5th blog, Critical thinking

This week's critical thinking presentation given by Dean Lubach struck a different vibe than all the other presentations we heard until this week. He began his lecture by addressing a seemingly common problem here at UCSB which is balance. He stressed the importance of learning to balance between school work and play, between work and study, and between junk food and fruits and vegi.  He was an extremely charismatic speaker and sprinkled his presentation with insights to his life, making his presentation feel more approachable and allowed me to connect with what he was saying.  One major distraction I fazed during his presentation was my fascination with the presentation tool which he used. I later found out it is called Prezi. The fluidity and dynamic movement through the slides helped me register different points he was making. Although did not completely agree with everything he had to say about critical thinking, especially what he had to say about certain religious topic, I enjoyed listening to him speak.  Regarding the library visit, I did something extremely embarrassing this week. I have INT95 at 10AM, but for some reason I showed up at 9:30AM thinking I was late, when I was actually extremely early. I still learned a lot about the way the library works, I just showed up for the wrong class. Now whenever I leave for the library, I always make sure I have my "Library Locations" sheet with me as it will come in handy when I look for that one obscure reference book.
