How my presentation went:

It went pretty awesome. I had the Dean, who's name I forget, but she's a sweetheart. She was very impressed with my board game, research, and overall disposition on the subject. She said that the reason I got so many points was because of my manners, and to thank my mother for raising such a gentleman. That got me stoked. I went out on a limb and told her that I drink occasionally on the weekends and I party with friends (you said not to), and she was just concerned if I ever drove drunk, and I don't. She said she loved how straight forward and confident I was.

I think it went great, seriously. I surprisingly had a lot of fun doing presentations and planning my stuff.
 It's so exciting to get all of this out of the way! Such a load off. And it's a really good looking project, if I do say so myself.

Update: 4/13/2012

I realize my last blog post was quite immature and teen angsty. my apologies.
As much as I don't care about this project, like I stated before, I do care about
my general productivity level. I've began my board game, and mapped out most
of it. It is a Monopoly-based game, but instead of buying properties you're buying
measurements and amounts of drugs. All of the chance and community chest cards
are negative effects that are happening when mixed up with drugs. Free parking will
essentially be kicking your addiction for the time being. etc, etc. This game is meant
to be informative to the serious issue of addiction, and inform with information about
the drugs themselves.

I guess my title is Agent Varner, being a DEA agent. The idea of Capstone is a good one; to research thoroughly into your field of study and expand on it beyond most projects and topics. I personally have found quite positive experience from this project, as much as I hated it.The negatives are that kids aren't going to take this kind of project seriously. I know probably 10 kids off the top of my head that actually have a viable and important project. Every single senior is pulling a project out of their asses to satisfy this grade. Including me. The only thing I care about is actual knowledge, which I have received from the research I've done for my project. But the project itself I could care less about. I don't care about the poster, video, website (although the website is pretty cool), and especially the final product. All-in-all, this class just makes our Senioritis worse and pisses us off. We're already seniors, we're already mad at the education system, and we're ready to get out of here. Don't give us this bullshit. It should've been given when we were juniors, if anything.
