  • "Hi, my name is Lyrizz and introductions makes me nervous"

    First days of classes are kind of awesome, for the most part, considering most instructor's lets us take it easy. Take today for instance, not only did class start at 9 am, which is actually relatively late for me, but it also ended after 30-45 minutes of class, which left us with a 3 hour lunch break before the next class. A couple of the girls in my class decided that we would kill our spare time by going around the mall. It was actually the second time I associated with my classmate outside of school. It's not like I'm anti social , I really just don't have social skills whatsoever. It's pathetic really. Though I learned, that however restricted the conversation was, if I just let myself relax, then its not as bad as I thought. It's okay, I'm learning. 

    By the time we finished browsing, having lunch and getting back we still have about 40 minutes left, so I among with two other girls spend it down the docks of the Quay and just lounge around in the sun.  The combination of the sun and the wind made for the perfect temperature. It was nice.

    So last class of the day rolled around and new sets of instructors we've never had. After the ritual introduction they made of themselves, they prompted us to do the same. AND MAN! CAN I hear my heart pounding in my chest!

     

    stunned <--- that was my inward reaction when I heard that they want US  to say " a little something about" ourselves . I REALLY  despise introductions. First:  I have a BIG name complex, second: I'm not interesting. AT ALL. I think I get more nervous from introductions than I do with exams it's ridiculous.  I get so nervous in fact, that I get very  tongue tied. I mean I don't speak English all that fluently, especially around people I'm not comfortable with, but introductions takes me to a whole new level of bumbling mess.

     

    I really need to work on my people's skills.
