As we speak, I'm sitting in a group meeting with three other members preparing a 20 minute presentation on the online dating industry.

Here's the thing: We have 2 weeks to throw this presentation together, I'll be giving ~7 minutes of it (by group decision), and everyone but me is freaking out. Granted, we need to make a PowerPoint, memorize the speech, have a polished hand-out for the audience and rehearse it a few times, but I really don't feel like we're in danger of doing poorly on it. I'm pretty talented at presenting to groups, we have all of the data we need, we just need to package it into a presentation.

I can't figure out why everyone is so nervous, and I'm getting irritated at how anxious my group is. We're ahead of every other group, dammit! We have nothing to worry about!!!
