I am taking an accelerated one-month long public speaking class. I am doing it this way because I wanted to get it over with quickly and I figured there would be less people in the Maymester class. I was right to assume there would be less people (There are 11 including me), but I was wrong to think it would make the class easier.

Today we had to get up and give our first speech. We only had to get up in front of the class for 2 minutes, but it seemed like an eternity for me. I knew it was going to be bad when I watched the others speeches and even they seemed to drag on and on. F*ck! The whole experience was really awkward and nerve wracking for me. I'm shy/introverted and would gladly step in the ring with the most badazz MMA fighter if I could get out of taking this class. As it is, I have to take this class to graduate so I have to soldier on. However, i'm going to hate every d*mn second of it. We will have to get up in front of the class for 8-10 minutes on Monday, and I thought 2 minutes was agonizing. I've never had a panic attack, but I wouldn't be surprised if I do before this class is over.

It gets better. I used to be the same way.

I love it. I just go in front and say whatever the **** I want. The content does not matter, I have never bothered about the content. It's the impact and intensity that matters, no half-hearted **** . I just go in front and let it rip, I give my all.

I made a B. My grade wasn't as high because this particular professor placed a lot of emphasis on visual aids. I am not artistic, so I didn't do well in that area.

There's nothing wrong with getting a B.

You can't always get an A.

All of my summer classes are over as of today. I'm relieved.

Correction, I actually made an A. I just looked at my upgraded transcript. I guess I sold myself short by being sure I had made a B.
