Well, for one thing I'm glad I got it done. BUT, I know I screwed up on a number of things; went beyond the time limit, stumbled a little on one powerpoint slide, and didn't look up at the audience as much as I should've. PLUS there was a TONNE of stuff I had to present and now I know how difficult it is to fit it all in into a seeming-long yet amazingly short 10 minute time period!! My before I deleted a bunch of stuff it was a 30-minute presentation, so I had to delete half of what I had, but still ended up with a lot. Which meant that I had to do some improvising on my last few minutes. And of course I had to use my laptop to read my notes off of because I couldn't find a place that would print off my ppt slides (with the notes attached) for me in a space of 5 minutes before class started! Again, I guess me scottish ancestry came into play and I just had to find someway to improvise, to make do with what I had. I just hope I didn't bore anybody with it in my class...
Anyway, I think I'm still in shock from it all, LOL. But hey, now I can sit back and enjoy the other presentations that my colleagues are going to present in the next couple weeks.
There was one presentation in this lab today on TaeKwonDo which was totally cool. The student presenting it demonstrated various kicks in the sport as well as some other moves...and, even more awesome, she broke a 1" thick board for us. Not a plasterboard, but a board of solid wood as if just freshly cut from a tree. That was neat.
Another neat presentation was the one right after mine, and it was about Monty Roberts and his Joining Up technique with green horses. I certainly learned a few things from that.
Anyway, I guess you could say I had a good day.

You know how cold it was this morning?? -30 C with a -41 windchill!! Absolutely ridiculous for this time of year!!
On the other hand, its supposed to warm up to +5 by Saturday, so HOPEFULLY it comes and HOPEFULLY it stays!!

WRB, I'm glad your presentation went well. It is amazing how long but short 10 minutes can be!

I have a CLEAN kitchen floor!
It's even shiny!
Bruiser is body slamming the front door, wanting back in, but I think I will ignore him and enjoy my clean floor awhile!
WildRoseBeef, I'm glad you survived your presentation!

Mine needs cleaning too. It just never seems to stay clean that long as it's the floor we come in on.

To be honest, I think this is only the second time I've given it a good scrubbin since Bruiser moved in! Between him, the snow, mud, fire wood and the dirty work we all do, I know it was a big waste of time!Farmer Kitty said:Now your speaking those foreign words!thewife said:

It's down to 3F this morning with the wind blowing up to 35 miles an hour. Sounds nasty just sitting inside much less being out in it. I looked out the kitchen window when I got up this morning and the south end barn doors were wide open. 
Nothing was frozen and it wasn't to bad in the barn, thankfully!

Good morning
It's like 28 out there, waaay too cold to be outside!
Hubby is sick, the boy is at work and I don't think I have enough hay at the weaners feed bunk for a feeding. I might just have to do some real work for once, and move some bales!
