Presentation = not terrible

Today, I had a presentation to do at ODE on digital tools for collaboration.  I had somehow put it out of my mind all weekend, which was good because I didn’t worry about it… until last night when I remembered and then had a terrible night’s sleep.  And all morning at work, as I was trying to get other things done, I was worrying about my presentation.  I was all tense and nervous, but by the time I had to present I had calmed myself down enough to do a fairly decent job.  I even had my voice shaking under control!  It helped that there were only about 8 people that showed up to the presentation, but even so, it wasn’t terrible.  My work friends that came even said I didn’t seem nervous!  I really like talking about this stuff, so maybe that helped too.  When it was over though, I got really tired.  The adrenaline from the nerves were no longer keeping me all twisted up and I felt like I need some food and a cot.  The cot never arrived, but it was no time before I was off to class.  Only one more long day for the summer and I am done for a while!

P.S.  I’m trying to stay positive, so I’m not going to tell you that the busride to school was so slow that I decided to get out and walk.  The second I stepped out, it started to rain and I was ten minutes late for class.  But, I’m not going to talk about that.  Almost done!
