next time i am on the agenda to do a speech evaluation i will bring my manual in case the speaker forgets theirs. for some reason i was nervous doing today's...

perhaps the fact that the make shift evaluation page i made for myself during the meeting (in leiu of an actual manual to write in) was for speech #2. then i realized this person was doing project #3 and reworked it, and the chair person introduced her project objectives by reading the goals for project #2. ACK.

luckily, she did a great job and i had lots to enthuse about. she seems to always talk about love and i love learning about healthy relationships... what could be a better reason to get to class?did you know that on average most people have 1-3 intimate relationships going on? she made nice analogies using foot bridges, and draw bridges and suspension bridges...

she joined at the same time as me. and just did her third. will she get the same feedback that i did? i did my third with this club last week and rec'd the feedback that i might benefit from slowing down on the pace of presentations. i wonder if it is only when you are further along in the manual projects that it would be better to spread your projects over more time? or if this was a special message just for the (over)enthusiastic me...

for sure i did a good job as an officer of the club today, even if i'm the only one who is proud of me. and i am prepared to put required club supplies on my visa this week and pay the interest til the treasurer shows up...

i am not offering to go do any officer training yet though - even though i know this club could use that sort of development and "outside" recognition. i think it would be considered pushy instead of helpful, so i'll direct my energies where they are wanted.
