Reflective memo 14

I really do wish that I could remember to do these things haha. I guess ultimately it is because I am not a very good writer and I never really know what to write. I can say this, I am very glad to finally have my project for 388 and 499 completed, minus the Presentation tomorrow of course. I think that I am fairly well prepared, but you can't help but be nervous about something like a presentation. One of the hardest things for people to do fear wise is speak in front of people. I am sure I will do fine, but it is kind of like getting up the nerve to ask someone out, always get the butterflies. :-)

I completed my research on Dubai and the US's infrastructure. I do have to admit that I found quite a few things that I wasn't expecting to find. I am guessing that I could have probably used social media to get more first hand accounts of the situation in Dubai. I actually already know several people who live there. I rearly see them online though, and I don't think that they use twitter or anything like that. I did find a lot of really good data on Dubai via the internet, but I would have liked to possibly had a bit more to present about as far as first hand accounts. Much of the information I found online wasn't consistent, both for the Dubai and the US, all though the information about the US seemed to be more consistent.

I am very glad that I had the opportunity to conduct this research though. Since our country is so competitive with just about everything that we do, it is hard to really get a good prospective about our actually status in the world community without actually doing the research. Too much hear say going on I think. I am nervous and eager to get my presentation out of the way tomorrow.
