Venezuela!

[Joe]

To those who thought I was going on vacation, although I hate to crush your dreams, I'll do it anyhow. I'm staying here.

That said, here's the notes I quickly rounded up for me to toss a powerpoint together from tomorrow morning at school.

About Venezuela:

Note: This was written at 2:27AM, while trying to do a project a few hours while it was due. I just wrote this so I could have it handy at school to make into a PowerPoint presentation. If, for some reason, you enjoy this.. enjoy!

This was a two month research project. I did that in 36 minutes.

[Joe]

I don't have a copy of PowerPoint at home, so I had to do this at school (hence posting this), but I finished making the slide show in 41 minutes.

77 minutes for a two month research project. :)

Half-assing projects now isn't going to help you later. 

[Joe]

I didn't half-ass it. I did a decent job. It was just an easy project.

I think I already told you, but my teacher tried to get me to study vocab, and when I refused on the basis of already knowing it all, she gave me a 20 question oral quiz which I aced with ease.

[dark_drake]

Regardless, the amount of research you did was minimal. That is why I consider it half-assed.

And what does this have to do with vocab?

[Joe]

Me knowing so much about vocab shows that I could have afforded to half-ass this, if I wanted to.

And I didn't do minimal research. Everyone else just screwed around.
