Again , I wish I had had more time to enjoy that too . I spent the time practicing my presentation before passing out . The 4 + hour drive - much of which was in stop and go traffic - really wore me out after spending the afternoon outside . The conference itself was a bit disappointing . I got some good information , and really impressed the audience with my presentation , but I had hoped that the higher ups were going to be there to see it .

Question: Why does the narrator feel good about the presentation ?
Answer: They saw their friends crush the presentation .They practiced a lot .They saw the higher ups giving them rave reviews .They saw the approval from higher ups .
