Ah damn it. You've just reminded me I need to do talking tomorrow :/

As long as I've got their names and where they're from I'll be fine. Besides introducing them and where they're all from, all I have to do is introduce myself and do a shortened version of the acknowledgement of country. I have the option to do whatever else I want provided it's within the time, but as long as those are all done I'm golden

Rather counter-intuitively I struggle more with speaking when I'm reading a script than when I'm ad libbing it. I struggle with memorising things and reading ahead so if I have a script my eyes will be glued to the paper, where as if I just talk for myself based off a loose collection of ideas I just sorta know what to say

Addenda: create yourself a persona for presenting. Don’t need a costume, just an attitude. You can do this!

I did actually buy fancy clothes to wear, so I will be costuming. But I certainly have an attitude so I guess I have both
