I DID IT!!!! So if you've read my previous posts, you see that last Tuesday I was supposed to give a presentation in my Holistic Medicine class. Well, I finally got to give it yesterday!! I don't know why I'm so excited....it's just a dang presentation but it feels so good to just have it over with. I won't know my score til next week so it's another week of waiting. (That just reminded me of what a pregnant person thinks when they think they just might have the baby early and it doesn't happen so they're all depressed.) So here I had two really great weeks to prepare and be ready to give my 'speech'. I knew the information fowards and backwards. I could have started in the middle and told you what happens from there and the things that led to the middle part. I was READY!! But of course I have to get up there, my hands still freezing cold, my heart rate racing causing high blood pressure, and the worst of all....SHAKING. I guess you could say between my cold hands and the way I was 'fanning' my note cards all around (not on purpose but I was seriously shaking that much) I was a walking AC unit. I'm sure the girls in the front row were wishing I'd just hurry up and finish already because their breath was starting to freeze!! And then I got up there and sounded like a TOTAL dork!! " I'm uh doing my ummm presentation on Innerakls;jdf I mean Inner Child Ther-Therapy. The ummmmm uhhhh founder her name is Parks ummm let me look ummm Penny Parks." Oh gosh Al, are you kidding me!!! Everyone was looking at me with a smile on their faces but I couldn't tell if they were laughing at me or thinking, "That poor miserable girl, I wonder if she knows that black is not her color?" BLACK??? I thought BLACK was everyone's color!!! But I eventually got everyone busy and looking down and visiting but then I felt like I was just talking to noone and I wanted to yell, "Hey I'm giving my presentation here!!!! Wait, Allee, they were all just looking at you and you were about to pee your pants. Did you like that????" Ya try having all this go through your head, read off the notecards because you can't remember a single thing, AND keep a smile on your face!!! OH oh oh oh oh I am so glad it's all over with!!
