Answer

Brief Explanations:

The original sentence has redundant "only seven days prior to the big event" as "a week ago" already conveys the time - frame. The second option simplifies the sentence by removing the redundancy while keeping the key elements about being amazed and worried about the presentation.

Answer:

It amazes me that a week ago I was worried that my camp presentation would be a flop.
