Essay Presentation

Today was a good day. School was regular. Oh yeah, I told you I would tell you about my presentation. I went to my English class before the time and since there was no one there and all the desks were in a different order than what we needed them to be, I put them in order so that class could start right away. Anyway, when our teacher came he said that there are still some "old homeworks" to deal with, meaning our essay :) So I prepared myself, took the sheet out and I wanted to start reading it to the class. Mr. Schätzle asked: Are you reading from your seat? Since I nodded he continued saying: I don't think this can be done from your seat. In return I said that I don't like being up front and that it makes me uncomfortable, but he on his side, didn't take me seriously even though I was. Presenting this essay to the class was expected but still I didn't like being up front. My voice trembled, I was short on breath,...the typical reactions to nervosity. Theresa said lateron that it wasn't noticeable, but I just don't know. One thing I forgot to mention was, that Mr. Schätzle asked the class, what my body language expressed. I thought this to be very funny and therefore whenever something negative was said, I nodded in agreement or I put my thumbs up. My classmates found out that I am shy, uncomfortable,... after a while my teacher noticed what I was doing, and therefore he started smiling. I did too :)
I mean it is good practice to be up front and usually I don't have a problem with it, but today I did and I have not yet figured out why. There is only one explanation I can think of. I am a person who likes to improvise, and since this essay was all typed out and I just had to read it to the class, I got nervous. On top of that, there was no instruction for the students, except for listening to my essay.
I also had a chemistry presentation which didn't bother me at all (probably because I had to improvise the whole time :)).
There is not much to be said about sports. We played games, had some exercise in the beginning (extremely hard one) and then we tested the trust of people: There was a box (or whatever you call it) about 4 feet tall and one person had to climb up, the others stood in front of it, two by two, clinging to each others arms. We had to stand really close, because the person on the box would fall straight into our arms. The first one to do it was Tobias. Afterwards no one else wanted to try. I mean who knows if you wouldn't fall to the floor. Therefore Mr. Umbscheiden said, he was going to do it himself and he is just not that light :) We were all afraid to drop him. He was so heavy, but we made it. I was the last one to do it. It was actually cool.
I guess that is everything important for today.
