I have a speech due tonight. It's an introductory and isn't for a grade. But I am absolutely terrified. I can't think about what I want to talk about. I can't think of an attention-getter. It's suppose to be 3-5 minutes, no big deal. But I am so scared, I feel sick. I'm not usually like this. I'm usually great with talking in front of people.

but omg.

Feeling unprepared is probably causing that level of anxiety. Find a subject that you want to talk about, ask for suggestions from here? Then work on that attention grabber and it'll go from there. 3-5 minutes isn't bad.

Probably. One speech I did: I had been absent and while I was, the professor moved the speech up a week. So I get back and everyone is reading their index cards and I turn to someone. "What's going on?" "Speech today."

I go up there, think of everything in about 5 minutes... I'm the only one to make an A.

My biggest problem is talking about myself, I guess. I feel so cliche.

Oh, yeah. That is hard because you have to tell a bunch of strangers stuff about yourself in which you leave yourself a bit vulnerable. Even if it's just about hobbies or your pet/kids. While the class sits there and judges you.

Perfect. So, I figured out that I am going to open with a quote. I know three people I'm going to talk about. And I know how I'm going to conclude it.

I just have to work out the main fluff of the middle, and I'll be okay.

I am surprised you didn't say, "Kill everyone."

It sounds like there were too many banana peels involved for this to be ordinary wrestling. Suspicious.

Pretty sure Squee is up there right now, or at least will be in the next few hours, hopefully not embarrassing us.
