If I could just go a day without stuttering.

If I could just go a day without stuttering. I've got an interview tomorrow and I've been practicing for it all day. I can't even get by the "Tell us about yourself part" without breaking down. What's funny is that a week ago, I had to present in class and felt so good about it. I didn't stutter once and I felt hopeful for the first time in a long time afterwards. Then this whole week it's just all gone to shit. This sucks so much and I would give up anything to talk normally for a day. Not to have to substitute words, not having to skirt my way around certain sounds. If I could speak the way I sound in my head, I'd be so happy.
