Public speaking!

I am blogging straight from the classroom, fresh off from my public speaking speech! :P

I stayed up every night and for the last few days, it has taken over my life.

My topic; Twitter.

Today started very bad. Missed the train, and the bus was late.
As a PRO procrastinator, I even did one last part of my presentation at the last minute.
I ate at the cafeteria alone 30 minutes before the speech and spilled rice all over my shirt and pants. FML. A loner and a clumsy, trust me, NOT a good combination.

Before the speech, there was a tiny bit of nervousness. My heart was beating like crazy.
I was always like that, before the speech I wasn't nervous, but during the speech I'll be shaking.
And adding twists to this day, the classroom where I'll be presenting was starting to fill with other people, not just my classmates because my lecturer invited anyone to come.

Since I was 2nd to present, I had more audience than the 6th presenter :P
Thanks to my parents for naming me a name starting with A I always had to go first since primary school.

During the speech,
I was surprisingly NOT nervous! I WAS FEARLESS OKAY. WOOOOHHH. I did eye contacts with the audience. My original speech was almost 12 minutes long, when the time allocated was only 5 minutes. I had to delete some of the slides, which I worked hardly on. During the forth minute, I'm almost done and only left with the conclusions. The timing was perfect.
The only flaw was that my pie chart, which was hand drawn, I almost forgot to put up -__-

After the speech,
I FELT AWESOME.


But in the end, I only got 19/25. Lecturer said I was speaking too fast.
:( :(
I am now depressed.


Oh well.
