Last week, on wednesday, Dalai came up to me and asked me to preach for his church on Sabbath. I said sure. In retrospect, I should have started my sermon of Wednesday, but I didn't. I waited until friday afternoon to get to it. Fortunately, dad gave me some very good advice, and that was to take a chapter of the Great Controversy and summarize it into a sermon. It worked out very well, all things considered. The main problems were that it is extremely hard to maintain a contiguous train of thought while stopping every few words for translation, and Dalai was translating, so I could never be totally sure that he's actually repeating what I said. His english isn't really that good.
I had promised my students that I would give them a demonstration of my project, so that they would have an example of a presentation. I didn't get that done. It was supposed to be done on Thursday, and I didn't have the materials by then. I got them on Monday, and never got around to the experiment, so for Tuesday morning, I just created data, so that they could have a presentation. It worked out, but I want to try to actually do it this weekend. I want to present it at the science fair.
Anyway, since I didn't have my presentation for Thursday, we watched the Leidenfrost Experiment on mythbusters' "mini myth mayhem." They enjoyed that, so i guess job done.
