I'm Presenting in Six Days...Yikes

Six days until I present and I've got to say, I am actually in a MUCH better position than I was before the start of break. I wrote some pages of the script, and, surprisingly enough, they are actually funny. Whenever I am about to write, I get nervous and develop momentary writer's block, but yesterday, I woke up and busted out a few solid pages. Needless to say, I was pretty happy. Also, a great idea popped into my head this weekend regarding my presentation. I think I am going to host a debate between whether or not marijuana is portrayed too positively in movies and if glorifying it sends the message to children that it is acceptable to do. I will also show the class a trailer for my movie starring my friends. At this point, I am very hopeful and even excited to be working on this project, considering how easily it is coming now.

UPDATE: Helen Keller, aka Erica Heller, has just given me an idea about an alternative presentation. I could show a clip from a movie portraying use of drugs as silly, not sinister, and see what the class thinks about it by making them respond to questions. As for now, it's been a fun year. Keep it real.
