Try not to freak out, but . . . I just gave my final presentation! Not "final" as in the project's over; just a progress report of sorts to show what I've accomplished this semester. At first I didn't realize how much I have actually done, but when I put it all in a slide show I thought "Wow! That looks like I busted my butt!"
The presentations for Leadership Academy theses are open invitation, but usually the audience is just the student's supervisor (in my case Dr. Robert Carr III), the student's secondary reader (Gregory Barry), and the head of the academy (Dr. Sarah Levine). My parents also came, which was a nice surprize. I talked for 20 minutes about the idea for the project, my search for a location, this blog assignment (that I've faithfully continued), my grant application and funding, gallery visits/observations, my guest list, music choices, and paniced quest for a title. I also passed around the current state of my postcard invitations, business card samples and gallery card designs, and laid my plans for next semester. Overall I think it went really well! Clearly I have lots to keep me busy over vacation.
OH MY GOSH VACATION! What am I doing writing a blog post in the early morning hours of my winter vacation?! There is no need for this. I'm going to bed. SEE YA IN THE SPRING (semester)!
PS. I wish you and your families a very merry CHRISTMAS!
