Okay double post for Monday and Tuesday!!
Tuesday was the designated day for me to give my BIG (not really) presentation to the Children's Medical & Research Foundation staff about the work I've been doing with social networking sites and how they can use them. Sooooo Monday was spent preparing like mad! I really just worked the whole day and got back around 8:30. I went and hung with Helene and Kelsey for a bit, then went to bed early.
The presentation was today! And it went really well. There were other people presenting, like Edel and Joe, and Sarah and I went at the end. Even some of the doctors from the research centre came over to speak! I was pretty nervous and intimidated, but I think it all went well.
After it was over I went home a bit early, but the bus got stuck in a traffic jam caused by a car and motorbike accident, so I had to walk pretty far. By the time I finally got home it was normal get home from work time and I was spent! I took a nap for what seemed like forever, but was actually only 15 minutes, then went for a run.
I ran for a super long time, I just had so much built up adrenaline from the day and stress from the past few weeks. It was still very light and the area I ran in was safe. The sidewalks were lined with big old trees and the houses were old brick.. just a beautiful scene in the fading day light. I went to the park for a little bit too, just to get myself beyond tired.
I returned, typed some blog, then Helene and Kelsey came over to my apartment for dinner. Helene cooked some pasta and noodles, which I will make in return for her on Thursday.
Now I'm just tired, but happy. I'm really proud of myself for getting up in front of people. It's something that you have to practice to get better at, though I hate it. I need to get into practice again for the school year and my new class :)
That's really all for today! Tomorrow I'm going to hang with Jimmy in Dun Laoghaire and go swimming in the sea! It's going to be cold! I'm so excited though!
