major accomplishment

Today I had to give a workshop in the music department (we are all required to do so) and so I decided to talk about ways to incorporate writing into the music curriculum. However, most of my department speaks only a little English, and so I felt I had two options:

  1. Give a really fantastic presentation in English and chance that most people won't understand it.
  2. Give an average presentation in Spanish that everyone will understand.
I chose option two. I wasn't able to go as in-depth as I would like, but I felt good that everyone pretty much understood what I said. Also, I think I earned some much-needed brownie points by doing the whole thing in Spanish.
