I haven't updated in awhile. *guilt*

It's finals week. Blah blah blah, cram cram cram. Really not worried or stressed, just busy. I am a little perplexed over my persuasive speech which is due on Tuesday and counts both as a speech and as a final (actual finals were cancelled due to Hurricane Wilma). I don't know what I'm going to do it on. No religion, no politics, per the professor's instructions. What else is there to persuade about? As said in Fiddler on the Roof, everything's political.

Meh, I'm just worried because I don't have strong opinions about many things that are not Absolutely Trivial. I did way better than expected on my first speech, though, so I guess I'll get by. And hey, after Tuesday, it's over. *g*

In other news, I seem to be losing weight. I pigged out yesterday and am still 2 pounds lighter than I was last week. I guess working retail really works for my metabolism. Is okay with me, since surgery seems to be a no-go at this point. Only way to get it done, it seems, is to raise $30K by ourselves.

Guess it's time to get these braces off.

Does your prof/teacher have a sense of humor? I took a Public Speaking course in HS (on the grounds that I knew I was going to be one of the top 3 in the class & therefore would have to make a graduation speech -blech) and the day that we got assigned "impromptu" speeches on the topic of our choice (he did give us one minute to think before he started picking people to speak), I gave my speech on "why no one should have to give an impromptu speech." Mr. Tornrose called me a cheeky smart-alec, but I got an A for the assignment.

However, I wouldn't recommend the devil's advocate approach unless you're absolutely, no-doubt-about-it sure that your professor will chuckle instead of being offended.

Of course, there's always "Why Calvin & Hobbes is the I-Ching of the 1980s Generation"...

Heh. We got out of impromptu speeches because of the hurricane. We were supposed to do 4 or 5 speeches; we're totalling three.
