I've been a little worried over the past week or so about my presentation and portfolio. Between all of my other classes I've managed to gather quite a lot due in a rather short time and I feel the pressure really starting to get to me. Even though I have managed to tame the beast that is a good chunk of what is due by Friday and Thursday, I feel as though my writing may have suffered from the incoming due dates. When I sat down to revise a few of my poems, I felt like I fell short of my artist ability, but no matter how hard I tried I wasn't able to muster up enough artistic energy to make anything "better." That's not to say that I haven't improved on the poems, I feel like I've been able to accomplish that for the most part. Most of the poems I edited were chaotic and sporadic, and I was able to refine them into passable poems. I just can't escape this feeling that I could be doing so much more with my ideas. This isn't the first time I've encounter a problem like this, because I've always felt that my creative writings lacked a certain finesse. This course certainly helped with that, but it's more my language than anything.
The other thing I'm worried about is that Oral presentation. I don't really have anything formally written up, just a collection of thoughts really. After seeing some of the other presentations though, I feel like it's more about what you say, and what you've drawn, than how you go about presenting it. I had a lot of fun with this class, and I hope that I will continue to write poetry in my spare time.
