Four and half hours

That's all I have until I have to give a informative speech for public speaking and I'm really starting to freak out.

Maybe we will get 10 feet of snow before then and class will be canceled. I mean it is February, right? Even if it is 60 degrees outside it could still happen.

 

Break your leg, that should get yourself out of it. Good luck!

 

Oh god, down to 2 and half hours.

Please please please god, let my professor get sick.

 

I used to hate doing speeches for class, but if you know you stuff it's easier to do IMO.
The thing that turned it around for me was I had to do a speech on a process. So I chose to do a speech on how to make peanut butter and jam sandwiches. I researched prices, kinds of bread, Peanut Butter and James. I had 'props' for everyone and the class got to make a PB&J sandwich

Just take a deep breath and think 'go for it' have the confidence that no one likes public speaking and that everyone in the room understands this.

I know easier said than done, but having a positive mental state helps.

 

I have done a lot of presentations and speeches before, but for some reason this one is freaking me out. Maybe because I'm being judged on my ability to speak rather then my ability to think.

 

And I forgot to mention that they things we did last week (research, outline, etc) is 70% of our grade so even if I bomb the speech I'm still pretty much guaranteed a C so I don't know why I'm freaking out. It's not like if I don't do well on this speech I'm going to fail the class.

 

well then no problemo.

have fun with it and you confidence will show and get you a great grade

 

You will do awesome.

 

dude, you are sooo fucked.... Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke! Choke!

 

12 minutes

 

Good luck. Just try and picture everyone in their underwear.

 

I know you did well.

 

In case anyone is wondering I got a high B with 89 out of 100 points.

I was calm, cool, and collected... until I had to give the speech. I was pretty nervous when I got up their but I managed to get through it.

 

good job

 

public speaking? eh. I had that class a year ago. All my projects involve marijuana or the legality of marijuana. Brought in my "props" too. Hell, even smoked before I went up to make sure I was calm. One of my favorite lines was, "now in case anyone wants to know what MJ smells like. Just come on up and smell my shirt." I got a B.

 

Some guy in my speach class gave a speach on how to build a bong.

 

I love speaking in public. Ever since I was a little kid, I took advantage of every opportunity to do so.

 

^Yes! Mike's classic Marbury sig!
