Nothing to fear but fear itself..?  
My greatest enemy these days has been fear. I really hate the awkward moments in classes where there's dead silence because nobody dares to answer the teacher, or even make a guess to the question. Why? Because we're afraid to be wrong! (Except my friend Christa who decided not to answer becuase she wanted to see what the teacher would do if no one piped up. I told her afterwards she was sadistic. XD)

That's some weird fear I have to get over myself. I hate leaving class with a sinking feeling of  "I should have just said something, even if I end up being wrong!" I get so angry at myself for wimping out just because I was afraid. It doesn't make me feel good at all! I'm a coward! XD

One of these days I'll get over it, maybe. The first step is to speak up! (And in a clear voice, too. No mumbling!)

YESSS! I hate it when I'm the only person talking in class, I feel like everyone just doesn't care and I'm taking up their precious hearing energy or something. Its awesome when I ask a question and other people say stuff about it, like ask questions that elaborate on my question. I think "Hey, I must have just asked an interesting question, or one other people were thinking about too :P". Class is more fun when you speak up! I used to have that problem too, then I started wearing red pants and focusing on not caring about what people thought of me. And then theres the times everyone laughs at what you just said XD Like we were talking about femme fatales in Film class, and I mentioned Cruella De Vil, and everyone laughed (with me, not at me... or, it would have been with me if I was actually joking) like crazy, and I was sitting there like O___o Really? Anyway, I second that motion! Speak up! ^_^
