The only time I've ever listened to myself speak for CRI was when I copied those links to this blog.
Two things stand out immediately:
- I ramble on a lot
- WHY IS MY VOICE SO HIGH WHY WHY omg I'm an anime girl.

Today I had my Chinese oral presentation and my friend, Martin, said "shit" twice during his speech.  He also made a facetious one liner':
"I like schools with a good environment, where I can feel the softness of healthy green grass in the school yards and watch butterflies flutter around the hedges."
*he pauses to let us laugh*
...
...
...
*nobody laughs*

I was laughing on the inside.

Then he finished up, not with a "thanks for listening" but "YEAHHHH".

And then.

"Thanks for listening."
