whew, it's over

So the presentation came and went. And for the first time ever, I did not prepare any script. It was just pure notes in point form and whatever that came to my head at that moment. Granted I did practise my presentation once through at home, verbally out loud to myself, but that was about it. My voice quality improved slightly today; even though I was still croaking, but if I were a male frog, I would be able to at least attract some female attention, heh. The one important factor that made me feel comfortable speaking in front of the class was the fact that I was allowed to sit down. It was an informal presentation, so I utilised it to its best. Interestingly, my voice didn't quiver, and the more I spoke, the less my heart pounded. And I did enjoy sharing with the class my personal thoughts and views. The conclusion my tutor gave me was that my paper was rather bold in suggesting to do away with the WTO and I have to admit that that was partly the response I hoped to invoke, although I genuinely believed in my idealistic opinion. Ah well. At any rate, I'm glad it's over. Now to write my essay and tweak it a little.
