Review and plans for the next week

I have handed in my literature essay and I already am thinking what book to choose for the essay which has to be done after April holidays.
History - I did hand in my essay last friday but now I have 2 days to do next essay which frightens me, because I find the subject utterly boring, so I will have to force myself to write this essay.
Spanish - Same thing, I have to do homework and revise. What I find useful about learning languages is watching films, so I will take films in my UBS home in both french and spanish.
Communication-have watched my presentation and realised what are the things I need to improve, its weird in a way to look at myself on video.
Thats about my studies so far.

After watching my presentation

Well, firstly I must say it was hard at the beginning to watch myself on video. It was a good experience and it is good to see myself and analyze mistakes. I think I used gestures too much and I noticed that I did not reply directly to question at the end of my presentation asked at one point, that is due to nervousness, but excuses, excuses :)
Powerpoint helped me a lot, but I realise that you can never be sure of technology, so have to take it easy and present even if there is no powerpoint available. I also had a little cards which I didn't really used, but it made me feel better.Overall I think I did good even I felt a bit nervous, but still comfortable in front of people talking as I knew the topic.
