Sociolinguistics Presentation

I had a major presentation to do at uni today for Sociolinguistics. So glad it's over and done with, but I want to post about what a pain in the ass rear end it was. XP

WTF Moment 1

On Tuesday, I took my laptop to ask the librarians if it was compatible with the university's power point presentation system.

She said she's fairly certain that the power point adaptors should work with most laptops...

I was asking about this blue plug thing:

But she showed me this:

..................... >.> Wtf?

I finally managed to tell her what I was talking about. Then she said she has no idea and that I would have to call the university's help desk and find out. DX I couldn't be bothered to do that, so I snuck into the empty class room, plugged my laptop into the system, saw that it fit and ran out. Bwahahaha!

WTF Moment 2

Since my laptop's a little big, I had to carry it around in a backpack. When I was washing my hands in the girls' bathroom, I realised that my backpack was larger than my entire upper body (excluding my head). @_@ I swear I looked like a turtle. ^^' Wtf? ^^'''

WTF Moment 3

Anyway, I went to uni early today and made OHP presentation as well. Just coz I don't trust the university at all. There's even a flier stuck on the girls' bathroom that says:

I don't need sex. UWS screws me over all the time.

XD (UWS is my uni) Wtf!? XD

Intermission

The presentation went well, btw. Lol. It was only supposed to be 8 minutes, but my presentation was a bit too long, so the teacher had to stop me before I finished. ;_;

My presentation was on the affects of the feminist ideology in Belle de Jour's writings.

WTF Moment 4

After class, one of my classmates (a 30+ year old man) slipped me a note. O.o

What are we, in high school!? Wtf? XD *shot*

WTF Moment 5

No, it was not a love note or anything silly like that. LOL. He wrote how he was:

... highly intregued & interest both by the subject of your presentation, & the direction you have selected using "Belle de Jour".

He wanted to know if I would e-mail him my presentation and the essay based on it after the end of this semester. O.o He said 'after the semester ends' so that I won't worry about him copying my work.

So yeah, a 30+ (I'm guessing) year old man (who looks dresses like the mafia) wants to read what I write about the linguistic characteristics of a call girl. WTF!? LMAO.

Mum: You stayed up until 4:30am working on that assignment, didn't you? When and how did you become such a procrastinator?

I'm procrastinating on answering that question.
