Caffeinated Dreams

BOO!

One speech down, one more to go. Public speaking is not something I really enjoy doing, I can hide the stress and nervousness well but standing in front of at least 50 people was just not something I’m used to. Small group (like a classroom size) and such yeah sure, bring it on.

This wasn’t such a long speech, only 10 minutes with about another 10-15 minutes of questions at the end. I was surprised at the interest in the topics I went through, so it really helped kill the stress at the end. The next one is going to be longer but thankfully it’s a group of 4 of us shifting through the topics.

… since I’ve been back in the United States after living in Denmark for 3 years. And you know what? I’M STILL OUT OF THE FUCKING LOOP (with pop culture anyway). All my old friends from high school are talking about things I’ve never heard of and I feel like so awkward when I’m always having to ask “What’s that? Who’s that?” or “never heard of them.” Man, I used to not be like that so it’s throwing them off a lot too.

To be honest, I miss Europe a lot. It was relaxing and peaceful there, the cable in my apartment sucked (I watched CNN International more than anything else, hey it had The Daily Show with Jon Stewart so I was set) and movies were rarely advertised in the english channels but it was kinda nice just NOT CARING. On top of that everything had a delayed release by like a year it felt like so yeah.
