I'm working with a partner on a major presentation that is due Friday. My partner wants to do it on Presi. I spent all evening on Presi and all I was able to accomplish was the title slide. I can't figure out this stuff. Everything is counterintuitive. I can't copy and paste text. I can't upload Powerpoint slides, even though it says I should be able to. I'm constantly zooming in and out when I don't want to or clicking on the wrong thing. It just doesn't make sense.

I emailed my partner asking if we can do Powerpoint instead. My partner hasn't made the slightest effort to contact me until last week, when I dumped a buttload of notes and websites for her to look at. The notes were not polished, but I wanted to show her that I have been working on the project. Not getting anything of substance done, but definitely worrying about it 24/7.

The group that went before us did this really professional job with all the bells and whistles. Our presentation is not going to look anything like that unless my taciturn partner turns out to be a wizard at graphic design. I'm hoping that will happen, but then I will feel guilty because she's doing all the real work while I'm just running around being stupid and useless.

I don't have time to learn Presi or anything new. I'll be at work all this week. I'm worried that I'll have to stay up all night from now until Friday to get everything done, and I'm already exhausted. I hate the idea of going without sleep. And I dread having to go up in front of the class and speaking for at least 15 minutes, because I'm sure I don't have 15 minutes worth of useful information to talk about.
