Well, I did decently, anyway. Better than I've ever done before, which is saying something considering how many people turned out for the final presentation. But I actually remembered every last word (though there were a couple pauses as I mentally tried to find my place), so all is good.
Of course, Nathan blew us all out of the water. While the rest of us are struggling just to remember where we are, he's doing stand-up comedy. One of the opening lines we could use for this speech translates "Today I'd like to talk to you about [FILL IN THE BLANK]." Nathan opened his speech with "Today I'd like to talk to you about government policy on global warming," and then added, "but I don't know anything about that." Then he went on to talk about the exciting parts of Tsuru (there are none; it's a country town :p).
Ironically, my speech was about how the internet is my lifeline home. After some arguments with tech support (translated by tutors, God bless 'em) and various test runs, I've determined that a glitch of some sort entered the system and is causing TUNET (and TUNET alone; a tutor who doesn't use the system isn't having this problem) from accessing anything Netscape related. Except for Netscape.co.jp, which makes sense, since it's located separately. Either way, they'll see what they can do and have asked me to check back one more time next Monday. Everyone keep your fingers crossed please.
