My Candy Heart

These sweet little treats.............
are my favorite Valentines Day candy...why?
well they are yumm yumm yumm and they say nice things to me as I eat them, how kind. Just like goldfish, smiling back at me until you bite there heads off. (also a favorite)
My favorite one of all these hearts is
FAX ME
I want some day to get a fax that says "Hey baybay date me" or "be my valentine"
A fax how cool would life get! I am going to fax some hot man one day and ask him out on a date by fax; not text, not call, not in person, and no way facebook, FAX!
Whats your favorite Valentine candy? Whats the funniest way you've been asked out/ asked someone out? If its fax we are now the best of buds!

10 minute prep time

Public Speaking.....

Walk into my TA practicum class. I am told to choose a piece of paper and read the quote. My thoughts....
easy peasy lemon squeezy I've been reading since Kindergarten, pshh walk in the park.

Part two of my story: read this quote then you have 10 minutes to prepare a 2 minute speech around this quote no help just your mind pen and paper, then present it to the rest of the TA's (this class consists of probably the top 10 best students in the major and the best teacher). This task has become not so easy peasy lemon squeezey. A walk in the park turned into a walk through the snow with no shoes on.

My quote: "They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
-Andy Warhol

So I took my ten minutes and compiled a lovely speech full of 2 whole example one from a seminar Patch Adams the real doctor gave and one from my real life.

and.... I did it and I felt great afterwards I would totally prepare speeches all day I realized this is why speech communications is my major I love it!

If public speaking scares you I can help its my job....how cool does that get!
