April 5

I tried to sleep in because I stayed up late. I even convinced myself that I deserved to sleep through my 9am tutorial... But then I decided at the last minute to get up, so I rushed out the door and off to class. I'm the only one that speaks up in my tutorial. So after I answer a couple questions, then I go silent because I think, I've answered enough, other people can answer these! My 2nd class started out with a photo of Michael Phelps, which was distracting to say the least. That professor always seems to go off tangent and never discusses things that are really important. Oh well..

My third class of the day is my big presentation day! The professor talked for an hour (ironically about anxiety of waiting) and then my friend Jane did the first presentation. She did very well! Then a 2nd person who I didn't listen to at all because I was too nervous for my own! Then I was up and I had Karey click the power-point slides so I didn't have to worry about it. I didn't look at the clock, but I did keep looking at the slides whenever I got nervous. My heart was pounding soo hard and I was hoping that I wasn't blushing. I spoke clearly and about 2/3 through, I saw my group mate and she was nodding and smiling (like "Yes, she's doing so well!"), that's when I stumbled a bit because I was like, oh god, I'm doing well, don't mess up! I didn't make it clear that it was ending, so when it was over, I kinda just started to walk away and then everyone clapped because it was over. But overall I did great. Then we had another hour of lecture. After class the professor told me that I did really great and I tried to deflect by saying "Oh, I spoke too fast!" And he said, "No, no, it wasn't because you speak English well. It was because you hit all of the main points from the article!" Again, I tried to be modest and say "Well, our article seemed like it was pretty easy to grasp the key concepts." But he said, "Well you'd be surprised. Some other groups had easy articles and didn't get the main points!" So, that's excellent news! I just hope the other part of the group work will be good as well so that we get a good grade!!!

On the bus home, I was feeling pretty good, but suddenly with my hands on my lap, I felt the ridges of my zipper and realized with great shock that my fly was down... OH MY GOD! How long has it been open?!!? I went to the bathroom just before my presentation, so that means - it was down for my entire speech in front of 100 students!!  How embarrassing! Luckily my shirt was a bit long, so I think it may have barely covered it. JEEZ! Oh well, you have to laugh!! Guess you can't take life too seriously. haha!

When I got home, I skyped with my boyfriend then worked on assignments until late.
