#19: Third Halo

This happened when I was in graduate school and I had a Japanese literature class I had been kind of slacking off in, so I really needed to be sure to do this presentation on Natsume Soseki, one of the major authors of modern Japanese literature. I do actually like Natsumes writing, though not as much as Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Ive never, ever been a fan of doing class presentations though, even long after I stopped having anything like a fear of public speaking, but in my experience Japanese language teachers love to assign presentations. When I was finishing up my B.A. in Japanese I would have semesters where I had to contend with like 7+ different final type things because most of my Japanese classes would have both an exam and a presentation.
