Friday's- Summary

Today I put the final touches on my PowerPoint presentation and I'm not completely satisfied with it because I could have done more and made it alot more interesting. It's my fault though for not being able to finish the project how I would have liked it because I could have put alot more effort into it on Wednesday and Thursday.

Thursday's- Summary

Well, I'm not going to do my project on K-Fed afterall because the outline that I had for it was more than seven slides and I wasn't fully aware of the grading rubric. I'm going to take a more serious approach and go with Ne-Yo, who isn't my actual favorite artisit. I don't really have one but I figured it would be interesting to one on him so I finished about three of my slides.

Wednesday's- Summary

Im barely starting on my project because I wasn't here yesterday. So far I decided that I'm going to do my presentation on Kevin Federline, sort of as a joke. It should be prett funny.
