I gave a presentation in português today, and basically I rocked its socks. I talked about the different dialects of Portuguese. I had to limit it to just 5 minutes though, which was hard because there is a lot to say about that subject. I would have preferred to have this presentation be 25 minutes and have my International Affairs presentation only be five minutes. I'm not sure yet, but I think that Portuguese might be just as much fun to give presentations in as Spanish or Chinese... (dare I say more fun?). With a little bit more practice I might even be able to trick people into thinking that I actually speak it!
Anyhow, with that presentation behind me my to-do list continues to shrink. I still have plenty of work to finish over the next 5 days, but compared to what I had on my plate a few days ago everything is looking pretty good.
I was going to put up a song in Portuguese, but I couldn't find that I liked (here's what I found, but it didn't meet even my low standards). So instead I'm going to post this song that I've been addicted to for the past week or so called, "Falling by the Wayside" by People in Planes. The last song that I was addicted to was "Move Along" by All-American Rejects. Like that video, this video also features a long-haired lead singer. I think I am just jealous that I can't have hair like that. Contrary to what the song says, I am not losing control, nor am I falling by the wayside, I just like the song.
