I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 96: Speech Delivery
So. Today I delivered my speech to my Toastmasters group. I wasn't terribly nervous. I was more worried about the feedback they would give me. (I gave each person there a piece of paper so that they could give me feedback on my speech content, which I could then use for my philosophy paper.)
Result: I was pretty pleased with how I did. But apparently I talked fast. I had to squeeze a semester's worth of material into a 10 minute speech! That's easier said than done. I got positive feedback except for the fast talking thing. And I did a good job explaining what existentialism is. So yay :-) I am definitely glad that is done!
