Am slowly and quietly panicky from my little corner. Tomorrow is
D-Day. I have done presentations on this topic before, in front of strangers, on home ground and overseas. I should not have anything to worry about. Yet, the audience tomorrow is different. They are experts from overseas, my peers and friends who will be listening attentively in support of me. Somehow, knowing who the audience are makes it more nerve-wrecking. Drowning myself with 2 movies in one afternoon is definitely not the solution either.
Tuesday is no better, though the audience will be smaller, I just realised that one of the moderators will be the chairman of the committee himself. I hope he shows mercy and not engage me in a discussion on odds ratio and confidence level.
And I just found out I'm on the list of faculty speakers! Wow......jeeps....more stress!
