Well, tonight I had to do my first formally graded speech in class. It was extremely nerve-wracking. I literally wanted to crawl out of the room in the middle, because it was going so, so bad. Anyway, I lived and hopefully I'll pass the class. The teacher did mention that he has almost never given anything less than a "B" on the first graded speech, so that's assuring, I guess. It was a demonstration speech, so I had to keep moving while I was talking, trying to keep track of my speech outline and the time. I guess the best thing was that I didn't go over the allotted time, as did many others in the class. I'll be docked for sheer "horribleness". LOL Anyway, I'm glad it'll all be over in a few short weeks! =D Gimme that "A" and let me go home! JK!!!!! I'll be lucky with a "C" after tonight's episode, but I shall persevere!!! I'm looking at the big picture and "winning" means getting my degree. I'm gonna do it, or at least give it a real honest try. There. I hope that wasn't too bo...ring for whoever left that less than kind comment, anonymously no less! Nighty-night!

ReplyDeleteOhhhh... Okay? IDK... I'm still a little confused, but I do feel a little better as well. =D
ReplyDeleteThank you, "anonymous", for your very kind comments. I will do my best to shoot for that "A" in spite of my immense feelings of inadequacy. God bless you for your sweetness to me!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI know you can shoot for and attain that "A"!!!! Go for it!!! Non-traditional students, like you and ?I?, can achieve greatness and show all those teens, who are just starting out, a thing or two!!!
ReplyDeleteUh oh!!! Did I just give you a clue as to who I am???? Oh, well....
:0 Later
Chris,
ReplyDeleteWhen I took my speech class I always thought that I did horrible, but everyone else in the class, including the teacher, thought it was great. My teacher actually still goes around telling people what a "great communicator" I am. So, it is all a matter of perspective. Relax and do your best; chances are you're doing better than you think.
