How it Works

My Assignment

Let me get straight to the point. I have an assignment in my Psychology class that I have to learn how to place myself in other people's shoes.

Preferably Nike shoes.

Just kidding!

Not really.

Anyways!

This is how it all began.

My Psychology teacher read everyone's faces and told us what our features tell about us. She said I had peaceful features, the layed-back kind of personality but with an edge if my buttons were pushed.

When something happens to me, I repress it. I don't share anything with anyone, and I rather hide things than speaking about them.

She was spot on!

I was assigned to act as a person who had suffered an accident and I have to TALK about it.

This is a nightmare for me.

I'd rather write about it! It's hard for me to express.

I know that 's her point, wanting it to be difficult for me. She 's testing me and seeing if I'm gonna be able to do it.

I'm not used to it, I've never done this before. But I like to push myself to the edge, rather than letting someone push me.

I'm a nervous wreck! How am I gonna do this?!

I'll do my best at least . . .

God help me.

I "chose" to be a person who was in a car accident and lost my memory. Seems like a surreal, dramatic story.

That's the point!

I have to act like it, make everyone believe that it actually happened; which is the hardest part.

I might have to fake cry eventually!

Jesus......

Tell my mom I love her if I don't survive this.

I'll do my best!

I'm trying to be optimistic, don't ruin this for me.

Hopefully I won't choke up like I usually do in front of an audience.

Well that's.... Reassuring.

It's not like I have stage fright, I just suffered through anxiety since I was a kid. Still trying to cope with it.

It's getting better, more or less. I was able to participate in other events with the spotlight on me.....literally.

I chose psychology as my elective because I'm eventually going to study it in college, as something small though. My actual major requires it.

And it seems interesting, so I chose it. It's not me at all, but what the hell. What am I gonna lose?

I hope I don't mess this up or I'll be messed up.

Wish me luck!

Read ya later!
