Final Assignment #1: Study the language of a certain group and report your findings.
In a way, this is all deja vu. Once again I have to be a creeper to complete an assignment, but this time we were given much more control. We were required to choose a certain subgroup of English to study and prepare a short presentation that would lead to a medium size essay.
At first, I attempt to trick myself into doing the project on something that didn't interest me at all, but I soon realized that I was only hurting myself (and my grade). I fell back on my old standby topic: video games.
Yes, whenever I am able to choose my own topic with no restrictions, I almost always include video games in some way. Once, I even composed an essay about Shakespeare, video games, Roger Ebert and swans, and not only did it work, I consider it one of the best papers I've ever completed.
I ended up focusing on the terminology used to discuss the Super Smash Bros. games, which is actually much more extensive that I thought. My presentation is tomorrow and I can tell that it's going to be good because I'm actually extremely excited. And I'm terribly afraid of public speaking.
But it's way too easy for me to get excited when video games are involved.
