I’d continue my posts about cultural identity but I have to be up in 4 hours to go to Navy pier to set up a presentation I’ve worked on for almost 3 weeks now and I’m so nervous and wired my hands are shaking.
Technically, I’m a professional now (I’m getting paid for this, after all) and I shouldn’t worry, as most of my coworkers view my output as something approaching magic– they offhandedly mention things they wish could happen, and sometime later I deliver to them something like their desires, but better in ways they didn’t know could be so. But I can’t help it. I’m ridiculously nervous. I’ve prepared and prepared and prepared and covered every base and worked far beyond the call of duty to make sure every pixel is perfect, every snippet of text aligned, every transition and effect subtle, tasteful and appealing. And I still don’t feel I did enough.
Two days ago, I was worried about getting up at 4.30am. Now, I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep.
Wish me luck.
