2 days and counting...

i cant wait for friday. it feels like i havent been home in awhile, and i miss it. i also just need a break from school. once all my projects are done this week my stress level can decrease a bit. and assimus is definitely coming home with me for a few days! :) im excited for her to meet the rest of my family, although they can be a little weird sometimes..but hey, we're all a little weird right? ;) it is looking to be a fairly busy week, seeing family, more than one thanksgiving meal to allow us to see everyone, and getting some quality time in with the rents, and big sis of course. assimus and i might spend the night at her apartment on saturday. could make for a fun girls night. so basically, im counting the hours till i can go home..downside is its a 4 hour drive-but assimus will keep me company:)

i have to give a presentation later today in my night class. i absolutely HATE public speaking. i am extremely shy and self conscious so i am terrified of standing in front of people and talking. today hopefully wont be too bad, its a group presentation, so the speaking is shared and not all the attention is on one person. being shy is a huge aspect of my personality, but it hinders my decision making a lot of the time. i dont speak out in class, i dont tend to say hi to people if they dont say hi, and i kind of stick to myself (or assimus if she happens to be around) in large groups of people-which i am aware may make me look like a total bitch, but im really not!
"the key to individuality is to get rid of the 'im afraid of looking stupid' fear"-that fits me to a T. but trust me, im working on it. maybe someday...
