history: I had to give a presentation at school. I gave a long_comma_ drawn out presentation at school the other day. I found the task to be very daunting. That sounds tough.  How do you think you did?
current: Horrible, my palms were sweaty the entire time. I hate talking in front of large crowds.
next: Me, too--I'm sorrry you had to go through that.  At least it's over now, right?
