Instead of taking Calculus I am taking Speech. The class makes me feel out of place because it is full of sophomores and juniors. After my first speech presentation today I dread the upcoming speech presentations because the time limit will increase. Making a speech in front of the whole class is harder than it looks especially when some of the students look comfortable with doing it. Sometimes I wish I was taking calculus like everyone else but after hearing and reading other students opinions I rather not go through calculus again. I am glad I got the credits for it because double periods of AP Calculus everyday in high school was a nightmare.
College seems somewhat cool so far. The freedom is great and the classes are more interesting than my classes in high school. It takes me less time to commute to college than it took for high school. I hope everyone else is enjoying or will enjoy college life as well.
I took a speech class in my high school before, but unfortunately it doesn’t have any college credit. It was actually nervous at first to get in front of the class and make a speech, but I kind of got used to it. Hopefully I won’t be nervous in my speech class in college. And i think having double period of math everyday in high school will be too much for me. I guess right now, math class is alright, but 1 hour and 40 minutes is still a long time.
wow, speech must seem really tough for you 🙁 ..I know how it feels going up in front of the class and it really makes me nervous because everyones watching me. But after doing more speeches, you get comfortable speaking in front of people. I think a great way to make speech easier is by practicing in front of your peers. it really help! 🙂 good luck!
I can’t imagine what taking communications would be like next semester, the speeches already seem intimidating.
