As I have been running on pure adrenaline this week, I haven’t really been worried about HOW well I’ve been doing. Only that I’m doing it. I had the second portion of my LEAD Facilitator Application Process in the afternoon and I think I did fairly well.
I went to Investments on Monday night, and despite completing the homework assignment in two hours, I comprehended very little of the lecture. But I’m not very intimidated, as I’d planned for this to be my hardest class. Tuesday brought a bit of breathing room which I used to read some of the cases I need to know this week.
Then it was time for my first company presentation of the New Year, and an invite-only dinner. I walked into the room with another 250 people and blanched. I didn’t really feel up to talking to people. Especially given that it wasn’t actually talking, but the parrot act we all perform for our select list of companies. I talked with a few students who hadn’t seen me in so long; they’d assumed I’d dropped out of school. Eventually I got my act together and talked to a couple of company representatives.
I was really trying to gear myself up for the dinner, since it would be a lot less people and therefore a lot more attention. It was actually pretty enjoyable, and I always meet some more classmates at these things. I definitely have to get my momentum back!
