong or right answer).
This project was made so that I can learn more about myself and surprisingly I
did. I have learned that I am very lazy. I know, I know that is not the nicest
thing to say about myself, but I am normally a very pessimistic person. Plus, I
think if I knew the truth about myself then I would be able to know how to fix
the flaws I dislike about myself.
Why I think I’m lazy is very
obvious…is it not? Well if it isn’t, let me tell you why. When I trashed my
first idea for this 20% time project, it was because I didn’t enjoy it and I
was pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to accomplish it since I didn’t really have
any motivations to keep me going. Another thing that screams out “you’re lazy”
is that I had a lot of time on my hands to be able to cook/bake at least one
thing, but I didn’t. I am pretty disappointed that I didn’t really have a goal
to accomplish, but I guess learning more about myself is accomplishing
something, right? But on the bright side, I did enjoy this project! I mean…come
on... who wouldn’t like looking at food for an hour and twenty minutes, because
I know I wouldn’t.

Blog No. 10
This presentation is making me really really stressed...why? Because I have so much question on my mind, and the only person who can answer them is me...yeah these are some of my questions:
- How am I supposed to right my speech?
- What is my speech supposed to be about?
- How am I going to present this when I have really big stage fright?
- What is my board supposed to look like?
- WHAT AM I GOING TO DO FOR THIS PRESNETATION?
