Bored Witless!

Here I am 10 days later, still sitting and listening to Zevon, ok so it is actually an album of Zevon covers, but Zevon is Zevon no matter who does it.
I was staying at the Westin
I was playing to a draw
When in walked Charlton Heston
With the Tablets of the Law
He said, “It’s still the Greatest Story”
I said, “Man, I’d like to stay
But I’m bound for glory
I’m on my way
My ride’s here…”“My Ride’s Here” – Warren Zevon
The grades are in and the crying is over. I survived! Time to take a week or so off and start getting my head in the game for my last undergrad semester. Of course there is just one little problem between me and that last semester. It is called Speech Communications and it is a 4 week class that meets 4 times a week for 2.5 hours at a time. I have dreaded this class since I began going to school. I truly dislike speaking to groups of people when it is something that I have to write. Hell, I bore myself…how can I help from doing the same to my audience.
Now that I think about it, maybe boredom is the way to go. If my professor is bored to sleep then maybe he will not know how bad I did. I will have to ponder on this for a bit.

You’ll do fine. Just pick aspects of the speech topic that get you riled and you’ll rant like there’s no tomorrow.
