What just happened?

Last night I had to present a chapter for my political science class. I have an extreme dislike for speaking in front of people, especially when I'm forced to talk about something I'm not passionate about. So, as I was getting ready for class I noticed a little bottle of cranberry juice in the fridge. Mmmmm, I thought to myself, I could add a little vodka to that and then maybe speaking in front of people wouldn't be so bad. As it turns out it helped- a little. I still did a horrible job. There was one of those moments where I tried to look away from my notes and completely lost my train of though and the room grew overwhelmingly silent as everyone looked at me. My face was probably close to being purple it was so red. I think I even mumbled to myself. I really don't remember how the rest went, I probably blacked out from all the blood that had rushed to my head. But because of Mr. Vodka, I didn't sweat or have an anxiety attack before hand.

* I just wanted to add that I totally made a smart ass comment in class before my presentation that made everyone laugh- ahhh, the power of liquid courage.
