Review is done yeah...
And yet I don't feel satisfied why is that? Well I know it is partially because my presentation wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be. I mean I presented my core argument in the storyboard order I had imagined it. But it was really choked I thought in my opinion like a robot doing translation on the fly, I used the word "we" which is technically correct since my professor did assist me with the project, but I didn't want to, I was aware during the presentation that I didn't want to and it still popped out again minutes later. And last but definitely not least, I missed the majority of the finer details of my building. Why did all this happen?
I've been pondering, and first I've realized that this is great, school is where you are suppose to mess up in the first place and then you can learn and try again, it's not like the world where I missed out on some cool opportunity. Other conclusions: Who said presenting while in Zombie status is easy? (Though I have prided myself on it in the past) Who says presenting when you've barely swam through the impossible barage is easy? (Though I'm also proud of what I have pulled off in the past on the fly) But it's like a game of poker sometime staying in for the river works and sometimes it doesn't. Maybe.
But I did have an important realization just a little bit ago. The SPACE of my presentation was awkward. I mean sure there were the nice boards and the big model and the little model, and my roof exhibition of trusses and my bricks. But I did not fit into the context very well. This stems from the other important realization that even though everything I'm physically presenting presents the whole story, it is still being shoved in your face all at once (like architecture unfortunately must a lot of time) but anyways, unlike a slideshow which is progressive, I'm stuck there ON THE FLY figuring out what I should be pointing at when, stealing precious seconds of seamless transition. Which brings me back to the other point. When you have to turn your backside to the audience so you don't knock your model off the pedestal you really are destroying your moment. Maybe my idea of arch presentation is to contrived, but until I am fully in my element as an architect, rehearsal is necessary.

Hey! Regardless of how confident you are about your project - good job! At least your presentation is done. Don't be too hard on yourself in hindsight. Keep trucking away over there Charline, you're almost on your break :)
