I don't know why I am like this but I am awkward. I've been doing better but I still sense the awkwardness every time I meet new people and talk in front of strangers. Right now, I am actually in the Biology lab, listening to people present their topics. My seminar isn't due till next week but I am so nervous right now. I have a partner who I barely know and I am not so sure how to meet with her to work on the powerpoint presentation.
To think about it, even on Xbox 360, I barely use my headset. I would listen to play but I barely talk to them. I know there are people like me out there but come on! This is getting ridiculous. Maybe it's my background. If you guys haven't realized, I am not Canadian nor American. I was born in Korea, came over to Canada when I was 13 years old which means I spent my last 7 years in Canada. I am technically Canadian but I still have this thing that I am no better than white Canadian students. Right now I see people who are either on Facebook or looking at the board soullessly as two presenters are talking about Catfish. This should be a good sign for me but still, I can't stop thinking that my "ego" and pride will be ruined.
I am not better than anyone in this room. I am just a normal guy but this ego of mine.. so foolish of me. I used to have this pride that I am better than everyone and now that I think about it, I am ashamed. Anyway, that's it for me today. I can't wait to get over with all these things and one day, I shall talk about my glorious public speaking skill with you all. The time 3:32 PM.
