I keep fucking things up this semester. For like a few weeks already???
My finals started last week and I fucked up that paper. Today I fucked up the paper too. When can I stop throwing away marks?? The real problem is that my papers are in the morning when my brain is so dry and not oiled yet. I think slower and when I think I got things under control, I FUCK UP.
I know I'm feeling so angry, upset and frustrated about myself. Gosh.
But I still have two more papers. It is possible for me to do better in them ie B+ or A- even though I fucked up my last two papers? OK let's not have any regrets. Let's put in 110% in my next two papers (even though there's no time) but I hope that I can finally say "Ah, it wasn't too bad." for my next two papers instead of saying "I fucked it up."
C'mon girl, confidence boost all the way!!! Stay alert too and sleep early yeah u and me can do this!!!! If others can do it, why can't you?

Mentor tips #2
1. What is the pitch of your presentation? Ie what are the ideas you want to bring across?
2. Every slide, 1 main message
3. If too wordy, can say "let me navigate through this slide with you" or "let me go through this slide with you" to control the audience or if not the visual ones will read the content without listening to you + prevent them from going all over the place.
4. Practise in front of the mirror, and walk around the space to familarise the script more. Script can be at the back of your mind but you must be able to say the content in speaking language.
5. Go to the venue earlier to familarise yourself with the environment so that you'll be less fearful
6. Be confident when talking and that is only through practice
7. In her opinion, it's not the length of the message that matters, but the intensity ie pauses so that the listener can talk. The words cannot be too lengthy or it'll be difficult to digest. So when comparing, you can point out "what is the difference between these two? One is lengthy, harder to digest while the other one is short but intensive tone". Something along the lines.
8. Maintain eye contact when u pace a little.
9. Be unconventional ie 30 s about yourself
10. Meaningful pictures can be integrated into the slides
11. What is the effectiveness of this platform and the impact?
12. Tie your hair if you think the wind will make your hair messy. Think of all these little things to make a better presentation.
13. You can end off with what you believe in ie happiness so you make the ending slide short and sweet
14. Ask questions at the start to create tension. Think of the topic ie gender equality then generate questions ie have you ever felt that you were treated unfairly?
15. Can include experience specific to yourself ie this is what I experienced
16. Depending on the context ie lunchtime talk so content is light
17. Come up with a storyboard and a picture and pitch before doing slides and then script
