I'm taking public speaking this semester, and today we gave our first speeches. We each introduced a classmate, using info taken from interviews conducted last Thursday. So other people were giving their speeches, and it was almost time for me to give mine, and I felt nervous. As in, my legs felt like jelly, my heart rate was elevated, and my mind kept sprinting through my notes, reciting key facts. No matter that the speech was ungraded, no matter that everyone there was doing it for the first time.
Finally, it was my turn to go. I walked up and delivered my speech while ignoring the fact that my hands were as awkward as sausages and I kept needing to look at my notes. It really wasn't as bad as the waiting had been. Go figure. So that hurdle is over with, so...onto the next one.
