So, today in my blog I will be informing you on a terrible subject my school forces me and ever other student in our school to take; Speech. Speech is probibly the most meaningless class for a person (like myself) who will not be speaking at all for their occupation. Now, I understand that I may need to present something in the bussiness world, church, or some other event, but I personally do not find the class that important!
Well, today I had this beloved class and I also had to do a speech. This is our second speech and this time is was a speech to demonstrate. I thought about what I could talk about and me going into the pathology (deafness) feild I thought the "Human Hearing System" would be interesting! NO! Lets just say it went over like a led balloon! First of all I did not study as much as a should have, but granted I was the only Junior to present my project today. All the rest were Seniors! I found this quite unfair!
As I stood before the class I began to sweat perfusly. I was already thinking it would not go over too well, but I started into it. As soon as I began I thought to my self, wow, I am actually doing a pretty good job. That "pretty good job" did not last for more than 45 seconds. Lets just say it went down hill from there. I could not remember my points, all my information was jumbled, and when i walked over to my poster I could not find the 3 bones in the ear. Oh yes, It was TERRIBLE! After I finished the teacher and students said nothing. You could hear a pin drop. Granted my speech needed to be 6-8 minutes and I maybe got 3 min. I am just praying that it won't hurt my grade to badly.
Well, I must be off to do some homework. I believe I have a vocab test at the end of this week with 40 vocab words and definitions! Yes, my teacher IS insane!

awww jord! that stinks...just decide to try harder next time!
love ya!
If I've learned anything from doing speeches... it's that if you start to screw up and if the whole thing starts to go all wrong, figure out a way to make everyone laugh, even if you have to embarrass yourself to do it. Seriously, it will take the attention away from the fact that you have no clue what you are doing. (The teacher might not fall for it, but you won't get made fun of, either.)
