I guess I'm in at the Seattle U Undergraduate Research Association thing this Friday, because I'm on the schedule (hmm) but nobody ever e-mailed me. What sort of lunacy is this and what have I gotten myself into? So, I need to have a presentation of some sort for Friday, but I don't know how long it ought to be, if I'll have access to a computer, who will actually be there (if anybody?), etc. etc. etc. Holy crap, I thought I was just applying to be considered, but I think they accept anything that's sent in... huh.... So, I'm in a bit of a pinch and will need to scramble to have a semi-decent Powerpoint by Friday that may or may not be viewable... so I guess I need a fancy-pants speech too. Or do you think I can just read the section of the paper?
Also, they asked for my advisors on the presentation, and I basically molded two class papers together with a lot of individual research to make this paper that will be presented on.... so I just listed those two teachers. Do you think they'll be pissed? Unless I do a good job, in which case... happy?
Oh dear.
Anyway, I'll try to post what I come up with when I get it done. It is a high pain week, and midterms are in full bloom. I just want to chop the whole darn tree down! (And use it for firewood except not so much, given that we have an electric one, hrm.)
