I'm [not really] ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille

You may recall that last quarter I was invited to present for the Imaging Science Fundamentals class. Well, I must have done a pretty decent job, because I was invited to do it again this quarter! Unfortunately, I have been a little ill for a few days, so I was concerned that I would have to bail - but I came in to work anyways and luckily I pulled through. (I've actually been running a fever, which would have been cool to see with the thermal camera - but my Advil hadn't worn off enough I guess, because I didn't appear to be burning up - boo.)

This being the last day before winter break, my audience was pretty light - many students only have one class on Fridays, and when it's an elective, they'll choose to blow off early to go home for break. I expected this to be the case, though, so my feelings weren't hurt. Even so, the presentation went well despite the small audience and overall desperate anticipation of leaving for two weeks off from school. Embarrassingly enough, video was captured of the presentation so that students who weren't present could view it online at their leisure - which means you can, too. I have to admit, I haven't watched very much of it - I love presenting, but when I see myself played back, I think I'm such a dweeb and wonder why anyone would listen to the stupid random things I say. Plus, everyone knows the camera adds at least 15 lbs. So, if you watch it, let me know if I do anything super embarrassing, okay? Then maybe I can convince someone to nonchalantly edit it out...
