Valedictory Speech

Baaa... it is the end of the week!!! So fast- yet another week flew past before me. Well, this week was much more relaxing compared to the last 2 weeks although, my homework is still piling up but i was able to be more "productive" in terms of getting around doing my studies.
Nothing exciting happen this day but i guess the exciting or should i say the more unexpected news got was on Wednesday. I was told that i am to prepare a Valedictory Speech to be presented on the 25th March. I was in my utmost shock to hear that- it is so close to it and WHAT!! Valedictory?? I was clueless and speechless. After like about stoning for a couple of minutes, i turned around and ask my student adviser, why me? erm... are you sure? I am so not going to do it. This was the first phrase i uttered. I was just totally lost and filled with uncertainty. I have never written a speech of such kind or even to say close to that, done/ hear it before and WHAT MORE i have never imagine myself doing it.
Before i knew what is next, i was sitting in her office and she was like so- you will have to write something that is entertaining, exciting, your experience, thanks- on behalf of your graduating class. Ok, got it? I was not even listening; i was so scare and part of me was like can i don't do it. This is harder than exam, i passionately dislike being in the limelight. Anyhow, she was like ok, send me your draft latest in a week and then we will practice, so off you go now. I was not even sure if that is a dream or a nightmare but i am sure it was one of it.
Thus, i got home and sat in my bed thinking about it- why me, how am i to do it, should i do it, what am i to expect, what if i don't do it, what if i can't do it well------ plenty of question filled my head. the phone rang, it was granny- i totally forgotten that i was to call her that day but she called instead as she was missing me- so as we chat, i decided to tell her and hoping she will side me of not doing it. But guess what! she was like oh really that great, you can do it, you are to do it... i am so happy for you... i was like... hmm.. you are to agree with me and not to push my thoughts in doing it.
Long story short- i got brainwashed at the end. So, i took the entire last 2 days night working on it and trying to get inspiration to do it. It was finally done this day. But, now got to go and get proof readers and then send it to my advisor. Hopefully, there will not be a need to do much changes. At the moment, i am thinking happy thoughts on this note cos i think since i have made up my mind to do it i will look at the brighter side and do it to my utmost best.
So ya, other than this news... nothing much- oh, this night, when over to Alison's room and caught up with her- Friday night date. It was good- we had a good laugh over silly things- this day the topic was on pigs. hahaa
