Technically Late

OK OK. Technically late, on my second entry but hey. Finished my first day of Public Speaking yesterday. Came in late because I freaking LOCKED MY SELF OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! Anyways after I broke into my own home, I arrived late. So what does Jose do? He "sneaks" all the way to the last seat; by sneak I mean like this picture above special thanks to http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/haunts29.jpg for that Pic by the way. I made such a distraction that the teacher had to ask me to just walk normal, and that he realized that I was late. Of course as soon as I sat down, my phone rang!! strike two. Lucky for me I was pretty well prepared I actually read the book, and the chapters we were supposed to. I ended on a very positive note. I was asked to share my best memory. I smoke of the Monache High School flag poll. Where I met Courtney, my wife. I did speech well (in my opinion) for an amature speaker. I was even able to move someone to tears. Woot Woot! So a little charisma paid off. Most people will say that their kids are their greatest blessings, or best memories. I must say that the wife comes first, sorry kids (if and when you read this). i do love you, but without  your mom, you would still be that twinkle in my eye lol.
I'll share one more thing; in the book it says that most (there's usually the exception to the rule) people get nervous when speaking. Even if they do it professionally. Some fellow students commented on how confident I seemed. That maybe so, I had to consciously slow my speaking rate ( I could tell I was speeding up), I swear I could feel (and see) my hands trembling. Non of that was apparent. The speech I made was impromptu as well. I spoke off the cuff. Anyways, school is always fun. So tomorrow for sure I'll be on time.
