Good news: I have something to say to that subcommittee tomorrow. I will now rehearse it a few times because that's my way. I actually talk out loud to myself. Is that weird? Does everyone do that? I always tell my students to do it, but most of the time they look at me like I'm insane.
Next, I'll figure out what to wear. Also, I need lesson plans for tomorrow.
Never a dull moment at this new school, I'm telling you. Never even a single one.

I do it. The practicing out loud before giving a talk. And then it's completely different when I give the real talk, but I think it helps to get the bugs out. You will be great at the talk, of course. Of that, I have no doubt.
I talk out loud to myself all the time, even regularly rehearsing insignificant upcoming conversations. Doesn't everybody?
I do it too. I heard once that talking to yourself is a trait of intelligent people. I think that person just made that up to make herself feel better for talking to herself all the time, but in this case, I think it works.
I think everyone should. Tomorrow I will tell my students to edit their papers by reading them aloud multiple times and only one or two will follow my directions.
How did the talk go? I always practice out loud...much more effective than quiet practice! love, mom
