The day after

A tranquil morning after a nerve-wrecking day which was yesterday :-)

Finally did the biggest presentation for the year on the project we have been working on ever since the course started. Hm, a complex little thing. Being a year-long commitment I feel somewhat - sad, heavy-hearted - to not be able to see it till the very end despite the sense of relief and gladness upon being congratulated for a good presentation. Bitter-sweet.

Nevertheless the experience was genuine and really like no other.

In fact, I have never been that freaked out for a presentation before. Sure, the L'Oreal thing last year was a kill as well, but this one kills in a different way. While L'Oreal's appeared like a heart attack, this appeared like suffocation.

All the scientists, the industrial people, the lecturers, the coursemates.

"It is just like another one of those 5 mins update we always give. Only that this time there are more people and it is 20 minutes long", said a kind Chitra. But I couldn't help noticing her 'OMG' look throughout the whole session *sweat*

All in all, I am glad not cause it is over, but cause of the sense of achievement :-)

After handing in our 102 pages long report and down-ing the presentation yesterday, Chris officially said, "She's not my partner anymore, I have nothing to do with her," before commencing on his usual buffet of cereal bars, packeted fruit juice, apple, banana, fruit jelly and crackers.
