Today is finally over!! One of the worst presentations that I ever had to do... on Cancer and Angiogenesis. All we had were chunks of review articles and we had to dig out every important piece of information and prepare the slides in less than one week just for that 15-20 mins of fame. And we had to present on how new FANTASTIC drugs can be designed for future possible therapies. If I could design a FANTASTIC drug, I wouldn't be sitting here in class okay? HAHA...
But still, it is a huge relieve that the presentation was over. Apparently I hid my nervousness quite well because the topic coordinator told me that I did well and I seem well-prepared (well-prepared my foot lor).
And I got a shock before the first group started the presentation. Because this is the first time ALL the tutors sat in for the presentation... Imagine the tremendous amount of stress all 10 presenters had. And the guy in the group after me was so nervous that he totally forgot what he wanted to say for like 3 minutes. There was a totally awkward silence in the lecture theatre and I guess he must have felt very bad. He was even telling me over lunch that he felt like a weakling who can't handle pressure.
But then I'm so proud of myself, I did the whole Powerpoint thingy myself! My partner doesn't know how to use it -__-". I think Europeans don't really like to use computers to do their presentations? Most of them either printed out on transparency sheets or they just display their artistic talents on the white board.
I must also thank my PBL group and my 2 tutors for the great encouragement they gave the day before during the PBL session. It felt quite good, with a little stress of cos, when your tutors tell you, "Good job the both of you, we look forward to your presentation tomorrow." HAHA...
But yeah, it's all over... Till the next presentation... I hope I get an easier one the next time round.
