And just like that, Maelstrom Day presentations are over! 4 weeks' effort compressed into 15 minutes. I don't have the time or memory to recall the rest of the group's work but there were a few who clearly put more effort in than others - costumes, presentations on YouTube, even a mini movie made for this purpose, and such. I met my group and we settled ourselves into the venue, assessing how to utilise the space, present ourselves best, etc. The props we had, especially Jacob's fishing rod (haha) were perfect! The first half went by faster than expected and due to that Min wanted to push our group ahead which we declined (and later regretted). One girl in another group shocked me by not only stealing my idea for asking the audience a question, but used MY question; when I attempted to respond with my answer, she even corrected me! I was cursing [humorously] under my breath for awhile after that.
In the break, Harriet, Jaz and I ate far too many Sour Cream and Chive Pringles!
Then some technicians came in and fiddled with the pc, rendering the sound (for our presentation at least) practically mute!
Despite these set-backs, we managed to pull it off to my relief. The last few groups were a mixed bunch but all had some redeeming features and good points. At this point though, I just wanted to get out, get ready, and hop on my train, but had to fill out feedback forms after all was finished. THEN I said my goodbyes for the weekend and was off, as I still am right now (listening to Bohemian Rhapsody too!) About 1/2 hour away from London and another hour on top of that before I'm home.
I've been waiting for this day ever since we started the Making Waves module....
