Be Prepared

I practiced my symposium yesterday. It was a very rough draft of what's to come. It went alright, I guess. It was full of uncertainty and awkward pauses. I hate awkward pauses. I don't really understand...I'm ok around a big group of people when my friends are around...but as soon as I stand up in front of them, I lose control and confidence. I felt like everything slipped away. Oh well.

It will be a much better presentation once I have everything I want to talk about written down on 800 notecards. I think that's one of the main reasons I was so nervous. I didn't really know what to say. That and I absolutely HATE presenting. But it's not like I completely blew it off as not important, I just have trouble with this type of thing if it's not planned correctly or time wise. If I could just sit down and write stuff down instead of getting distracted by stupid blogs...then I can do a good job. And I also have to make a cd slideshow of my progression and/or my gallery.

Why can't I be a professional dancer? It looks like a lot of fun/work. I wish I could be as motivated and passionate about anything as they are about dancing.

Harmony sounds so scary. I never knew she had the muahmuahhhahahah in her!

Allison, I really really think you should come in and give the presentation another practice so you don't feel "awkward." Your first shot wasn't awkward, you just didn't have technology set smoothly. Sooo, whattaya say? Could you to come in next week?
