I hate public speaking, too. I'm easily distracted and my worst enemy, Mental Block invades my mind and then I'd get panicky and my legs would start to wobble. I hate that feeling. Ugh!

Yep I know that feeling! I had to give a speech about the chuditch and the effects of fox baiting on it for a class. I stammered around every subject and actually forgot to mention what a chuditch was. The first question asked was "What is a chuditch?"Originally Posted by crystalmoonshin
Duh! Never again!

Things I should say to you
They got stuck somewhere
Stuck between me and you"
Oh well, one time already I had index cards prepared and I never got to use them coz while out there in front, I gave in to panic that I forgot to take a look at my cards. Talk about being stupid! I looked like a total idiot trying to think of words to say while a deafening silence was all around. Yikes!

I just finished my next to the last assignment. I haven't even started the last one and it's due on Tuesday. Man I don't want to even look at it! I just keep thinking about how nice it will be to paint my living room. If I can finish the assignment tomorrow I'll paint on Monday, but it will probably be Wednesday. Am I the only one who is sick of it?
I'M DONNNNEEE!!!
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
OH WOW!!! I'm so happy for you!
Thanks

ok, how? The professor gives us a take home test to go along with the in-class test. After grading the professor announced that she wasn't going to count the take home because too many people either didn't do it or got far to much wrong to count. This was a gimmee, how can you not do well on a take home test when the answers are in the book!!!!

Hooray! Well done! Does that mean you can get out to your garden now?
I sort of did my Welsh homework - and quite enjoyed it, even remembered idioms I thought I'd forgotten - but completely forgot one section of the exercises we were supposed to do, as did most of the class, so the tutor gave us an extra week to do it all. Now all I have to do is write a paragraph about an imaginary trip to London and finish off my reminiscences about when I was young. I will do it, I will. I'll go and do it now - well, after I've had another cup of tea, perhaps.....
So I’ve been busting my behind this semester. It has been the most difficult and challenging semester I’ve ever had. Not because of the difficult of the classes, but because of the extreme workload. In addition, the instructions are vague at best. Some are little more than a statement. When we ask a specific question about a specific assignment she often refers us to the syllabus which gives the statement and no clarification. I often feel like I’m groping in the dark. On top of that, nothing is being graded. There are substantial assignments that I turned in the first week of February that are still not graded.
I hate to hear students talk about how bad a teacher is because I often find that they are placing blame for bad grades and shoddy work on the teacher when it doesn’t belong there. That’s not the case here, my grades are really exceptional. But I expect to be dealt with professionally. I received a caddy e-mail from a teacher this week and I’m so mad I could spit!
Whooo Hoooo!!! I just took my last final of the semester.
