It was interesting to see how nervous I got in front of a microphone. Once I saw the TV crews (only two) and the two newspapers (only two), with their big microphones sitting on the podium; I got those infamous "butterflies". The matter did not draw a lot of attention, and I do not expect that what was said by me and the other person will make it as far as to the House, but it was fun to try something different. I tried to be short and informative, and I think a couple of things I said made it through the blank stares of the reporters, as they seemed to raise their eyebrows in acknowledgement (or was it that scratch they couldn't get to in public?). Anyway, my hands shook, my voice shook, and they said (the NDPC) I sounded like I've taken speech. No, not yet, but does that mean I'd get an "A"? *smile*
I also went to a Pschyology club meeting this afternoon. I originally got handed the baton of advertisment, but now it is in someone else's court because someone got rather upset by being ignored. I do not mind, however, her aggressiveness is something to be desired. She plans to major in Pschy. to be a counselor, but I think she also needs to major in attitude adjustment. You should have seen the look on people's faces when she got hostile, I mean, this was a classroom of adults and there was someone acting like a child. I understand that she has had to fight for just about everything since she was young (her and I have had long talks in the past), but I think she can learn to back off a bit and not give the air of defense all the time. If she comes to all the meetings, I expect some good showdowns. :) :( I feel that she seems to think that WE are creating her problems, not her. Know anyone like that?? Oh, I have to hurry with my spanish lab so that I can go to her house and work on the flyers with her. Interesting...
