I too though you would have the summer off. I hope you will not have much pressure during the summer. If i miss three days sleep in a row I start getting a bit paranoid.... I thought it went with the territory. I am so glad about your speech. I have to concentrate on my speech too... Now I even have to concentrate on making it sound up rather than a flat tone. ugh
that is interesting about self talk...you mean pep talk or telling yourself you can get through whatever you have to do?
