Bombing my Presentation

Just when I thought it was okay to plant my tongue firmly in my cheek, I realize in front of an entire class while giving a presentation that perhaps it is NOT okay.
Brief overview:
My professor laughs at me several times and then out and out tells me that part of what I'm talking about DIDN'T EXIST during the era I am reporting on. Oh, nuts. Well, I can take comfort in the fact that he flat out told my other classmates they were wrong during their presentations, too. It must be simply exhausting being right ALL the time.

Out of Shape

The sun was shining, the wind was blowing, the birds were chirping. Why not get pumped up for an over the lunch run OUTSIDE?! First one of the season! Life is good.
I start out strong. Well, ... I was running past the 3M windows - no time for a walk/jog here. I take out in a nice heafty run. I hit mile marker .1 and am huffing pretty good, but there are still windows that I am running past, I must keep up pace. I head up a slight hill and thank GOODNESS - I come to an intersection. Just my luck a car is approx .5 miles away. I figured I best be on the safe side and stand there, waiting for 15 seconds. Oh **whew**, I have caught a slight 2nd wind. I take off again - this time in a slow jog as I head onto other 3M ground. Mile marker .5, thank GOODNESS for another intersection.
This is a rough start to the running season...
