1st day of class!

well today was the first day of the spring semester. i had 2 classes today and they both suck! the first class is a 'regent's essay prep' class. i have never felt so dumb in my life. here i am a 25 year old college graduate who can't even pass a stupid essay part of a required test for college! i'm taking this class so i can be sure to pass it when i take it again in march. when i walked in the room ...why was i the only black person in there?? the class was filled with asians who speak english as a second language! after about 10 min. other blacks and whites came in ...so i hate to admit it...but i was relieved. at least i'm not the only one who can't write a freakin paper. lol. can u blame me... i was a math education major in college. the last english course i took was in '98.
the second class i had to today is a georgia college requirement and the most dreaded class for most people...public speaking aka speech. i was about thisclose to dropping this class because it terrifies me! the only reason i didn't is because i'll have to it take to graduate so i might as well get it over with now. whenver i have to stand in front of people to speak, my hands get sweaty, my heart starts beating really fast, and i feel like i'm going to faint. i'm serious yall... my mind goes totally blank then i start stuttering and saying , "ummm..." alot. oh well..they say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" so that will probably be my motto for this semester. wish me luck.
