And boy, am I learning this without a break.
I apologize for my post last week, I needed to vent. Thankfully, I was quick enough to delete it before too many people saw it. For all that care, here’s a quick cap on how my summer is going.
1:Started speech class. I was doing fine until I performed a speech on Joan of Arc (a topic I am well versed in, because Joan of Arc kicks VERY much butt). Well, it turns out lengthy speeches make me nervous. Lots of stuttering and lack of enthusiasm/body language during the speech. The students said the following things about the speech:
Make more eye contact
Good eye contact (XD)
Lots of ‘uhm’s
Good information-interesting
Louder
Good job not fidgeting
You seem to know what you’re talking about-trust yourself (I had a big loss of self-confidence during that speech, though I REALLY don’t know why…)
Well placed pauses
Careful with enthusiasm
Better introduction
Feels natural
(End list) Wow, mixed reactions…and I STILL ended up with a C+. ONE point away from a ‘B’. Yeah, I’m a little ticked, but mainly at myself.
2: I got really tired after speech today, so I came home and fell asleep…
…only to be awakened by my phone, which may be my future boss at Kroger (O.O) I was half-asleep when I talked to her, but I remember that her name is Judy and I’m having my interview at 10:30.
Wait…
SPEECH CLASS!!! Crap. Looks like I’ll have to take the test and do my speech before or after class…but I should be able to make this work. Only allowed to miss 2 1/2 days, though.
3:Library completely denied my application T^T
4:Setting aside time at home especially for workout. I want to be able to throw people over 3 meters! >:O
5:Also being attacked by a combination of books, honors summer homework, and story ideas. If this is what junior year will feel like, then I think I’ll be drinking a lot more caffine than usual.
6:Talked to a professor in the family, gave me very good advice. So, in honor of that advice, I will be making a new blog that will be strictly reviews and posting of my stories. Once it is made and I have some content for it, I’ll post the link. I’m thinking of going with blogspot or blogger this time around.
That’s all for now, folks. I’m trying to change my icon from InuYasha to Rukia doing her famous “Bwahahaha!” *crosses arms*

Yeah, apparently the library won’t look at anymore job applications until maybe in six months. T.T
Hope speech is going better now. ^_^
