Fortunately, or unfortunately, the way to improve my confidence level may exist in just more hands-on practice and just jumping in there and painfully, awkwardly barely performing and being nervous-like, but it’s practice. If getting better by other means such as research, practice with fellow well students, additional study and assignments, and so on, would work, it would have by now.

down to a sort of wire and already busted through a big safety net. now it’s balancing act time.

Just going to have jump in there and try try try. I know no other way to get better at something that calls for you to lead the show and be competent…
