Trying something new

Tomorrow I have to give a presentation on global warming. But since my system went out of kilter, so I could not study anything about it.

I am feeling very nervous because of it. However, I will keep on preparing the presentation and when I will feel that my nervousness is exacerbating, I will get back to you so that I can freshen up my mind.

You might have noticed that I have not provided the meanings of the aforementioned words and idioms. This is because a candid reader very thankfully pointed out that it is disturbing to read the meanings interlaced in the post, so I settled on furnishing them at the bottom of this post. Well, I am trying something new, and I wish that you will enjoy it.

Alternating between the presentation and this post is enjoyable!

Last night I planned that I will be up early in the morning so that I can give sufficient time to the presentation. Yes the same planning; but I had not slept properly since two nights so previous night I slept like a log - and now I am pacing well behind the time!

I am getting a presentiment that I won’t be able to give the presentation properly. This is partly because it is a graphical presentation to which I am very new. I am afraid I have to cut short this post to focus more on the presentation lest tomorrow I will be fishing in troubled waters!
