Out of my depth
As a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

That class i failed.
so last semester i failed a class... i needed the units so i asked the prof if i could get in, even though i was a grade too low and not a psychology major. so the final rolls around, or as i like to call it my chance to save my slowly failing grade, and i realise as i'm trying to cram the night before that i have no idea what i'm doing and that i can't cram for an in class power point presentation on a project that i was supposed to have been doing all year long. so i just e-mailed the teacher and told him i would just take the failing grade since i more than earned it, and finally got some sleep (damn 8:00am classes).
