Nervous

There are a lot of important things happening today, but the one I have to concentrate on for the moment is the group that is coming here to the office this afternoon for a reception and a presentation on the ministry of our center. An hourlong presentation which I have to give in German. Eee.

This is certainly not the first time I've done this kind of presentation, but it is the first time I have done it without my bosses, in German, for an all-German group. My knees are knocking and my wrist is shaking as I write myself crib notes to fall back on in case my nice German words should fail me. Yikes, the butterflies.

In a while I will take a break from the preparations, try to switch off the nervousness for a while and let a whole new set of emotions swamp me as I help Heather drag her suitcases to the train station. She leaves today. :-( (You will, of course, be hearing more about this later, with photos.)

Back to the regularly scheduled nervousness.
