I have a long, long presentation in one of my classes today and I am SO NERVOUS I CAN'T HANDLE IT! AHHHHH! I can sing karaoke and play guitar in front of people but presenting is impossible and I know what I have to talk about through and through. Anyone else here HATE PUBLIC SPEAKING? Any tips? :::shiver:::

You're already properly prepared, so that shouldn't be the problem. Focus on a point over the heads of the people you speak to, so you don't actually have to look people in the eye and maybe you can pretend you're performing instead of presenting. Make it more fun than it is. I don't know if it could be of any use to you, but I definitely wish you good luck!

Thanks both of you! YIKES! It's drawing near, almost 2 hours... that's a good point Erin, I will try to look toward the back of the room... and Megan I'll try to smile through my nausea haha.
I think I'll also blast some YAYM and sing like a fool in the car on my way <3
