I finally did my report! It was supposed to be last Tuesday but my professor went overtime with her lecture so I couldn't report but I finally was able to do it a while ago. ^^ I was nervous at first but I was feeling so hungry that instead of thinking about my nervousness, I could only feel my hunger! And as I was reporting, the nervousness faded so fast that all the things I have studied and researched all came flowing into my mind and all the reviews I made, paid off. I did not even need to look at my notes often. I was just holding it while I kept on talking. ^^ And I think I did just fine. My professor was even surprised with some of the things I presented which she haven't encountered before according to her. Now all I have to do are my written reports! ^^

Congratulations Secretbear! See it paid off! I am happy to read this. I guess you have to thank your stomach for being hungry that time because if not you will get stress. Anyway, for sure, because of the time your professor gave to you, since you failed to have your report last Tuesday, you did study religiously your report. And it pays off. I am happy for the good news you shared. So i guess i will not disturb you for the meantime since you said you have to do your written reports.

I really did thank my stomach. I was planning to treat it with corn with margarine and salt but the sidewalk vendor was not there in their usual spot. .

I'm not sure if I feel lucky or anything grecy. I actually didn't know who he was. ^^ I didn't have any idea who was the coach of what team. My classmate only told me about it and she wanted to come and she asked me to go along with her. I think I've read somewhere that he'll be in Manila the coming week. ^^

Yes, drannhh! I have already finished my written report last Tuesday, the day I was supposed to report. I had to finish it that day because I thought I will be emailing it to my classmates that night. ^^ Next time I will get hungry again so I wouldn't be nervous! Thanks drannhh!!!!

Lol that's great to hear :D Sometimes it takes another feeling/emotion to overcome nervousness or fear. LOL! I remembered the first time I had my job interview. I was sooo nervous since I have to undergo a technical interview. Since the interviewer was in a meeting, I was told to wait. The office/reception area was so cold that I literally freeze. The time that I was interviewed, I was shivering LOL!

But shivering would only add to your nervousness! I mean, nervousness would only make you shiver more. Or being cold would only make you shiver more than you are already shivering because of your nervousness. Whatever!

haha, so next time if u go weak in the knees during presentation, it's not due to nervousness but hunger, secret?? lol :D WHen i'm hungry, that will make me more nervous instead because my limbs would be weak and i won't be able to concentrate well, or speak well too. I won't be as confident like u do SO i know now, if ever u feel nervous, i should starved u.. lol =D :P

Well good for you, you got it done with no problem. Most of the time you think your going to forget everything you read and researched, but once you get started it all comes back, and you do alright. I'm glad for you...

Good job, Keep up the good work. I'm working on a report right now, I took a little break. I'm not even a student. I have a report to submit to my insurance compay regarding my injuries and it's just taking a long time(2 hours) I'll be done in another hour if I don't take to many more breaks.
