Yesterday's lecture

[frualeydis]

My lecture yesterday wasn't really good. I lacked the energy and motivation to make it perfect; instead I built it from pieces of two other lectures and made it good enough. So all the pieces didn't fit smoothly together and there was some repetition.
But I don't think anybody noticed; because even if the planned lecture as such wasn't that good, I was really, really good. There was about 130 people there and it was in a rather modern theatre, so I stood on a real stage. And walked, and showed pictures, and talked without papers for long periods(one reason for some of the repetition, since when I got back to my notes I had to say some things I've already said to get back into the planned order). I thought I was short on time, so I cut some part shorter than I needed to, but I showed no hesitation and I don't think anyone noticed. I owned that stage and that auditorium.

In a little more than hour I have two hours of "River cultures and early civilizations", I wonder if I can do it again?

*points upward* What the above person said.

I don't quite get this. You hold lectures, but you are unemployed? Explain...

Oh, I have a few hours of lectures in the beginning of the semester. Yesterday was outside the university though, it was an arrangement by a historical society in another town.

Of course you can do it again -- and next time it will be just a little bit better ... :-D
