Graduation Hi guys, sorry for my english. Yesterday morning I graduated and had to discuss my dissertation with a microphone in front of 5 professors and about 100 people (including my parents), and I nailed it, I stuttered just a few times. In the evening I went to dinner at a pizzeria with just family and friends, and couldn't say a word. Every sentence I would block, and had to drink some alcohol to ease my speech. What's frustrates me more is that it could hav easely gone the other way. I was lucky this time, but won't be forever. Just a rant. Stay strong, love you guys.
