[Applause] My hands are tingling and I can feel my palms starting to be a little bit sweaty. And there's energy or heat moving from my stomach all the way up to my head and to my forehead. My heart is beating quite a lot faster than it was like 20 minutes ago.My mouth is also pretty dry. And there are thoughts saying something like, "What are you doing here? Maybe you should get out." And all these sensations that I'm describing to you, they can probably be summarized as something like nervousness or being ...
