Self-Presentation + Procrastination = NO GOOD

About 2 weeks in my ED215 class we were given an assignment where we had to create a presentation about the topic given. The chapter I was assigned to was on Chapter 6. Chapter 6's topic was about Emotional Disturbance. There is a variety of things listed for that topic, but the one I wanted to do a presentation on was "Depression" because it was the most common out of all the rest. I also chose this topic because I know someone who is dealing with depression RIGHT NOW, and its not very nice to look at. Basically, depression is a marked pervasive sad mood and sense of hopelessness. Symptoms include social withdrawal; irritability; feelings of guilt or worthlessness. 
-I was so nervous about this presentation, because in all honestly... I only started working on it the day before the presentation. I had a really long weekend and there was so many things going on, on my plate. I felt like I didn't have time to start on this presentation. Luckily, a friend of mine wanted to help me out... So I literally did my powerpoint the whole damn day... It was not easy at all because I had to search up all the information about depression literally during that one day!!! :( I know I said I wasn't going to procrastinate anymore, but I literally didn't have time over the weekend. My presentation yesterday was nerve-racking because I did not really practice my lines and it was so hard not to read the information from the slides. But, yesterday I was the first person to present my powerpoint!!!!! the presentation had to be 20-25 minutes long, and I honestly feel confident that I got a really good grade. That is probably one of my last presentations I will be doing for this semester. :) I'm so happy that the semester is about to end, but I am going to miss my classmates that I got so close too!!!!! :((
