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!

Great job! It will get easier the more you have to speak in public. Congratulations!
