Imitation is the best form of Flattery?

Now that I think about it, I chuckle. We had quasi impromptu presentations earlier this week. In all of my excitement, I showed a classmate my title slide. "I don't like it, take it down," he said. Then he went on about if it were to be used, it would have been more appropriate for his team, but "he didn't like it" anyways... right? At that time he hadn't even created his presentation. So think about how I felt when he talked about how much the faculty loved his slides, then showed me..... he stole my idea! So as I thought about it more.... I probably looked like a fool when I presented and I was excited about my graphics. I was shocked and disappointed. Especially when this person was one of the people I felt closest to in this crazy cohort. My lessons learned, that probably isn't all that constructive???? If I have a great idea.... keep it to myself.
