My religion of anthropolgy class has me bent over backwards. It's interesting and I rather enjoy the subject matter but unfortunately i have a 10 min oral presentation to put together for next week at the same time as a term paper for a philosophy class. The paper i can pull out of my ass essentially but this presentation has me troubled. Ultimately, i stink at formal public speaking. I get nervous, have clammy hand, can tremble, my voice cracks, and most importantly I have a tendency to recite or read quickly, almost franticaly, and in so much as I will lose a letter grade for being so much as a minute over or under the timelimit, I feel screwed! Nevermind the fact that I hate the notion of giving an oral presntation more than anything else, I completely and totally dread the fact that I'll be going very last. Just goes to show, don't miss class. Also, beacause I missed the class in which the presentations were ordered, i accordingly lost a chance to take a decent topic. To make maters worse, my prof is indifferent to my troubles and indisposed at almost all times outside class. I had no luck selling the idea of writing a 2nd term-paper for her instead and i'm not really surprised. So this leaves me doing shitloads of research. I have to have 15 sources of reference applicable to my obscure topic, and in so much as it's a minor pt of interest, am 10x less likely than alot of my peers to find visual aids and a general abundance of resources with which to make a presentation. If i missed alot of classes I could shrug this off, but I literally missed one Monday and bam, screwed! Such is my luck as of late. Oh well, c'est la vie I guess; The ride has to end sometimes. Through work comes worth. Right?
