    I didn't want to join this thread because I'm a rather reluctant academian, but I am finally beginning classes come the week of 12 October. The silly French and their silly strikes pushed back (or forward?) my university's schedule so that the fall semester begins ridiculously late. It's going to be mad difficult to get into the studious groove.

    One speech down three to go. Apparently when I get up to give a speech I become a dancing queen. I have sooo much energy me feet are always moving. I've tried scrunching my butt cheeks but that's too distracting any other tips??

    Russian is not half as amusing as Lit Net, so you're getting amusement. That's what you're doing here...

    Probably if you remain quiet you'll get more nervous, so if moving your feet helps you deal with nerves, then you should probably stop scrunching your butt cheeks

    The problem is that my footwork is a distraction to the audience.

    Your butt scrunching is distracting the audience? Is that a compliment or a bad thing?

    Sorry Papaya, no advice here. I'm a terrible public speaker. I don't like all those people looking at me. *shudders*

    On the school front, midterms start tomorrow with Nutrition. That one should be fun. I have a total of 8 midterms plus 5 significant tests, plus smaller quizzes and whatnot. See you all in two months.
    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?

    500 words is plenty long enough; you just have to make sure you use good words.

    Thank you! Finally someone who thinks like me!

    I need to get a lot of reading done before I can write anything seriously so I am working on that now... I need to read and "understand" about 1000 pages by December... Excluding suggested reading lists.

    Someone tell me I can pull this off!

    When I was first starting teaching, a mentor recorded us during our teaching sessions and that is still one of most valuable feedback I have ever received.

    You can put reminders between your cue cards reminding yourself to stop the foot-work.
