Thank-you Facebook

March 6, 2008

The sky’s the limit when it comes to inspiration.  Anything and everything can be inspiring at the right moment.  The controversial Facebook was just what I needed to solve a problem I’ve been struggling with for the last eight days – what to write about for Presentations Skills.Our first day back after March Break, we have a speech to persuade due.  It was assigned well before the break, but alas, I am a student and sometimes put off difficult things until the last few days.  It wasn’t intentional this time, because for the life of me I couldn’t think of a topic I wanted to write about.  I’ve been tossing ideas around in my head the whole break and was just starting to get a little anxious about it.  But enter Facebook to save the day.

Thanks to my dear friend Kate, who decided to question the Facebook world about the value snow brings to society, I now have a topic I want to write about.  I didn’t want to choose a topic too in-depth that I’d get in over my head, besides; we only have three minutes to present our point of view and back it up.  So the topic Facebook inspired me to write about is just perfect because I know I can say what I need to in the allowed time slot and I’m passionate about it.  Thank-you Facebook and obviously, Kate.

So for all those times Facebook has taken a beating for ruining things, this time it saved the day.  It has put me out of my misery of deciding on a topic.  Now if only Facebook would write this speech for me.
