My very first blog!!! Now, let’s see what I should do with all those empty space in here. Mmmpppphhhhh….An hour later…Still thinking…Another hour later…Well, I could start from when I woke up. The alarm clock did not ring again, as usual. All I got from it was a muffled sound, something like beating a drum with holes on its surface. Still, thanks to my own body clock, I woke up and slam off the clock with its imaginary ringing. Maybe I shouldn’t treat it so harshly. After all, it had been serving me for nearly 3-4 years already, plus all those accidental crash on the floor. What? You don’t believe me? I swear, I don’t abuse alarm clocks! THEY abuse me! Anyway, its all those routine zombie-walking, bumping into wall, brushing teeth with half-opened eyes, etc, etc. However, today’s breakfast menu’s different. I had a piece of chocolate cake and a cup of cappuccino. Nice! I don’t usually have those for breakfast, but since today’s a special day, I need that high glucose, caffeine concoction, adrenaline pump.
The gate’s locked again! Crap, I had to walk all the way to the other end of the building just to get into my class, which means that I had to walk all the way back to the other end of the building on the second floor, near the locked gate, before entering my class. Sigh.
At the end of the second period, I was beginning to get worried. Where’s he? My partner and I are supposed to do a PowerPoint presentation today, but I still don’t see him! ABSENT!!!!!!!!????????? NO! I’ve prepared everything, done the entire typing job, and all he had to do was just to present his part of the presentation, and he chickened out at the LAST MINUTE???!!!!! THAT’S IT! I’m doing a solo job this time. Basically, all this time it’s just me, no we. Fine. On the other hand, this could the right time to execute Project Dragon.
The third bell rang, and it’s presentation time. After the laptop and projector were set up, I began. And what an unlucky start. The opening credits, perfectly timed in my computer, went haywired during the presentation. Well, at least my name could be viewed for that first few seconds.
It’s only the third slide when the teacher commented on my stutter. O great, the very one thing that I could not overcome. It’s not that I am nervous, (come to think of it, this is the first time I’m not nervous when talking in front of the class. So far, so good for Project Dragon.) but, maybe my adrenaline’s a wee bit too much. Maybe I shouldn’t eat that chocolate cake…nah. The intended jokes hit the spot, much to my relieve, the ideas and sentences flowed quite smooth (though with those stutterring, maybe its not so smooth) but I began to get a little panic when I present the part that my partner supposedly PROMISE to present. Still, I pulled it quite well, for an impromptu presentation.
Basically, I did quite well, even the teacher commented that the content was complete. However, he said my presentation skills are bad, marred by my constant fast-paced stutter. Well, one thing at a time. Project Dragon can be considered began with an explosive start.
