Haha, here's a funny story that kind of ties into booking a hotel room to get school stuff done. Since I spoke about the move I just made lower in this thread...we stayed one night in a hotel since the move was so far and we didn't feel like setting up beds and things late at night. I decided to try and knock out my Public Speaking speech while at the hotel the next morning because there was decent wifi and I wasn't sure exactly what day the internet company would be at the new house to hook up our internet. My wife was a gem and took the kids down to the pool so I could do the speech without interuption. I was about 7 minutes into recording my speech when the maid starts knocking on the door. I went into a panic that the noise would be audible on the video and froze. After a couple seconds the knocking stopped and I decided to try to finish the speech, even with the awkwardness. Five seconds later and BAM...the door opens and the maid comes in and is all embarrassed and starts speaking super fast and loud and I'm just sitting there with the video rolling trying to calm her down. I'm in Latin America so she was a Latin lady speaking spanish and I think we have all heard a Latina go off when they are embarrassed or upset lol. So needless to say I ended up restarting my speech. Your mention of the quiet hotel room just reminded me of the story and how funny I thought it was.
