Procrastinate!
On reading 2 of the article I’m supposed to present next Wednesday, it’s starting to make more sense. Except neither of the two authors know how to bake. If I ask you “how many eggs do I need to make this cake?”, I’m asking for the minimum number, sure — but if I can bake it with 4 eggs, I most certainly can’t bake it with 12 unless I triple all the other ingredients.
I’m changing that example when I present. It’s too stupid to be in print.
It’s actually interesting, and the good thing about having to present the article is that I need to read it in depth, so I might actually understand it, instead of giving up halfway through and rereading it after it’s been explained in class. I had forgotten I was presenting; luckily the prof mentioned it, and we’re meeting to discuss it on Monday.
I seem to have a very reasonable workload. Which would be fine, except I’m not doing it. Who needs to read this article if I can blog instead (or make a cake, or do laundry, or walk around my new neighbourhood listening ot a book on tape)?
