Proud and Prejudiced

Mood: Tired
Music: Swing Swing - The All-American Rejects

Ok, so progress thus far:

• War of the Worlds review is completed and adapted to the format of The Advertiser. Has been proofed. Facts have been checked
• Pride and Prejudice review: The bulk of the writing has been completed and proofed, just needs to be adapted to the layout appropriate for The Australian.

So yes, I have changed the intended publication for the Pride and Prejudiced review from Dolly to The Australian. It was just too hard to reach 400 words in what I have affectionately labeled "Bimbo Language". Instead, I've chosen to use The Australian as the vocabulary featured is more developed and I found it to be a much easier format.

Now that the actual reviews are completed (or pretty much completed) it is time to turn my attention to (drumroll please) the oral!!!!

Despite my earlier inclinations towards doing the oral on tape, I have decided to do it in front of the class. Yes, I'll be ridiculously nervous, but less preparation is involved and I think I'll do better if I can do it off the top of my head and speak naturally. The plan is to have a cue card with dot points of all the things which I need to address. Hopefully it should go well. :)
