June 10th PRESENTATIONS #1

Before class, some of my classmates were extremely nervous about the presentations but for me, I had this confidence that came out from no where that our group would not be chosen. butt, surprise surprise we were the ones chosen. I guess it was good that I never predicted it would be our group since it cut off a lot of time that would have been consumed on being nervous.
The first group that came up on stage was Megu, Moe, Johnny and Take. All of the members of this group had individual strong points. I really liked Take's video because that was very original and something that would surely bring the viewers' attention. Though, Joki probably stole the whole show. Apart from the fact that he probably naturally has the charisma, he was also very confident and was so sure about what he wanted to say. Most importantly though, he was passionate about his topic. I think passion is sososo important when giving a presentation because no one would want to listen to you if you didn't seem that interested in the topic.
As for me, I think I was too much in a rush. Practice is so important because it really does show in your presentation.

Now that I've handed in my essay and finished my presentation, all I'm feeling is relieved...
I can't wait to start listening to other people's presentations without having to worry if I'm going next:)

p.s.
our group consists of joki, kristi and me. Kristi was sick so couldn't give her presentation but her views on the deterioration of Koto music would have truly been intriguing.
