First presentation

So I presented for the first time yesterday. It did not go well.

To start with, my brief for the case, which I was inevitably called on to present, was crap. Like crappy crap. I might as well have not even had a brief with which to present. I had chosen that case to not include a fact pattern in my brief and to half-ass my issue. As a general theme, my brief was insufficient. FAIL.

To make matters worse, my brain chose yesterday to suddenly find my professor attractive. So being a man, and unable to help myself, I was perving mentally about said professor when I was immediately called on. I have confirmation that I was beet-red when I rose to present. Considering the possible outcomes that could have resulted from my fantasy romp, I consider only having to worry about my blush to be a victory. WIN.

I am hopeful that my next presentation will go far better. And if it doesn't? Well obviously I will just fake an inability to speak for the rest of my law school career. What other choice do I have?
