Public speaking tops my list of least favorite things to do (it might be second to swimming with sharks). I have been in multiple public speaking classes and have given a couple of speeches in my time, but everytime I get up to speek I feel the same onslaught of emotions. I get butterflies and then I stand up and say the first word and start to ramble. I am a very good rambler...I talk and talk and forget what I am supposed to talk about something.
That being said this speech was not that bad and the exercises done before the speeches started were actually quite helpful. Everyone in the class did really well and addressed topics that I didnt think of but are definetly issues on campus. They were entertaining and educational

48 Laws
Law number 6: Court All the Attention You Can
While reading this law I thought of the celebs in hollywood that pull stunt after stunt trying to keep their names in the magazines and in our minds. If one celebrity shows her bra, the next one goes pantiless. It is funny how this same thing has been going on for ages. It does'nt really look like thes people are getting power in the sense of king or queen of hollywood, but they are getting a certain degree of power. By keeping their name in the tabloids we are looking at what they are wearing, who they are with or what they think is cool. So in a twisted sense, these press whores are gaining power over us without us really knowing it. (wow i sound angry)

Dear Colleagues
Dear Peers,
I am writing you all today to let you know a little bit about myself in a few different capacities. As a student I tend to be very laid back. I try not to let the "stress" of school ever get to me. I tend to stay a half step in front of my studies, but I do procrastinate quite a bit. I always do my work; it just might be right down to the wire, as you can tell from this assignment. I like school alot and am eager to learn, but that means that if a class gets a little boring, I tend to zone out and get bored and start to complain about it. School has always been fun to me, but I understand why many people do not like it. One thing about school that I do not care for is the writing. I like the feeling of satisfaction experienced after writing a paper, but the actual writing part is no fun for me. I write very informally which tends to get me in trouble in a lot of english classes. I do not want to address the issue of my being a future prefessional, because I plan on not becoming one anytime soon. I do not like the idea of going into the working world; it implies that I need to be an adult, but I really do not want to become one. As a future professional I hope to be in a job that I can be very informal and not have to worry too much about the professional stuff. My parents own a business and I like ot feel semi-professional when ever I work for them, but I am always thankful when the summer is over and I can go back to being a student. The only real redeeming quality, beside the salary, in a real job is the new wardrobe that you get to purchase. Business clothes are so fun!!! As an individual, I am just that. I do not care much about what anyone thinks. I am me and thats ok with me if you do not like it, I am not going to change to make that happen. I hope that this shed a little light on who I am in these different capacities!
Kate
ps. I completely forgot to introduce myself, oops! My name is Kate Hausmann and I am a junior. I am a true southerner, born and raised in Georgia and moved to Hilton Head my freshman year of college. I transfered to Clemson after my frosh year at College of Charleston. I am a PRTM major. I love to travel and live from trip to trip. I have three half-brothers and nine nieces and nephews. My Niece Natalie is a sophmore at Georgia Tech, but thats ok, we have fun! I am a member of a sorority and absolutely love every moment of it. I love my sisters (its kind of cheesy i know). If you have any questions just ask. I will let you know!!
