Wow, I can't believe finals start tomorrow. That means winter break is next week! Yay!
That also means college apps are due in two weeks. Not yay.
Well, anywho, in thesis today, I started preparing for my presentation. I created a PowerPoint presentation that I plan to use; it has about 7-8 slides right now. I also created a (very rough) outline of my actual presentation and planned out the basic structure of what I wanted to say.
Tomorrow I plan to figure out how I want to say, and then over winter break I plan on practicing/rehearsing my presentation several times. Hopefully I can get it to be 8 minutes; I don't know if I have enough to talk about, so I might do more research on the Spring Carnival (though, to be fair, I did find some information and a lot of pictures from the 2012 Spring Carnival) and maybe mention a few other fundraising events of the like. On the other hand, though, I think transitioning between my different visuals and other technology things will help make it longer. I'm fairly confident I'll be able to meet that 8 minute minimum requirement.
In other (read: college) news, I got my Yale decision today. I was deferred, which honestly I expected. I'm not upset at all, though, because I know I tried my best and I still do have a chance in the regular round. And even then, if they reject me in April, I'll be fine with it because I have quite a few other schools that I love just as much and would be just as happy to attend. So no disappointment on my part! Especially since I have UT in the bag already, I'm not too worried. Now it's just time to get the rest of my RD apps done and submitted in time. After that, I'll have time to concentrate on schoolwork a lot more (which I'm actually looking forward to).
