BIO "Deb"acle

DISCLAIMER: All incidents in this post are true. Names of members have been withheld to
ensure anonymity.

Our presentation today was seriously one for the ages. A sterling display of what not to do
on stage.We had to do a role play and presentation on social loafing. A seemingly easy task. We spent the better part of last night coming up with an idea that, though not spectacular could have fetched us 8 marks atleast given the leniency of the prof.

The entire skirmish started of with the narrator(a distinguished writer and orator, or so he
chooses to kid himself) for our role play not coming to class on time, which resulted in him
being left out of the proceedings for an hour.When it was our turn to present we had the unenviable task of going up to DC and requesting him to permit our narrator into class. We got this permission and moved on.

I presented the opening few slides (without incident I must add) and turned the floor over
to the others to perform the role play. The first part of our role play went on fine.Then our narrator explained some bullshit that went totally against the grain of the role
play and the topic!!! I silently cursed this screwup and hoped that the audience would not
notice the faux pas.

Onto the next part of the role play and the "lead" actor (cum comedian of the group) turns
his back to the audience, stares at the board and delivers his dialogues!!! Lets get one
thing straight.Dude, people just dont wanna see your butt. You are not endowed with a butt
like J Lo, which people would love to see if you caught them in the middle of an enema.

The presentation went on without any further screw ups. This was followed by a "feedback"
session from the audience about the goof ups and why our lead wanted to flash his assets for
the major part of the role play.

We all have to live with our mistakes and I hope my group and I can move on and complete the
rest of this globe course called BIO.

We need something or someone to really motivate our group to avoid this kind of situation in
the future...Neone have J Lo's number?
