for one of my classes we're teamed up across all ad tracks (copywriting, designers, acct. managers, experience designers, and strategists) in groups that we're with the entire semester. we create and present a new campaign every other week - AKA we spend a shit ton of time with these people.
today they're bringing all of the teams out to a ropes course for teamwork exercises. I fucking hate heights, soooo this should be pretty interesting
FYI: part of the ropes course had two logs ascended in the air that spread further apart as you moved down them... like really fucking far apart and you had to hold up your teammate across from you all the way to the end and no support ropes or anything to grab onto if you lost your balance.
I had a panic attack in the middle of it and started sobbing. so that was fun. ... all while trying not to fall on a wobbly log with no supports. (well, a harness, but still)
so yesterday i was going to the lake with some peeps. first i stopped at a friend's apt that i hadn't been to before. i go and knock on the door and some other girl i don't know answers and is like oh hey! come on in, i'm soandso. There was someone else hanging out, met him and then we all started talking. eventually i said "are you guys excited for the lake?" and she responded "oh, i think we are just going to the pool.". i was a little bummed b/c my friend hadn't mentioned the change in plans and then the girl was like, "wait, who are you here for?"....i told her my friends name and it turns out I WAS IN THE WRONG APARTMENT. these people let me in and talked to me for 5 mins before we realized it. buahahaha

I initially read "logs" as "legs" and was all ready to post in the Phrasing thread until I reread what I had quoted.
Dave Maynar has an avatar that looks a whole lot like the grandpa I never knew...
Old pictures are kinda weird these days...
FYI, it's a picture of Gen. Robert Neyland, the greatest coach in the University of Tennessee football's history. They named the stadium after him. He's pretty great.

I thought it was Jonathan Winters this whole time.
"okay, who are going to be our 3 presenters?" "caitlin, you know your shit really well and most of our campaign is based off your findings. I think you should lead us in" *group nods in agreement* *I puke*

I am really surprised that you have an issue speaking in front of people. I used to really freak out about such things. It changed when I was an Architecture (shout out to bacon) major for a few years in college. As part of the major, you had to give presentations about whatever project you were working on to your class group and a selection of professors from the program. You put up your drawings and model then explained the ideas you had behind the project and your process in designing whatever the structure was. The professors would then inform you in a succinct and direct manner how your ideas were all garbage and inquired as to how far you had to put your head in your ass to come up with that presentation. After being exposed to that for two and a half years, everything else seems kind of tame in comparison.

I think it's more the pressure of it. my groups thinks I'm going to kill it - don't want to let them down, this program is really elite - don't want be to the one who's the shitty presenter in the class, and AHH it's just kinda a big deal. I just don't want to fuck it up.

Don't worry about it. Yes, it's an elite program. You got into the elite program though, so that says something about you.

Even if it's a mediocre presentation you did more than those other goons. So you're good no matter what.

The man has a point. Professors notice stuff like that. I had a professor in college who always gave everyone on the first group to present an A just because they volunteered to present first.

I'm not going to wish you luck because you don't need it; you either have it, or you don't. Like Dave said, you got there for a reason. All you gotta do is be you.
Also, when you start your presentation, open things off with a real loud fart - I mean an honest-to-god bell ringer, no half measures.
After that, anything you do will look better in comparison.

Indeed, if you make it through a couple years of Architecture school you will eventually get pretty decent at presenting things. Or you will cry a lot, but the criers normally don't last too long.

Tennessee's program was prouder than they probably should have been that their graduation rate was about 30%. If I remember correctly, it was the lowest for any major on campus.

Maybe it is their way of weeding out those that are not dedicated and only putting out the best representation of the school. I have know idea what Tennessee's reputation is like in the architectural world.

I think U of I was something similar. It was like a mandatory 5 or 6 year program and somewhere between studio and calc 3 people went insane.
My school was similar, the business school was top 75 in the country but my particular major was top 5. So there were several easy classes on tough curves Sophomore and Junior year to weed out the program. Only like 25% of people would pass simple classes like Business Calculus or Managerial Accounting so everyone would take them at the local JUCO. They wanted to weed out the people who were best served majoring in other fields.
Haha not true. I wasn't clogging up my summers with school. The first time I took business calc, I had a B at the mid-term but I missed the mid-term because I was in Vegas so I dropped the class. The second time I barely had a C and I thought I needed a C, so I dropped it at the add/drop deadline. The third time I took it, I couldn't drop it but I found out all I needed was a D. My grade was a 42% and on the curve that was a D. I needed a 2.75 to get into the business school my Jr year. I had a 2.77. You had to get a C or better in all your classes Jr/Sr year. I got 19 C's and 1 A from my second time taking Volleyball. I don't think it would have been possible for me to try less and still succeed in college.
Sometimes I think you might be my hero. Especially with your fancy two tv setup, but then I think I might read about you dying in front of those tvs after watching like 150 straight hours of soccer.
What was your grade the first time you dropped volleyball?
I took it twice, got an A both times. We used co-ed nets and I'm tall. It was a spike/block party every time I showed up. They allowed us to take 8 PE classes that were all 1 credit. I took volleyball twice because I weighed too much for horseback riding and I really liked the girl/boy ratio the first time I took it.
That's awesome. Smart move. I took Scuba I and II in college and it's one of the best decisions I ever made.
