Calm seas after the storm

haha. I just thought that title was very appropiate for today. I have finally arranged a date and time for 'our' presentation. It is in the week where everyone said they don't want to do it, most of them anyway. I hope they have prepared enough. I just need a calm night then I am sorted, which might be impossible - in that case a few nights.

I couldn't concentrate on any big project last night. I really need to find ways of calming myself down quicker. It is really taking too long for the calmness to come back when I finally released the beast. Sometimes I feel more than I should and release less than necessary. It can be tiring. Then with my direct personality; my mum reminded me last night of how tiring that will be; I have to be more than ready to take any criticism and disrespect face on.

I noticed how much I can take on if I suddenly became team leader. It was harder in this presentation sense as all of us were equals. Yet, if I didn't take on the role I wouldn't have known what I can do and what I should do. So, all in all, it was a nice outcome.

Just to update on this, we finally did the presentation on the 7 March 2007. We were double-booked, meaning that we were doing it with another group. We got roughly 7/10 while the other group got 6/10. hahaha, I am so proud of my team. We looked so professional and the preparations really worked. It was fantastic and really upstaged the other group. wohee! Who says working together from the beginning wouldn't work. It was funny that we were still discussing it half an hour before we presented it while the other group just sat around. hahaha. I had been really happy about it for some time too. Then just to be thanked for organising it all was a fantastic bonus too. hahaha....I really should go to bed.
