thank you robocop.

I got an A on my wacky persuasive speech!  My class must have fallen in love with animal testing, finally!  Had I known how effective I was, I would have considered further a presentation on why they should all drop out.

Other topics presented included:

iPhone vs Blackberry

Jay-Z vs Lil Wayne

Why You Should Travel the World

Xbox 360 vs PS3

Voting (position on it was pretty unclear until the South Park clip was played that included Pdiddy singing "shake those titties when you vote, bitch")

Pitbulls ("since I was 12years old I've always believed in animal abuse," "temperment has nothing to do with the breed, it has to do with the DNA" and the text on the last slide was "Give a Pit The Chance Thank You :)")

School Uniforms (speeches for and against were given)

and my favorite first slide ever, the topic Astronomy vs Poverty, by the same girl who couldn't conjur the word "shucks" and said "aww... junks"

There was one on the negative side of dating.  She talked for about twenty minutes, played "MASH" and used a substitute for an f-bomb about one minute before there was a slide that had it typed out and she was reading "fuck my life" and using it in other applications.  It was hilarious.  she also played "why you asking all them questions?" for us on YouTube.  I had never seen it before, but it was a nice addition to the class period.


NOW there is one more short speech to give, one very daunting paper to press on with, a test in math that I am not ready for, and a test on genetics. Then we are finished with academics for the year.  I don't want to do it again next year, but I don't think that they'll just let me not.
