Practice exams and life choices

16:15

I don't know why I look like such a sad puppy but there you go!
So, right now I'm doing some quick editing work in premiere before I finish the last cover picture for my practice exam. When I'm done with that I just need to get the text on there and then I can move on to the presentation.

The presentation is the thing that worries me the most, as well as being the thing I'm the most confident of. Oral presentations overall don't scare my too much because I am confident in my ability to speak, and on top of that I've also got a bunch of training and experience with oral exams. HOWEVER I have never had an exam just like this one, this one being a media exam to present a product from a given assignment. I don't know where to start or what to say.

With an oral exam in history, social studies, English or anything like that, you get a topic on the spot and you're supposed to discuss it. You don't have to present anything youv've made and explain why, you just need to tell the facts that you know while briefly reflecting upon them and while using fancy words of the subject.

With a media exam like this ... I'm just not 100% sure what to do or say, let alone when and for how long those things should be spoken of.

I've noticed that not knowing what to do seriously puts me into a bad mood.

On a final, pretty unrelated note:
I've been thinking that maybe I should put more efforts into writing books, compared to what I've been doing for the last ... well, while.
I still want to do videos, and I honestly don't mind if they never get lots of views and stuff like that. However, it's a fact that I'll eventually need something to live off. In the perfect world I could do travel videos and videos to support a community of dreamchasers, as those are the things I love the most. Silly creative things that could entertain would also be nice.
If I am to be realistic, I'll never be able to make a living off making videos, which is ok but at the same time it forces me to think of what I can do to live, while still supporting my hobbies and passions. To me, writing seems to be the answer.

I've always been writing and I'll always write, no matter how many breaks I take or how long they are. Writing is one of the most settled parts of me as a person, and I'm not expecting it to go away anytime soon. Based on how publishing in Norway works, writing also seems like a reachable goal for me to make a living off of. It's something I could do for a living.

Those are things that I have been thinking.
What have you been thinking of?
