cblj_backupI honestly think my shoulders just dropped at least three inches.
I have, as you all very well know, been terrified of this presentation in part because of my usual stage fright but also because of a severe case of Imposter Syndrome, that fear that everyone else thinks you know more than you do, that you'll be found out to be a fraud, and that you can't live up to someone's expectations of you. I've been able to see, quite clearly, the flaws not in my presentation but in the actual thesis I'm presenting.
So this morning I sat down in a rather dispirited fashion and tried taking one more crack at creating my Powerpoint slides to go along with the presentation.
Then, uh, I restructured the entire thing.
I think it might actually work now. If I can figure out how to cram eight pages about Blackface into a single slide (I only get 20 minutes to present, cut me some slack) I'll have a fairly critic-proof presentation.
Phew.
