Congratulations on doing well with your speech! I hated speaking in public in college, too. I had a traumatic experience in my Public Speaking class.
I was taking my classes in the evenings after work, so normally I would leave work and drive downtown, find a place to park my car, then grab some fast food or something for supper and get ready for class. On the night I was scheduled to be videotaped giving a speech that I had worked weeks on, I walked over to McDonald's ahead of time and ordered a Filet-o-Fish sandwich. It seemed to have too much tartar sauce on it, so I took the top of the bun off to scrape some of it off -- and dropped it right on my chest, sauce side down, dead center. I had absolutely no time to do anything about it, so I gave my speech -- on tape -- with a huge grease spot in the middle of my shirt.
I was horrified then, but it's funny now.
