Argh I choked!
I totally choked when giving my presentation today. When I practiced it at home, my presentation always turned out to be exactly 20 minutes. That is perfect because my presentation was supposed to be 17-20 min. There was a time keeper, but there was no clock I could see. The time keeper just help up a sign when I had 10 min left, 5 min left, and 0 min left. Everything was going good till I see him flash the 10 min sign. I thought I was going too slow so I sped up, but then I finished my presentation in 14 min. SUCK MONKEY!
My professor told me after class that I gave a really good presentation and I was not going to be discounted much for not filling the alloted time. But still, lame!
And what is up with having to fill the entire time anyway? I understand about not wanting to go over time, but under? I mean if I was at work and I called a meeting and I finished early, everyone would cheer cause you got to get out of the meeting early!
Anyway.... I have posted my research paper and my presentation in my downloads section (for those with no lives and that want to look at them: Software Branch Prediction).
