I remember a class presentation years ago and I was bricking it. It was a marketing campaign type thing and I was trying to sell a hoverboard (I even made one - an old skate deck with a frisbee duct-taped on for a anti-grav plate and a card toilet roll for jet propulsion). Tried to make a funny presentation as I always relax when I know people ain't bored shitless by me. After the first laugh things just kinda came together. Since then I've been alright at speaking to groups, once you've got the first few words out you'll be fine Gal.
Had my first driving lesson for 6 months this morning. Went proper good, I didn't even crash into anything! Hopefully should only be a month or two until I can take my test

Whenever I have to present I try to remember that the audience knows the position you're in, most of them feel your pain and the vast majority want you to do well. Unless you're hopelessly boring they'll be appreciative.
Good luck!

I did some teaching at the uni last year and stuttered like scat man all the way thru.

Camper van? Nooo, take a MK2 Golf GTI, unmodified to the fest. You'll be fighting them off with a shitty stick.

Thanks for your words of encouragement guys, they really helped. I actually got an 88, just 2 points shy of an A. I'm just glad it's over
