Update (January 12, 2010): So I did the presentation. My mouth dried like hell and I was stuttering a bit, but both my teacher and some of the students commented that it was pretty good.
I failed the last geography test, so I'll have do a presentation tomorrow about population to get my grade up. I hate doing presentations, standing in front of the white curtain (what do you call that?) and talking constantly. The lights are dimmed and my mouth dries while speaking. No, not because I'm thirsty, it's because I'm nervous. My heart pounds as I realize 16 pairs of eyes turned towards me.
I did two presentations (not about geography) so far this year and both went pretty well. They even applauded me for my second one, although the reviews stated that my body language and eye contact were lacking. I hope this one will be just fine, and enough to make me pass the first term.
I'll try to keep it as short as possible because my first presentation was way too long... Halfway through the presentation I already realized people sighing and feeling bored.
I just presented it to my family for practice, it went well but I still have some more to memorize. Thanks to them I managed to correct many spelling and logic mistakes. I'll be going to bed shortly and will update this post tomorrow.
