I'm getting nervous....!

[PRINCESS VIJA]

As some of you know, this is my first semester back to school for a teaching degree. Tonight I am one of 5 students that has to give a 4 HOUR presentation on Islam. (cultural diversity class) My part is on the culture... clothing, contributions, and art. I am nervous!!! I love teaching kids, but getting up in front of my peers is difficult at best. Wish me luck!

I should get off the DIS and get more work done. In the next 2 weeks I have due: this presentation, another presentation next week (short, only 2 minutes for me, but combined to teach the chapter to 2 classes), a lesson plan, a 5 page research paper (haven't started that, due in 1 week), 2 papers detailing my clinical site and implications and standards, another presentation on an observation experience and I have to create a poster ( I am actually going to do a diorama-ok'd by the prof.), another paper on my attitude and disposition, and 3 chapters with write ups! Holy cow! I have to get to work now that I see this written out! YIKES!

got to go....!

I'm sending you extra special "presentation pixie dust" - just imagine Tinkerbelle sprinkling it all over your audience! Please remember that every person there WANTS you to succeed and they are all on your side - HONEST! They will have no problems forgiving you the little things like losing your place in your presentation or needing a moment of silence to think through what you want to say.

Best wishes for getting all your work done! Please try to break it all out into smaller pieces so it isn't so overwhelming. Remember, NONE of it has to be perfect, just good enough!

You can do it!!

Ugh that sounds awful. I'm not good at that type of thing either, but I imagine once you get going, you'll forget and get into it.

Good luck!
