    You look after yourself. It does no one any good if you are too stressed/overwhelmed to fully enjoy the experience. I think an early exit sounds like the right strategy. Then you will be all systems go for Saturday/Sunday (if you feel like it). This should be a good experience for you - so take what steps to you need to, to fully enjoy the bits you do end up doing. It’s a very mature response to realise that the gas tank is empty, and that you need time and space to refuel.

Besides introducing them and where they’re all from, all I have to do is introduce myself and do a shortened version of the acknowledgement of country. I have the option to do whatever else I want provided it’s within the time, but as long as those are all done I’m golden

          Rather counter-intuitively I struggle more with speaking when I’m reading a script than when I’m ad libbing it. I struggle with memorising things and reading ahead so if I have a script my eyes will be glued to the paper, where as if I just talk for myself based off a loose collection of ideas I just sorta know what to say

        Addenda: create yourself a persona for presenting. Don’t need a costume, just an attitude. You can do this!

          I did actually buy fancy clothes to wear, so I will be costuming. But I certainly have an attitude so I guess I have both
