First day back to my 2nd semester today, and I already had both of my classes want introductions. Having introductions is literally the stutter equivalent to death row. You know when you're gonna get called on, you know you're gonna look like a dumbass, you know your mind is gonna go blank when they call on you. And actually in my 2nd class of the day the professor called my name and I didn't even get up for attendance because I was still anxious from the one earlier that day. I of course went to my professor afterwards and told him about it and he said I was fine and he understands. I fucking hated doing that. I just don't wanna look like a dumbass on my first day back, but first days are always the worst and it went exactly how I seen it happening in my mind. I have 3 more classes to go, wish me luck. I'm gonna need it, especially for my Philosophy class where my Professor's syllabus makes him looks like a complete tool.
