AFTER LIKE 30 YEARS! (practice beginnings)

So, i've completed my presentation, and have worked on my note-cards,
They're both finished, and practice starts tomarrow morning,
Part of me says I'm ready, but another says I'm not.

My basically if you cut me in thirds, my head will be the only part of me against presenting.
mainly because i know that part of me isnt going to want to wake up in the morning,
and that's the reason i signed up for a later slot, so that i have cushion time just in case I'm a little late. Also I Don't really like presenting in front of people, its not my strongest point...
and the idea of presenting in-front of a bunch of people I don't know is just driving me insane...

So, other than the fear of me being late.............
and the Fear of my panelists...........
I'm Ready To Present........

Action Plan Update!

I've created my sample ribbon for my action plan,
and I've emailed a local business that does embroideries called "All Pro Embroidery" to see if they have ribbon they can donate or sell to me for my ribbons, the ribbons will be 6" by 1/2" folded in half for the ribbon.

Im hoping this company can donate the ribbon rather than selling because I don't have alot of money to spend. But I'm willing to pay if I have to.

I'm hoping that this company will reply back to my email soon, so that I can get to work on making the ribbons so i can start selling them ASAP to raise as much money as possible.

Update!

There has been an article posted online about a possible breakthrough on a vaccine for HIV and AIDS.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/24/hiv-Infection-vaccine-aids-breakthrough

This potentially could help to protect people from HIV and AIDS with the second fact that it will not fully protect anyone, in the article there was a study done and out of 8197 people given the vaccine only 51 were infected with HIV, and out of 8196 who were given a dummyshot only 74 were infected.
So therefore there is only a 31% of people given the vaccine being infected by HIV and AIDS, which is not as good as 100% but is still a good breakthrough for the first one since the discovery of HIV causing AIDS.

Im working on my website and im getting really bored with it, and i cant think of anything else i need to do other than my peer edits on my literature review. But the good thing is that my website is nearing completion, but there is still work to be done.

My surveys have been copied and are being passed out...
I've also made an excel spreadsheet to "TABULATE" all of my results...
(I like saying that word.)

and I think i have about 40-60 copies of the survey...
I've Got Serious Work To Do!
and I need to get my action plan approved by Ms. Savido and get it allowed
by Dr. Wertheimer...
Then I need to find a speaker... D=

Cha-Ching!

I've Finished My Survey!

Its being copied and ill be putting it out around lunch time
so that I don't upset administration with surveying people during class...

I have to survey people of all ages,
people outside of school and inside...
and this is going to be the problem, I dont have
the courage to ask a random person to take a survey,
especially if I dont know them.

Im also planning to have some kind of discussion/lecture in the cafeteria,
and i have to find a date to do this, so that is another thing that I have to accomplish.
