Integrity
I've felt challenged a lot recently about how I spend/invest my money (i.e. do I do so in an ethical way) and about putting my money and my action where my mouth is. Also with this comes things like the environment. I claim to care about people and the environment yet at present I use unethical banks and I get on planes without thinking... I am going to transfer my bank account to an ethical one this summer. Also I have decided to neutralise the carbon emissions from my flights, see
this website.
Presentations
I had my project presentation yesterday, which was very eventful! After a 9am start, we had a major powercut at 11.30am so could not continue. We were told if the power was not on again by 2pm when we returned, the presentations would be cancelled and our marks would be calculated without them... Needless to say the power came back on again at 1.50pm! So we continued, expecting to be there until 6.30pm due to the delays. I was half way through my presentation at 4pm when, yet again, the power cut! I told them it didn't matter and continued on with my presentation without Powerpoint, determined nothing was gonna stop me finishing it! So I got mine out the way but many people had to return this morning to complete theirs, which they were a bit miffed about...
