"Shaking" Presentation

Today is our turn (me and Priya) to present in Ms S's class. The presentation should be on last Friday, but due to some circumstances (very long story) the lecturer had postponed it for us. The fear of this presentation had already conquered us since the day she announce that we're going to present another presentation of the case study. Why? Because we'd already being "shoot" to death during the previous presentation. We had been given 2 days to prepare for this and in my case, 4 (2 more days during the weekend), she will be having a higher demand on the quality of the work. Well, what we need to do we already did. so we just leave our fate to the lecturer.
May's group presented first, and Ms S commented on a few things (she's much more nicer compared to last week). I'm already shaking in my place, waiting for our turn. Yeah, at last is US. Surprisingly, she praised us (attn:first slide only). Hmm..good start. My hands and legs are still shaking when Priya is presenting. I wonder whether they notice it or not. When Priya successfully presented her part without the lecturer interfering, it's my turn. Damn! I can't even talk properly. But at last I go through it.
Surprisingly she didn't shoot us but say "Good, it's a very good presentation. I'm glad that you all had done a great job. I like the way you all presented it in a different angle, the slides may need some adjustment, but overall it's a very good presentation."
Our effort paid off after listened her comments. I guess that's the moment where I feel relieved the most after fearing for so many days. It's nice to hear that we're being praised on the work we had done, and it's actually the best reward of all.
Even though we're lucky this time, but I still hope that she won't ask us to do presentation so of often. And the best part is, Priya saw my hand shaking during the presentation (SHY!)
