Bad- I felt embarrassed and on edge in my early class today, and I'm afraid everyone noticed.

When the fellow asked me if I'd like to play in a tournament this is how it went
Me (out loud)- Well, I'm not sure if I'll have the time, I'm a master's degree student.

Me (in my head) - damn that sounded pretentious- why didn't you just say you were a student? Why did you have to tell him you are pursuing a master's degree? (I'm pursuing a master's degree).
I have those reflective moments too, where I think "I should have said something else instead." I think what you said was fine. You might benefit from learning to be more compassionate toward yourself.
