I'm very relieved this week is over, especially a presentation I had to make to my lecture class. There is still no resolution to my special ed placement. It would take too long to say all that has transpired.
Once someone said the cure for a fear is as simple as just doing what you fear until it is no longer threatening. There is some truth to that. But when it is as ingrained a fear as mine, it never truly leaves. It is managed. I envy those who speak in front of people with ease. Jay is like that. I asked him if he would be a guest speaker for my class, where I was to present on a topic yesterday. He literally jotted a few things down five minutes before speaking. The class ate him up. They loved him. I, on the other hand, practiced in the basement for days. I lumbered through. I want to be Jay. :)

Haha, you flatter. You had more pressure to give correct information - I had the freedom of just saying whatever I wanted, so it was easier. Remember when I actually gave incorrect information (about spectrum disorders)? Haha, it didn't matter because I wasn't expected to have correct information, just to have the gift of gab. :)
