I am soo glad its over! finally! nervous is really an understatement about how i felt before my presentation, speaking infront of a small group of people is not the main problem but speaking infront of an intelligent woman who knows practically everything about the topic i'm doing is nerve wrecking....and yes that person is my nutrition and nutritional biochemistry lecturer...Dr Jill Sherriff. She's the best lecturer ive known so far, she knows her stuff, very down to earth, quite approchable and very willing to help but whenever you say something wrong she'll give that smile and look only a mother can give to a child when theyve done something wrong...n makes you go (oh oh...i think i'll stop talking now) or some people may call it intimidating...intimidated by her intelligence...now you how i felt right before the speech.
Half an hour before my presentation i was still at home suffering from a major panic attack because i couldnt work out what i was gonna wear...(i know pathetic...i could see some people rolling their eyes now) but it says on the sheet to dress professionally...i was gonna wear this dress that looked quite formal but it just didnt looked right....so i put on this white short sleeved button up top tucked into this black A- line skirt that i havent worn in 2 yrs...i asked for mum's opinion...she said very bluntly " yeh it looks good...you looks like a waitress with the whole black and white thing" judging by my facial expression she quickly added "nah its good, you look like proper a uni student now"whatever that's suppose to mean...she prob said it cos she could tell I wasnt very pleased with her 1st comment...After that i thought maybe a high waisted pencil skirt would be a better idea...but mum said the A line skirt is better...so off i went putting the other one on again...you can imagine the state of my bed...and the word messy is an understatement! To de-waitressise my outfit i decided to add some accessories- long necklace, black patent belt and black peep toe heels...i feel quite confident in it...that'll do...cant be stuffed wasting more time on it...not forgetting to grab my little USB and my speech off the table as i dash into my car..after all that the most important thing isnt it?
The walk from woop woop aka hockey stadium to building 400 was hellish due to the combination of adrenaline rush, butterflies in my stomach, holding down my skirt before i start flashing everyone and the heat was just unbearable. But luckily the whole presentation wasnt overly formal...it was pretty casual so i was fine once i got up and started to speak....i was quite surprised i didnt get tongue twisted with the amount of "chromatography, erythrocytes, thiamin, thiochrome" in my speech...and Jill didnt ask me any questions or correct me at the end of the presentation like she did with some other people in class...so yes I am very very relieved and happy that its all done! I can move onto my next one biochem report! This one is based on the comparison of protein content in cow's milk and plant based milk...should be pretty easy :)
