Conclusion.

This blog was a good addition to this course. I actually enjoyed doing these journals and it made me want to join a blogging website called Tumblr. I enjoyed answering the questions that related to my life and it was kind of a place for me to speak out my feelings and vent out on certain issues. I feel that i addressed the objectives of each entry well. I put a lot of thought into this blog and I'm glad that this blog was part of the course.

Apprehensions on Oral Presentation

I don't really have any big apprehensions about my oral presentation. I'm just nervous about forgetting about what to say or repeating and slurring my words. I'm also worried about whether or not the presentation will be enjoyable to the audience. I don't really have any ways on getting over my fear of public speaking. I usually just try not to think about it and pretend that no one is there. I wing the presentation and i manage to do well. I also just look at the teacher most of the time when I'm doing my oral presentation and try to make a bit of eye contact with the audience.

Presentations

I don't really feel differently about public speaking. I get nervous everytime I have to do one but it is what it is. Usually I just wing it and I seem to do fine. It would be nice to take lessons on public speaking. I would like to become better at it and it's a good thing to be good at. Out of all the presentations I would have to say that the student who did the diet comparisons was the most enjoyable. He spoke very well and keep me interested throughout the whole presentation. 

Classifying books

My system for classifying books in a book store would go a little something like this. The section would be titled "Words" instead of attention span and the subsections would be, none, too little, a good amount, too much, and don't even bother. The "none" section would include picture books, specifically art books and things for artists. "Too little" would most likely be the kids section which would include short stories and all other short books that kids like to read. The "Good amount" section would basically be my kind of section and it would include a lot of books that are less than 400 -500  pages like A Series of Unfortunate events, or Great Gatsby, or Catcher in the Rye. The "Too much" would include the Harry 'Potter series, Lord of the Rings, and those Narnia Books. I'm not really into that whole mythical thing. "Don't even bother," would include all those extremely long books that no one would ever be able to get through. I read through some of War and Peace but it was just too long for me. I didn't have the patience to finish a 1000 something page book.
