The final week is approaching quickly, and therfore the presentation and report are being finalized. We met with Professor Carrera and Michalson to review our presentation, and received good feedback on it. Our paper is progressing as well, and we are almost at 100 pages!
To ease our stress on the final week we met with Sarah Puccio and her husband Piero for a Spritz near the Rialto. The Bells team also joined us, who worked with Piero extensively.

Today we watched some of the other teams present their projects. The WPI Food Team, Bells Team, Shops Team, and 30th Anniversary team all presented today. Accessible Venice, Preservenice, and we all present this coming Monday the 13th.
On a different note, all my stuff has wrapped up. Now I am just writing the report and presentation, collecting my deliverables and documents into condensed files that are easier for SerenDPT to manage, and helping Peter define future work for the website. I also have four doors that I have yet to test every key for. One of the windows in the main Apse and two Support closets haven't been tested while the second window of the main apse I have the key for but it is in the window so I just have to go get it. Then I will be done. SerenDPT has a lot of work to do for keys. A lot of doors don't have any keys that work and the locks will need to be replaced. I wish them luck.

I hate presenting. We are rehearsing our final presentation after we have rearranged the order of the slides to satisfy the advisors advice. I think the new presentation is nice, we included a few easter eggs that a select few would notice. In the top of the slide there is normally the H3 logo in a similar fashion to our website, but upon talking about the history of the Herion Garment Factory and the Herion Accelerator, we cover some of the roman numerals to show H1 and H2 respectively. Other than that, I am dedicating this script to memory. I can't see it when I close my eyes, so there is still work to be done over the weekend.

Presenting is something I've found myself becoming better and better at, but also dread more and more. I've been a little hard on the team about presentation techniques, and the overall flow of the presentation, but it's my only hope that the team presents flawlessly. Typically I'm not one to script out my presentations, and enjoy being able to just say what's on my mind about the content. Since the slides behind me won't be in English, this time it may make a bit more sense to try and memorize a script. In addition to that I've been working on a set of closing remarks that I'm sure will impress. In some ways, I've decided that now more than I ever I should make this as a magical a moment as possible and look to inspire. Sort of like Tim Cook at the end of an Apple keynote.
