Update: My professor approached me by the elevator a couple of hours after the presentation and he said "you didn't look nervous during your presentation"
I said, "Are you kidding? Of course I did."
He said, "Okay you're right, but not more nervous than the average person."
THIS IS A HUGE MILESTONE FOR ME!!! On my evaluation letter last semester, the department wrote that they were incredibly happy with my research, but that I needed to work on my presentation skills...that I have difficulty expressing my ideas...
And NOW no comment about my inability to present ideas, only that I was a little nervous. You do not understand how happy this makes me! I'm making progress...slowly but surely! |
