Public Speaking [Tuesday, April 16, 2013]

"Right, well, last week completely blew," Josh began without preface, drinking from his precious, precious mug of coffee. "And next week is your final exam. For that I would like you to prepare a ten minute informational speech for newcomers to the island. Tell them all the things you wish someone had told you, and present it in a way where the person hearing you won't immediately dismiss you as being completely insane."

He leaned back against his desk. "But for today, we're going to do some improv speaking. Stand up, I'll give you a topic and you just get to go without any preparation time. It'll be fun!"

Or a disaster. One of those.

"My hobby is collecting clothes in mysterious dungeons," Jessica said. "I never thought I'd get a chance to really run with a hobby like that, but last week was a boom period for me. By the end of the week, I was dressed in a bizarre outfit that combined space, medieval, preppy, and hipster fashions, and I couldn't be happier about it."

That's what she was going with, yes.
