Due to a dumb error in class taking, im stuck taking 1 class this semester for my degrees, and that class is public speaking. As the title suggests, it involves writing and giving speeches in front of the class. For this particular one we give 4 speeches. People always figure i will be great at this, since i a) talk a lot, and b) can talk a lot about 1 subject pretty much off the top of my head. This is normally true, but for some reason, when the whole room is silent and focused on me, i break down. My voice stammers, i talk excessively fast, and my stomach does backflips.
My professor has told me this, and i still try to fix things, but i seem to not get it right. My Nintendo presentation went fine, except that even when talking extremely fast, the presentation ran 8 minutes long, which was well over the 3-5 minute limits =\
Todays ran 5:03, in which i discussed Steam (Valve program). Ironically i had to change my presentation at the last second, because i had a whole section for security, and lo and behold, my account got hijacked over the weekend. This is also leading to me not being able to play steam games, so im bored as fuck for now.
Oh well, only 1 more speech to go, and it's a group speech.
