Class reporting will start today and I'm the first one! What makes me more nervous is that I don't know my professor's expectation as well as my classmates'. I'm having butterflies in my stomach! 
And what makes me more nervous is that I drank coffee a while ago. It was too late when I realized that coffee can make a person more nervous.
I think I should have drank beer or alcohol, don't you think so?

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine :)
Coffee probably wasn't the best idea, haha. What I always do to try and calm me down is remember that the other students listening to you probably aren't judging you as harshly as you judge yourself. As long as you have all the information you need, are articulate, and pretend that you aren't nervous you'll be fine! Many time just thinking about being confident tricks your brain into believing it's more confident in that moment then you normally are.

Hi secretbear! I hope your report will turn out fine. I don't drink coffee specially if I'm nervous since it makes me more nervous. But at least coffee will makes you more alert and not sleepy during the presentation of your report. God bless!
