I give zero fucks anymore. I'm currently in college and I've had several classes where I had to record presentations and all that. I used to spend HOURS recording clips, doing hundreds of takes, and editing out my stutter. But I just don't fucking care anymore. I'm submitting one right now that was done in one take and is chock full of stuttering. I don't care if nobody listens to it all. I just want to get this class over with and not spend more time thinking about it. If everyone else is able to do theirs in one take, then I shouldn't feel bad about doing mine in one.
