For those that don't remember or didn't know, I've been living in Québec for about ten months (with my family) to learn French. A couple days ago, I had to present a five-minute song analysis in French class. I spent a lot of time on it, and didn't finish the written portion without help. I was feeling fairly nervous, since I got laughed at during the last presentation I made (which wasn't terribly well done).
This time, however, I didn't feel too nervous the day I had to present. I asked to go first, to get it over with as quickly as possible. To my surprise, I made it through without my knees knocking together, no one laughed, and got 96% to top it off, so I'm pretty happy (it helps that my usually cranky teacher was in a good mood).
