    If you continue on to Uni then you may have to do more speeches, and if makes it easier, I don't really remember who spoke or about what at our high school graduation thing. I just remember that our school system is shitty so the person who should have got Dux (top of the year) didn't due to some shitty difference between the way science and social science was marked. Our whole year was outraged- including the girl who got the Dux.

    I have to give a talk worth 20% of my grade in a fortnight. Despite everything I just said, I don't want to. I'm not terribly scared- although I either stutter or race no matter how often I practise- I just can't really be bothered. I haven't even done the research for it. I just stare at one of the papers I have to read blankly for a few minutes then have to go do something else, or break into hysterics. I can't wait for this year to be over. Research sucks less than this.

    No need to worry, heh. I stopped getting notified when someone posted in the OOC/IC for some reason, so I assumed problems had arisen and people were busy with things, and then when I came onto RPG to decide whether or not to start an RP with an idea I had rolling around, it turned out that the whole site was down. Couple days later I had a PM from Genkai saying she wanted to kill me

    @CB: I didn't want to but if you were totally gone or thought the side was gone, then I'd have to kill you.

    @Blond: Really? I never had to give speeches unless the class was meant for public speaking, like Communications for example but even so I didn't talk to people, we just did skits in front of people. But I'm sure you'll be fine. I think everyone can relate to getting a little nervous around big groups so even if there's a slip up, people won't throw things at your head. XD

    @Genkai - Haha...well, I'm bound to get involved in way too much, and end up being overwhelmed. I do rather prefer that to having nothing at all to do, though. And if it's all stuff I like I probably won't mind as much. Hopefully I'll be able to have fun in college. ^^

    Oh, you have an essay too? Haha. Procrastinator party? /shot

    Sad thing is, I start writing, but then I get distracted and/or stressed and then stop for a while. It's very slow going, and not good for an assignment of this size. o.O But I'll try to work on it; you should probably do the same~~~

    Well, last time my mom requested my transcript, she found out I was second in the class. There's always a chance it'll change, but also a chance it won't. DX. As for writing, once I'm done writing all this stuff I don't want to write I can hopefully work on all the stuff I do. But...I don't see how that'll help me get over my crippling fear of public speaking. XD

    @Blond - Hm...well thanks for the encouragement, I always stutter and mess up when giving speeches, too. XD. Good luck with your speech though, and if I do end up having to give a speech hopefully we both do well.

    But haha...Genkai! Don't kill CB, we just found out he's still alive! XD

    @Snow: He did PM me yesterday, so if he's active and nice then I won't kill him.

    And I have more than one essay due...I have like 4 more when I finish the one I'm on. I also have a math test and Philo test to study for. Ah the joys of school...I should have just gone to work at Taco Bell. And come summer, it'll be nice to sit around and complain that we got nothing to do, rather than stuff to put off.

    Actually, I'll be quite busy this summer. XD. I'm taking on more hours at the pool I lifeguard at, my mom talked me into learning the tenor sax so I could be in marching band next year, and a friend of mind wants to teach me how to sail! XD

    Haha. But learning all those new things sounds fun, and they're waaaay less stressful than homework and papers and studying. I'll have more free time, so hopefully I can post more, too. ^^

    Jesus Snow, learn to take break! :/ I have no idea where you find the time to even breathe, you seriously need to take a break, even if it's a weekend or something (every once in a while) and just chill and do something that requires little effort. I would hate for you to tire yourself out before to hit 21.

    Lol. But I can't, life is too short and I've wasted enough of it already. Last summer, during the time I wasn't working, I spent almost all my time laying in bed or loafing around the house. I'm friggin' tired of doing that stuff though; wasting time gets old (much as I'd like to relax and just waste time right now XD).

    But yeah, well, this conversation changed fast. Like I said though, I gotta get back to working. XD. Nice talking to you guys, see ya in a few days (as long as I'm still alive by then). ^^

    Yeah I guess nothing on here needs my "immediate" attention so I guess I should get to work too.

    As much time as I've spent trying to think of a quick plot for a new RP to entertain me, I figure I should work on my essay and maybe I'll think of something later. ^^;

    Edit - FINALLY DONE OUTLINING, I can go home and die now. XD I mean study...die...same thing right?

    I'm so proud of myself, but I'm off to go home where the net isn't crappy~

    Wish me luck guys. I'm about to give a presentation that I didn't know I had until 10mins ago, have just skim read the paper I'm to give it on, and had a brief glance at the slides from the partner who never contacted me over the week we were supposed to collaborate on this. The success of my bull shit for this will determine my mood for the afternoon, and if it goes well I shall post, if it doesn't then I am going out to a Japanese bar to drown in sake.
