Why?

Last night I had the honor to be a guest speaker 

at a Medill graduate journalism class 

to talk about recent "Insights, Discoveries & Developments" 

within the social media market research 

and tech-start-up environments. 

{insert deep breath here}

All was going really well, 

the class seemed super into the presentation, 

peeps were asking great questions, 

and out of absolutely no where, 

I burped!

Like, the loud kind. 

Completely totally unexpected.

Surprised the shit out of me, kind. 

And I couldn't stop laughing.

The class must have been like,
"Who is this crass woman?!?!"

But thankfully they all laughed too,

so I was able to make a joke of it and move on. 

But I still can't believe it happened. 

I never burp!! 

So whhhyyyy did one sneak up on me like that 

in front of all those crazy smart people?!?

Note to self: 

Do not chug a Diet Coke to help caffeinate prior to presenting. You are an idiot for thinking this would "enhance" performance.  Next time, oh wait, there likely will not be a "next time"... Hahahaha
Oi!
