The talk is now over and done with - yay! It was ok. 11 people came, which was more than I expected, given the numbers for the last few talks, but it was definitely manageable. Fortunately I didn’t get that constricted feeling in my chest, but I could hear myself talking quite quickly (a few people mentioned this on the evaluation form). Whatever - it’s over now and hopefully I won’t have to do another one!

In devastating news, I put a tiny scratch on my PDA today >:| GRRRRR! Time for a screen protector. You can’t really see it unless you’re specifically looking for it, but I was immensely pissed off all the same. If I get a new model sometime, I’ll make sure to put a protector on it first thing!
