News - Toastmasters

I re-joined Toastmasters this month.  It really helps to practice public speaking when you're a student, and especially when you have to do presentations.  I first joined a few years ago, in Calgary, but we moved, and I couldn't find a club I particularly liked until now.  They meet at a convenient time for me, whereas, most of the other clubs had times either really early in morning, or lunch-time.  The club I have joined meets at 5pm on Tuesdays at the university.  So, that's where I'll be this evening.  Ugh!  I already have butterflies in my stomach.  I have always wondered why some people can speak to a crowded room, with no problem, while others (me, in particular) would rather jump into a caldron of boiling water, then face that crowd ... and speak ... words ... that make sense.
