I’ve been quite busy lately trying to get ready for a presentation I have to do in the university class that I’m taking. The presentation is tonight and it’s on “Pleasure Gardens in 18th Century London”. Thrilling, I know!

Anyway, I’m trying not to be too nervous and on one hand I’m pleased to notice that I am not as nervous as I used to get for these kind of things. But on the other hand it feels like high school all over again. I get worked up and exude this nervous tension that screams “I’m pathetic! Please like me! Think I’m cool! I want to fit in!” Why should I care that much? I know that nobody else in my class cares about my presentation. I didn’t care about their presentations. The only one really paying attention is the teacher. But I am more concerned about how I’ll appear to my classmates. Sometimes I think I’m going to feel like an insecure teenager forever.
