Hope all goes well

Tomorrow I am suppose to give an external presentation. I heard that the audience I would speak to are heads of home and one of my ex-university-lecturers would be present too. I think I am feeling the pressure. This is possibly one of the few times that I present in front of such an experienced group. I would think many of them have more experience than me, be it life or work. This is itself a pressure. I fear I may not live up to the expectations...

I hope I won't have to care and be bothered. Actually, there is really no reason why I should be feeling pressurised. Afterall I have prepared for the presentation, did a trial run with my supervisor, and I am more or less familiar with the topic of the presentation. I just keep my fingers crossed that all would be fine.

I think I dread having to socialise with the audience after the presentation. It is possibly considered basic social courtesy to do so at this part of the world, but this can prove to be more draining for me than giving the presentation.

Anyway, I shall coax myself that things will go fine. Afterall, I have prepared sufficiently well for it. It's my imagination at work, making me feel the pressure. And I am trying to keep myself contained. Hope all goes well, please keep your fingers crossed for me. Thank you.
