I wrote the speech. It's 500 words long, although what that translates to speaking time, I don't know. This is especially true because I don't intend to read it. Speeches are meant to be spoken, and I hate when people just read.

And I'm completely nervous now. Agggh!

speechifying

Most people speechify at about 100 words/minute. If I'm presenting a paper, then a single page double-spaced is about 2 minutes.

Good luck!

Five minutes, then. Good. That's exactly the right amount of time. It's two pages long, but that means nothing - it's in 20pt TNR. I want to be able to glance, you see.
