Closing Arguments

We are doing our closing arguments this week in Criminal Trial Practice, at least some of us are. We are having 2 guest speakers first, so we won't have time for all 14 of us to give our 10 minute (max) presentations in the leftover time. I am SOOOO excited about mine. I think I have a really good concept in my presentation and can not wait to give it. It is going to kill me if I have to wait until the following week to do it.

It's funny because back at the beginning of the semester when we were doing our opening statements, I just wanted to go first because I was nervous and wanted to get it over with. Now I want to go first because I'm so excited that I can barely contain it. It's strange too, because I have written out my outline for notes for it, and am working on my visual aids, but I haven't practiced actually saying it yet. I'm more leaning towards doing what the professor told us to do at the beginning of class and not over-rehearse. I'm sure I'll practice it at least 2 or 3 times, but I doubt I will do it over a dozen, like I did for my opening.

Either I'm definitely pursuing the right direction for me for my career, or I'm a total nerd to get so excited about this. (Well, maybe it is some of both!)
