so when we had the two presentations from the speaking center i was a little skeptical. i'm taking a 100-level communications course to complete my gen ed this semester and i related it to that class. which was weird...because i was sitting in the gatewood building. anyways, besides the fact that both presentations started at 9am i think they were successful attempts by the speaking center. i liked the first lady better because she was more exciting and, let's be honest, that's needed for that type of presentation. the packet from the second presentation was helpful when outlining my speech, though.
as far as my speech i think i did pretty well. i covered the points i wanted to cover and i wasn't really nervous. i think that i'm comfortable enough with the group that i really have no problem giving a speech or speaking publicly. after watching a few uncomfortable presentations (no offense to anyone) i made sure i tried to be as comfortable up there as possible and make it more like i was just sharing thoughts rather than giving a formal speech. my powerpoint slide wasn't the greatest but it got the point across. i actually revised it and made it better here in a former blog post.
overall d.c. was amazing and i'm glad i got to share some thoughts on it with my classmates. and i'm glad we got the formal speaking-intensive part out of the way.
