So.. today in Government class we had to do panel debates on certain acts and whether the national government was appropriate in enacting the bills/acts or if they should of left it up to the states. My group did the Brady Bill and I was on the states side. I think I did rather well in my little presentation dealy. I could feel myself shaking a little bit, but it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be. I also didn’t mess up on as many words while I talked as I used to. I’m getting better at talking louder as well.. and not just reading off the paper directly but actually looking up at the people I’m addressing.
It’s weird. I get really nervous before having to present something and then once I get it over with I’m like “Wow, it’s all over now. That wasn’t so bad, jeeze.” The presentation just seems to fly by. Meh. I’m not completely over my fear of public speaking.. but I’d like to think I’m making some headway towards doing so. :)
