So I managed to survive my linguistics presentation. I was really nervous while just speaking to the class but strangely enough once I hit the discussion questions I calmed right down, this despite the fact that for the first part I was just reading off a sheet while for the second I was actually making stuff up on the spot. Also, I don't think I did the best job ever at summarising but I figure my essay mark should balance out the crap presentation mark.

Also, this came up at work today: If I were to pretend that my particular brand of English was in fact a dialect of it's own (in line with Heinese), it would be called Jenglish :D

And now I try to find something constructive to do and tell my adrenaline-fired nerves to shut the hell up.
