Its been an inspiring few weeks in University, full of exciting new ideas and exhausting long nights. I prepared my final presentation on my four themes that I wanted to explore.

The presentation was rather simple and reflected everything I researched on. Most slides had a few sentences that I talked over. The hardest part of the presentation for me was to bundle it all up into a 7 minute long presentation.
I had a lot of information on my themes that I could have gone over for ages, so I narrowed things down and practiced my presentation with my fiancee a few times overnight to get the timing right.
After our presentations were done, we all wrote down research points for each other to help us choose 1 theme out of 4 for the phase 2.
Some people had a very interesting perspective on different themes that I presented and that was very interesting to note. I also got some very good research points on all of them. Everyone further voted on which theme I should choose for my phase 2 deep research and the votes were as follows:
Anthropomorphism 4 votes
Seamounts 5 votes
Nostalgia 4 votes
Anxiety and Stress 3 votes
It was pretty clear to me that people were more interested in me exploring and researching seamounts. Honestly, I was gonna pick this topic either way but it was very nice to know that people were as enthusiastic about this as I was.
