Out of my depthAs 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?

maths as-levelLast year i was faced with the biggest decision Id ever had to make.... choosing my A-levels. Now having miraculously got decent GCSE's after no revison I foolishly believed I was clever and that A-levels would be a walk in the park. Chose maths for some weird reason and from day one I was so far outta my depth it was untrue!!! Even the adding and subtracting was difficult!! It comes to coursework I leave it till the final deadline of the extension of the extension and finally panic!!! Get a mate whos on maths course at uni to 'explain' the work to me via MSN which I copy and pasted and handed in as my final piece complete with her MSN name puncuating some of the sentences!!! I deserved my 'U' I think......
