Semester's over!

Finally, the winter semester of 2013 is over! except finals. This semester has been super long, and was one of the toughest semester ever. I had a lot of writing assignments, which I am not very good at. This is probably why I struggled so much this semester. Well, it's all over now. I just need to take four finals and I am done!
I haven't taken a break since January 2012. I have been going to school for 16 consecutive months without a break, and I need one. I am going to take summer off and just relax. I am so excited about it, but I don't have specific plans. Probably it's not a good time to plan for summer, because I should focus on finals. But, as soon as I am done with my finals, I will plan for my summer and make the best out of it. Four months is not a short period of time. I will not waste my time, but make it valuable. I am so looking forward the semester to be over!

Group Presentation and Practice

Last Tuesday, in Mcom class, we had a group presentation. Our group's presentation was on Analysis of complaints against Apple and the iPhone. Our group met on Monday to practice presentation. The group practice wasn't enough for me because I struggle with presentations a lot. Thus, when I got home, I practiced more, and during the practice, I recorded myself presenting to see and hear myself in a third-person's view.

I personally believe the presentation on Tuesday went well, better than my expectation. I am sure that's because of the practice. Without going over the practice many many times, I would have not done the presentation as well as I did.
Practice is very important in many cases. Sometimes I am overconfident that I don't practice. But the result is not always good. I cannot change the result ex-post, but I can change the result ex-ante. Thus, it is always good and important to practice beforehand in order to guarantee good results.
