Wow! I can’t believe I finally went after wondering about it all these years! It was very interesting and I really liked the format. I knew it was a good fit for me, too, because my palms were all sweaty just thinking of the possibility that they might ask me to speak! I am very excited about making this a part of my life—I feel like it is in a very small way going to help make up for my missing out on the speech and debate team when I was in high school. In addition, I’d like to figure out how I can cheer 43 Things for helping get me to my meeting. I almost copped out again because I was very tired, but I knew that I had already announced that I would be going tonight. LET’S HEAR IT FOR 43 THINGS!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!

I have my very first meeting on Wednesday evening. I’m a little nervous because I have never been to a meeting and have no idea what to expect. But I plan to go on Wednesday and start whipping my public speaking skills into shape. Deep down I know that I’m a good communicator—I just have to overcome my fear of speaking in front of superiors and peers.
