Talking

I figured I should post a requisite blog about how I felt after presenting for the first time. And I think its a lot of intimidation, but when its done, Its kind of fun. Its fun to drum up excitement about your work, and getting questions at the end is also actually more rewarding than not (provided they aren't pointed unanswerable ones that are antagonistic in nature).

As for my talk, personally I was still shaking from the adrenaline of it. I get nervous easily so I tended to start talking incredibly fast towards the end of my talk. And because of this I am not sure how well my gushing translated into the ideas, but I hope at least my slide presentation spoke for itself, and the listeners got something out of it!  Well anyway, I hope to be more comfortable about it at my next conference.

V.V., I happened to walk in during your talk and found it quite stimulating.
