FPPS 199. Course description: Undergraduate Seminar.

 

I was in my beloved black stockings, a miniskirt i sewed together myself, borrowed heels and a knit shirt i've shorn the sleeves of some 20 minutes before so it can look better suited for such an event. i added a button on the neckline, too, for a little drama. the outfit came together just peachy.

 

we were told to write a paragraph about ourselves, for our introduction.

  

"The next speaker is a BS Chemical Engineering student, majoring in Pulp and Paper Technology;

She does not actually like her present degree, but is hopelessly addicted to paper;

Dreams instead of becoming an interior designer, a grape orchard owner and a professional radio jock;

Whose ultimate goal in life is to have her own exhibit in a CCP gallery; and

Having accomplished thus, plans to retire in sunny Rio and long afterwards die peacefully in her sleep in a log cabin on a windswept crag in mystic Scotland."

 

such rave reviews i got from Ma'am Stel Castillo, but i don't know if i should be flattered by her saying that based on my presentation, she is assured that i actually did learn something from her subject FPPS 132 last year.

 

i appreciated my audience so much, Ma'am Stel, Sir Ronniel, Aciel, Roy, Davy, Davy's girlfriend, Davy's girlfriend's friend, Carey and Jarvik my little love, because they actually laughed as my intro was being read (meaning they got the joke). the people from FPPS, my classmates and my teachers, asked questions as well, which meant i have done well in my presentation for they understood the points i was trying to get across.

 

i love public speaking. the jitters and the apprehension will never cease to be there, but the exhilaration of success is well worth the sweaty palms and the shaky legs.
