Upbeat News
Well, after my somewhat mixed impression of my presentation yesterday, several people who I thought were on the side of "who invited this girl?" have come up to me to say that they were thrilled with my presentation. Apparently, people were talking about it all evening, and it was one of the more thought-provoking sessions. And I was even complimented on my "strong presentation style" and remarks were made about "how brave you were to invite disagreement!". Clearly, they didn't see my knees knocking together and a rather warm, sweaty sheen on my body towards the end of the Q&A.
So now I'm much more cheerful about the whole thing. One of the organizers who sat in on my talk even asked me to come back next year!
Now, I'm sitting in the hotel lobby, trying to work on a writing project before its time to get back to the airport for my flight home. The weather here has been gorgeous and I have my fingers crossed that it will be just as sunny and warm in D.C. for this weekend.

Hey! I've been away from your blog for a week or two now and am just catching up on it over coffee this rainy Saturday morning. I'm very happy for you - your presentation sounded great! (I was especially pleased to read Kevin's glowing comment.) I read the entry aloud to Ro and he essentially echoed Kev's comment...and mumbled something like "I should call Jen...I've been meaning to call Jen." -Amy
