I feel like I've made some progress. Last week Cindee decided she was going to get me to talk in her class before the quarter was over. She announced it to the class. I just laughed. Then afterwards she pulled me aside and told me, seriously, that she wanted me to talk before the quarter ended. I tried to explain that I don't talk in any of classes, and it was nothing against her, but that response would just not do for her.

So, yesterday in class she decided that every time she had something that needed to be read, she would have me read it for her. GRIEF! Now, normally that would have given me a small heart attack, and some serious anxiety. I have finally come to some kind of realization that I have an intensive public speaking problem. But for some reason it really wasn't that bad.

Then in my last class of the day we had these informal presentations in which our class was divided in half and we gave our presentation to our group. Okay, that was a piece of pie.

See? Progress!
