Just got my feedback for my Persuasive Speech!

Technically, I only had to hand in the outline, but since I wrote the speech to the outline template, it was effectively the same thing.

Anyway, here's the professor's feedback:

[Socchan], excellent job following the template. Well written and organized. Transitional statements were strong.

Yeah. Just kinda laugh-crying over "Excellent job following the template" 😂 Boy I sure hope it was, after how long I spent agonizing on it!

Anyway, I got 100% on the speech, and an additional 16/20 points of extra credit for presenting it. I could probably blow off the final quiz and assignment and still get at least a B in this class. I'm not going to, on account of being certain that it would tempt me into blowing off more and more assignments over the next semester, but it's good to be secure in my final grade.

Esperanto Dreamsheep are a go! You can check them out over here on dreamsheep or here on esperanto.

I just wish that Minesweeper would count it as a win if you correctly identify and flag all of the mines, even if you don't click on every other non-mine square. The same way it auto-flags all of the mines if you do click every non-mine square, but don't use any flags.

Got to give this in class after all! Sharing it here as well, because why not.

Switched speech topic from "Why You Should Switch to Firefox" over to "Why You Should Learn Esperanto", because the former was giving me a headache to try and write. Esperanto speech is going much more smoothly! I still need to write the conclusion, but that's just one paragraph, and I've already got all of my sources listed and embedded as well.

...I should make an Esperanto Dreamsheep. And pick Esperanto back up in general. I remembered what I know better than I was expecting, but I really do want to know this language well.

Edit: Speech is (tentatively) complete! I just want to extract it from the template and give it a good look over for flow and so forth, and then it should be good to go. Thank goodness.

Ooooo, I really don't like the template we're supposed to use for our final speech! And using that specific template is required for the grade.

It's built fully around the "Munroe Motivational Sequence", and I just. I feel like the steps in that thing are named in a very non-intuitive way.

The good news is, I don't actually have to present my persuasive speech. The bad news is, I picked a topic that makes me want to. So I guess I'll see how that goes.

Oh god, it's finally happening; the smutty oneshot I'm plotting for Sot69 is trying to turn into either a multi-chapter fic or the first part of a series 😱

I'm a short fic writer! I'm not reeaaaadyyyyyy!
