Oral.

(The speaking kind) I had my GCSE English oral assessment today. I had to talk for a couple of minutes about my Work Experience. Speaking in front of a relatively large amount of people, and by this I mean more than 7, has never been my forté. I had over worked myself up about it all per usual and was growing to dread the moment where I would have to speak in front of the entire class. Thinking back about it now, it seems so silly, as it always does, that I got so nervous. But the strange thing that happened this time was that I didn't feel as nervous as I had in the past, my heart was beating fast, but it wasn't the kind of fast where you can actually see my chest moving and my hair vibrating. My body went into to spack mode though. I could feel my head twitching and my body going in to slight tremors and spasms. Nevertheless, after my teacher started asking questions in a more conversation type way, I began to feel a bit more comfortable and a little less nervous. Despite this, my mouth had turned as dry as a desert and I could hear a strange noise coming from my mouth every time I spoke, the sound of a dry tongue lapping against a dry mouth. I feared people would judge me in an even more unpleasant way than they have in the past. I notice now that my feelings and thoughts towards today's event are more than a little ambiguous. In some ways I enjoyed the talk, there was an overwhelming feeling of "Hey, I wanna do this again now!" as soon as it had finished, but also, looking back at how nervous I got, I'm also very, very glad that Its done now and I can properly look forward to the end of year 10 and the start of my summer holiday.

Enough of that now. Lets turn to yesterday, well, maybe just last night. Myself, my sister and my mother were supposed to all go and see the new movie "Mamma Mia!" in the cinemas. My sister decided she had better things to do. So it just ended up being my mum and I. I felt like I was the adult and she was the child again. Anyway, it was a very very good film, much better than I had expected. I left the cinema feeling very happy indeed, with a better outlook on life in general. Kudos to that film.
