Presentations and the Return of "Homework"

So it's not really true to call it homework.  I mean, it's barely work and this place can barely be called home.  However there is writing and thinking that we are required to do outside of our instructor's presence.  As part of our Dinghy Instructor Assessment - not this week but next week (so close!) - we need to have done a ten minute presentation upon a given subject.  During this we are expected to show a good structure, a good knowledge of our topic, a well chosen medium of presentation as well as being clear, concise, confident and engaging. (i.e. looking at who you're talking to, making eye contact, not fiddling, no using fillers such as "erm", or "like" etc.
Should be fine.  I've been given an ok-ish topic, shouldn't be too hard.  It's entitled, "The Art of Anchoring" so I guess that will include scope, type of anchor, positions to anchor, considerations when anchoring, taking transits... just basic stuff really... might have to research a bit more on types of anchor as I can't find it in the books we've been given though I'm sure I saw some stuff on anchors in it somewhere.
That's pretty much the biggest thing of today, an amazing day, on Facebook people have been saying that, but for us it's been amazing days for the last three or four days... I'm enjoying it, I don't want it to go wet again... but it will... ah well; Egypt in four weeks.
MUST GET MONEY FOR IT!  (Just so I don't forget)
