Rambling inside.

I'm stressed as fuck about a presentation tomorrow. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal. Get through it, realize - z, motherfucker - that no one gives a shit, realize you won't ever see these people again, and so on.

But the presentation is in Spanish. Which I don't really speak. So it's a bit more of a challenge to put it mildly.

For example, our professor gave us the grading rubric ahead of time. Rather than a typical 1-10 score, it's 5-10. Which means 1) he's trying to calm us down, 2) he's put a grading floor of 50 in. That's really good news and really bad news. On the one hand, fuck it up to hell and you still get a 50 - that's really generous. On the other hand, it means he thinks a floor of 50 is necessary (i.e., some people would otherwise fall below it).

So yeah. The plan is to drink until around 4pm, sleep till around 2am, and use the next 10 hours to make a goddamn presentation and try to learn the goddamned foreign language.

Finally, I tried to link to Hurt (the Johnny Cash version). But fucking google with its fucking bullshit would only copy the google link rather than the direct YouTube link. So... I encourage y'all to give it a listen, particularly if you haven't heard it lately.
