I know exactly how you feel. I hate the first day of class....in one of my classes I found out that we have to write a paper and present every week!!! :( I hate presenting but even more then presenting I hate reading in front of others....I'm so tired of it. I had bad chest pains afterward. I e-mailed my teacher to let him know how I felt, but he hasn't contacted meback. I'm thinking about dropping the class but then I'd graduate late...so maybe I should just suck it up. 

I think though that we will get better. Just realizing that other's opinions is really not important helps me. Although it makes me feel extremely lonely. I think your a beautiful and intelligent woman and what others say isn't going to change that. I should be thinking that too, but I give others the power over me it seems like.

Let me know if you ever want to chat...or just e-mail me :)
