Ah! yes I did my presentation, it went ok-ish, it doesn't matter, what matters is that "it went" and our trainer ASSURED us that there wont be no more presentations till sometime later. Hah! you'd think. Of course this was too good to actually happen, and he decided it would be alot nicer if we give our presentations earlier. To make a long story short. I have a presentation TODAY :(
It's ok, don't worry, I'm just fine - Italian job fine (Freaked-out, Insecure, Neurotic, and emotional) - but at least this time I'm holding back on the hysteria.
Being an optimistic person as I am, I've decided to stop worrying (HaHAHAHHA) and just think logically, "So what's the WORST that could happen" I thought. Now I have covered all the fall-flat-on-the-face, ssstuttetter, ..etc. situations earlier, so I'll just think of the more important sides to the matter. I could fail - I know it's hard to believe ME failing!!! - but I could fail. ssssoooooo wwwhhhatttt, as told by the wise Ahmed Mekky. No really, SO WHAT? I had a nice (?) experience, met interesting people, gave three presentations, but most importantly, I discovered options. what do I mean? ok, now the good thing about talking to people is actually listening, one of the girls was saying that she freelances translation to Iqraa channel, really? why didn't I think of that before?? well it's ok, now I am so it's an option, a potential path. Another was talking about a speed reading course she took before - we have that here? mmm I wonder what other sort of weird courses can I find in Egypt? such things too would be interesting to explore.
What else could happen? obviously, I could pass. Now, this is supposed to be the bright side of it, although I'm not entirely sure, cause - to my surprise - passing means that you will have to actually stand infront of a bunch of people and teach them English, which is something I never thought of when I applied to the English Instructor position!! (I know, no comment, but it's true)
So, I'm actually a little better today, my heart is only beating from chest to neck - that's an improvement cause last time was from stomach to nose, so give me that. I don't know I'm even feeling a little cheery, maybe it's all the self-help books I've been reading (self-help: author help himself get rich) though I doubt it, cause I have an anti-motivational talk attitude. Oh yeah I remember, it's the "What the worst that could happen" technique. Yeah, so that's my advice to all the optimistic, life-is-a-cookie sort of people. IT IS NOT, but what the worst that could really happen!
