Presentations

Today was the first of the two day course I said I was going to have, since the course is to form new instructors we had to present ourselves in front of the group, it have been so much time since I had to make a presentation about anything, last was my thesis back in 2009, and since then, nothing.

When I got into college I was pretty bad at doing presentations and expositions, I got nervous most of the times, but little by little I got better at it. And it was much more easier doing it with people I knew, but even when there was no one around I was still good. Most of the times I had good reviews from my teachers and classmates, and the usual "you talk to fast" and a problem with my voice, but other than that, it was good.

But today, it was awful, and to make things worse, I (and my classmates) was filmed, I was so damn nervous, I lost my breath, forgot what I was going to talk about, talked to low... I sucked. Like mid course we had to do another presentation, but this time I had more time to prepare, and I even helped some friends making their presentations (we used power point as visual aid).

This time, it was fucking awesome, I even got to improvise in this presentation since my subject was too short  and I had a time limit, neither too short nor too long. Still I had some minor errors, but it was so different than the other one. I still feel nervous when there is new people around, but most of the times I get along with them, but when I have to get in front of people... I freak out. I know this isn't going to be easy, but I wan't to get rid of this anxiety.

I'm falling sleep, so I will stop right here :P
