after all these years you would think i'd be used to taking finals and doing presentations...
you'd think.
stage fright? who me?
i hate standing in front of people because i can feel the flush creeping up my neck hitting my cheeks my ears and i know i look stupid and my voice begins to shake but if i just stand up here and read off my script but glance up and make eye contact all at the same time without losing my place and staying focused but don't focus on anyone like imagining they are all naked but that's gross so i stare at the paper and my face gets hotter while my hands start to shake in time with my voice so just clear your throat and get on with it already because you are almost there and almost done but don't forget to keep advancing the slides because that will just make it worse like you don't know what you are doing because really you don't and you start to realize that marketing probably involves a lot of this kind of presenting and talking and pitching and you don't know what you got yourself into but hey look its the last slide so one more deep breath and hit enter and read....
shit. i lost my place. but got through it alright. not actually that bad.
