Okay, I’m feeling better today. I don’t know if I have mentioned this on the blog, but I have some anxiety about speaking in front of people. Sometimes it’s anxiety beforehand and then once I am actually doing it I’m fine. But there have been times where I’m in the middle of my presentation and I get a panic attack. It sucks. It’s like I’m just standing there in front of all of these people and I freeze. And then I kind of try to make it through to the end and I think I kind of do okay, but I still end up feeling like an idiot.

So for work I have to go into 18 High School Freshmen classes and give them a little lecture on how to use our library. I am well prepared. I know what I am going to say down to the last sentence. But I’m still a little bit freaked out. I keep telling myself it will be okay, and I’m sure it will be, but still. There is that fear.

    Sometimes I think teenagers (in herds) can be intimidating, too. Then I just remember what it was like to be a teenager and I feel a little bit better…

    Thanks Karma :). That actually relieves some of the stress of it, thinking about what I was like as a teenager.

    I agree with Karma. They work so hard to look cool, but think back to how everyone you knew then actually felt.

    Remember, to them you’re an adult 😉

    Best of luck. Once you get one or two done you’ll have it down.
