I had the weirdest experience when I was making my speech this morning. I don't really know what happened, but it was just strange. And this strangeness might as well cost me some marks. 

I was talking about the "concept" of Halloween. So, I think I started out fine, but some where in the middle, I lost my words. The thing is, I knew what I wanted to say, but my brain was not cooperating with me. I wanted to find the words, but instead, my eyes focused on one of the listeners, and I noticed how tired and red-eyed he was. 

I understand that students of different majors think that Mass Comm students don't really do anything. They're WRONG. We slave, and suffer, and study. And cram if necessary. But we work just as hard and we get tired too. 

So focusing on this person, I must have stopped talking, because I started thinking, "Why does he look so tired and bored?" It was SO not that time to think about his problems, but it couldn't be helped. I stuttered to get back on track, but again, my brain did not want to help me clarify any thing I'm saying.

I managed to wrap it up, because I also freaked out when the professor pointed out that I passed 1 minute of my time. All that, and I forgot to cite my sources!

Being abandoned by a functioning facility in your body is frightening.
