Presentation - Davidson

My presentation on Davidson and Metaphor went surprisingly okay!

Worked hard all week to research and understand it the best I could. Admittedly, I was quite nervous before I started the tutorial, but a few minutes in I was okay. Voice was steady, my pronunciation (which is usually awful!) was clear. Was very happy with how it went. :)

There was only one moment where I had the tears coming on, and that was after Philosophy Jock said "well... I just don't think that was a very good example to use" - making reference to my Frege example. An awkward pause, and then my lecturer said... ""!) I was a bit upset by how upfront he said that, but afterwards he said "good job" while I got my applause, and then afterwards walking by the group on the way to the bus-stop, one of the guys said "well done, good presentation" and Philosophy Jock agrees.

Perhaps he just felt guilty? :P

But, I think it went okay. Anita asked if everyone had understood what Davidsons main thesis was, and they did, and nobody had any unanswered questions. :)

Only ONE more assignment to go before exams - Meaning and Interpretation - Research Essay!

I haven't yet chosen which question to do... must make a decision soon...
