I feel I've accomplished being more confident in front of crowds. Why? Because when I had my critique for the end of the year back in Boston, I actually felt pretty okay talking in front of everyone about my work. Normally I get REALLY nervous and forget everything I am going to say, but this time I didn't so much. I even had a couple of people tell me that I am a great public speaker. Talk about a huge change from last year when I could barely even introduce myself to strangers!
It feels great being more confident. I want to keep it up. Yes, I will still have my moments of shyness, but I feel more...normal, now, I guess. I don't freak out over everything I say and do, I don't feel as if everything is staring at me--it's like art school has completely started changing me for the better. Heck, I even have to credit a dumbass I've been talking to for the last few months at school too.
It's weird, but it just really hit me I guess.
I guess the most significant changes just hit you without warning.
And for once, I'm glad.
