Not very interesting

I went for a class today, which was really interesting. The debate was why some countries show fabulous growth and others with the same inputs don't. Loads of times when I felt like making a point, but then stayed silent as I would be taking student air-time, which would be wrong. Anyway, he threw a very interesting perspective on the issue and now I am waiting to lay my hands on the reading material.

But I think I am slightly mentally fatigued. We had the welcome week presentation today. Roo, Roosevelt, Kiwi had all made notes - Roo, in fact, was practically reading from notes. And I had decided to do an impromptu. As a result, I obviously forgot half of what I wanted to say. Learnings for the future - at least have bullets on the topics you want to mention. That way you dont wander. Also, I have to work on my stage fright. My eyes take on the look of a cat caught in the headlights of a car coming at 120kmph. Post presentation, we had the cocktails and that's when I realised that I am tired. I just didnt feel like interacting with anyone. Did catch up with a couple of people but only the ones that I felt like talking to - just didnt have the enthusiasm to push myself to go meet some new ones. Its ok - slow and steady......

Another issue, I guess, is that I am soooo tired of babies - every second person has two or is pregnant. So, the conversation is also centred around baby things - I think I will just start moving away whenever I see a waist over 28-30 inches.
