Crazy week!
6
Tue, 11-01-2005 - 7:24pm

Things are going really well with my girl. We have agreed not to date anyone else because we want to get to know each other better and hopefully start dating. I might go down to Georgia to see her over my Christmas break from college. I'm not sure yet how I am going to get down there, though. I don't think I am going to drive, so I will probably end up flying. I'm not quite sure how I will pay for the plane ticket, though. I doubt that my parents will pay for it, but you never know. Maybe one of my friends will help me out.

In other news, I have been so busy this week that I just want to cry most of the time. I have two exams tomorrow, as well as a paper due. I also have a presentation on Thursday. I get so nervous for presentations. I have two other people helping me with this one, so at least I won't be up there alone. I am an appalling public speaker, though, so I always dread giving any kind of speech or presentation. I can't wait until this week is over!!!

I hope that the rest of you are doing well, and that you are having better weeks than I am!

Whew! You do sound very busy!
I hope you can visit you g/f.
I do stand up comedy and also have done alot of public speaking.
The one thing to remember is that when you are up there they expect you to speak so they already accept you by the fact that you are up in front of them.
Take deep breaths through your nose and exhale through your mouth. At the same time visualize yourself up there giving your presentation and everything going well.
Keep doing this at night, in the mornings or whenever. By the time you get up there you will be suprised at how well it goes. Just as if you have done it many times. Honest, try it.
And good luck with your presentation.
Hugs,
Laurie

Thanks for the advice about keeping calm during the presentation. It's really helpful, and I will definitely try it. I will keep you posted on what happens.
