Public speaking anxiety

I know I said in the previous post no more post until Monday but I had to get this one in.
Yesterday I had to give my first speech in communications and I have never been so nervous in my life it was the weirdest thing. I am pretty comfortable speaking in front of people because at my last place of employment I would give presentations to a crowd that averaged about fifty people and I was told I was pretty good at it.

In the previous post I layed out what the assignment was about and i'm not going to go back over that again. The prof. went by alphabetical order which meant that I would be last, there is no way in the world that I was going to sit there for ninety minutes, so I volunteered to go second and I ended up going fifth. As soon as I got up in front the class my hands started shaking, my legs were shaking, my palms were sweaty, my heart started beating scarily too fast it didn't feel good at all and then I began the speech and ended the speech without passing out. "Thank you my Lord and savior." Needless to say all of that was worth it because I got an "A" and now it's time to get to turn in my three page profile piece for English.




Until next time.......................
