Presentation Review

Before going up to do my presentation, I could already feel the nerves setting in. My knees were weak, arms were heavy, there was vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti. OK, maybe it wasn't just like the famous Eminem song, Lose Yourself, but it sure felt like it.
I am certainly not the best at speeches, especially after watching my presentation on video. A major problem that was noticed is that I tended to rush through things. I just needed to relax and let the words come out of my mouth before trying to say something else. Eye contact was also a problem for me. This problem could have probably been reduced if I just printed or wrote some points down on paper. that way I wouldn't have to turn away from the audience to read off the board. One thing I realized I could do after it was too late, was to connect Goneril and Regan to Joseph Stalin better. It seemed like I jumped right into the pool without letting my body get used to it. If I would have added some humor to my presentation, I would have been more enjoyable. Some nice spongebob videos would have been good (thanks for the laughs Jon.). Other than these main points, I think I got my point across.
