I had my second Rotary presentation tonight. Hugues had told me that I could talk about whatever I wanted. I originally thought I should do my life in France up to that point, but since I had to do the powerpoint in my Political-Science class the other week, I decided to choose the lazy route and not make extra work for myself.
It was nice because not only did Sabine, Christophe, and the Adamski's come, but Elise, Louise, and Marie from Spring Break came as well. There was also a futrue outbound going to Kansas named Paul.
I was a little nervous about my presentation to all of my Rotary club, and it didn't helped that half of the pictures on my powerpoint just decided to disappear for no reason. On the plus side, when I did give my presentation, everyone inserted comments, questions, and witty remarks that greatly lightened the mood. They even made fun of me a little bit, but in a teasing way!
After my whole schpeale had finished, we all sat down to eat. At one point in the evening, we were talking about weight gain, and I mentioned how I have an Indian friend who has lost at least ten kilos here. It was followed by the quote of the night given by seven year old Miss Louise Bultez. She said, "But the Indians, they don't exist anymore," with the most serious expression on her face. Have I mentioned how much I love little kids?
When we were leaving, Hugues mentioned how he thinks that I have changed. I am apparently more open and confident now. My secret? High heeled shoes. (I know my dad hates them, but it's true!) Even though I like being short most of the time, hight gives confidence, at least it does for me.
