I don't know how, but I actually got some great comments after I presented my speech! That...had to be the Lord, I'm telling you! lol Cause I went up totally unprepared. Basically, I was rushing to get done today (or yesterday, Tuesday) by 6:30pm. My printer needed ink so I had to get out and grab some. I knew that my printer had been acting up for awhile and printing some bad prints, but I was hoping for the best! But nope...I got the WORST prints ever! I couldn't even recognize them they were so bad! And if there's one thing that absolutely ALWAYS happens when I need to get something printed at the last minute...I'm totally serious...it absolutely NEVER FAILS...the printer decides to act up at that very moment! What's with that!? It's like one of those anomolies where the whole town practically shows up at the same time at Starbucks. Why does that happen? And why does my printer or ANY printer for that matter start acting up when you need something desperately!? Anyways, I don't want to drag that out.
So my printer acts up, and I'm heading to class without an outline or visual aid and note cards I barely wrote on. And I'm just praying that the Prof will be ever so kind and let me off the hook today because of my darn printer. But...alas...it was just one of those days where the pressure NEVER lets up! lol So...I just had to make the best of it. I was third to speak, so I wrote down what I retained on those cards, practiced outside while I waited, and what do ya know...I actually did okay, and amazingly I got good feedback. I can't tell you how good that felt! I even told one girl sitting next to me I was totally unprepared, and later she said 'You didn't seem unprepared, you did fine!' All I could say was 'I love you! and give her this huge hug! lol Okay, actually I just said thanks. hehe Ahhh...only in the movies. But yeah, I was sooo relieved after that and even now, it's gonna be nice to go tomorrow and just listen to speeches and drink my coffee. Yes!!!
So now I get to think about a topic for my persuasive speech next week. And believe you me, I WILL be better prepared for that! I'm not going through that again! lol Those are like...grey hair moments. I'm pretty sure I'm seeing more around the front and sides from just all the stress this year alone. Or...maybe I'm just gettin' old. hehe Ummm...I think it's the stress. But yeah, we have a persuasive speech and a demonstration speech left. I was actually thinking, in my own weird-thinking world, of demonstrating how to act like Napolean Dynamite. lol I think that would be hilarious! Grab a wig and some glasses, those 80's pant-things lol and use some words from the movie like 'sweeet' and 'whatever I feel like, gosh!' and jerk my head to the right. lol Eh...maybe if I had lighter skin, I might do that. Well see I guess.
Man, I LOVE this autosave feature! I was all excited a minute ago, cause for some reason nothing was connecting for some reason so I had to close everything and restart, but I was able to cut and paste what I wrote. So when I got back on, I suddenly realized that it had that autosave feature, and lo and behold, it was there as a draft! I was like 'Yes! Thank you autosave! I looove you!' lol Okay I wasn't THAT excited. But I was pretty stoked.
So...I gotta admit here, since no one even reads this except maaaaybe one person...or two, who knows, that there's someone in class I absolutely adore. She sits right in front of me most of the time. I noticed her the first day actually, but I got the feeling that maybe I wouldn't be able to connect with her. But boy was I wrong, cause we talk all the time, which is nice. But...she does have a bf, and she tends to walk out and wait for this guy in class, who, if I remember correctly was already her friend. The thing is...I think he's...gay. His voice is very soft and the way he talks kind of gives it away along with his gestures. But you know what, I've been able to talk to her lately even after class while she waits for him, cause before I would walk with her to the parking lot cause he used to park somewhere else, but now he parks where we do, so I'm still grateful I get to talk with her. I guess I should just accept she's with someone, but it's hard not to think of her cause she's sooo gentle and easy to talk to and yes, she's pretty! lol Well...the Lord knows, and I just need to be patient about that. In fact, it's probably better that I don't get involved right now with everything that's going on. I seem so busy all the time. Maybe I just choose to be busy. lol
I heard it's raining in Oregon right now. I hope it moves down here! I miss it so much. :( God, pleeease bring it! =)
