Honestly, I’m exhausted as of late… which is partially due to the truth that certainly one of my courses requires much more “watching” than anticipated, which means that as an alternative of flying via literature or marking and summarising vital sections, I’ll have to observe BBC documentaries on UK historical past as homework…

And that in itself is okay in all probability. I don’t actually thoughts the matters, the way in which it’s introduced, and the truth that that is “homework”… however it’s an actual timesink, particularly when you possibly can’t improve the velocity much more.

So, whereas one different class I’m taking takes an hour or two on that particular day of learning and preparation, my Cultural Studies Class takes extra as a result of there’s plenty of literature and some movies to observe, every of which is considerably prolonged. Again, can’t breeze via these and I’d a lot desire a textual content to learn via or perhaps a transcript of the documentary. It’s one thing I mainly must do on the weekend… however I kinda want the weekend to check for different courses as properly, so relying on the size, it will get annoying.

And properly, I additionally now have to organize a presentation on The Potato and different issues in regard to the Great Irish Famine or the Myth of the Great Irish Famine. It might be difficult since I haven’t carried out something with PowerPoint in ages. The precise speaking, nevertheless, shouldn’t be an excessive amount of of an issue.

Frankly, I’m used to speaking in entrance of individuals by now, because of my Drama expertise and the Debate Club… and I realized quite a bit whereas attempting to promote sweet and roasted almonds on the Christmas Market in my hometown… and on high of that, running a blog helps me construction content material whereas streaming helps me with speaking English for prolonged quantities of time.

I received’t be promoting something however having the ability to get a very powerful info throughout is vital, I reckon, with a purpose to make the presentation a hit. At the identical time, it’s going to solely be ten to 12 minutes lengthy (+ questions), so I received’t must maintain the power up fairly as a lot as I do on streams, which means that I can put extra emphasis on my voice work and the way in which I discuss, in all probability.

I’m type of trying ahead to this… however once more, effort and time are a wrestle. I’m not excited… however “looking forward to it” describes this sense fairly properly. I wanna attempt to problem myself somewhat with this presentation – and naturally, my grade is dependent upon it, proper?

Anyway, in the present day, I spent many of the day on the college and the library. I then ended up consuming approach too late, and had an enormous migraine and I did play some Minecraft for a change of tempo, sorta. I additionally went for a stroll which helped with the migraine… or possibly the painkillers helped, who is aware of? And now that the publish is finished, I can get to sleep, lastly. I’ll simply must pack my bag for tomorrow’s courses. Yay!
