tips on how to deal with the butterflies in your stomach? Come to the<br>

called &#8220;Taking the Terror out of Talk&#8221;. It will be part of the 229th<br>
meeting of Toast I.T. Toastmasters, so you'll also get to see a little<br>
bit of what Toastmasters is like.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm now eligible for the Competent Toastmaster (CTM) award! Hooray,<br>
hooray! My tenth speech was named &#8220;Cook or Die&#8221;, and I talked about<br>
how cooking means happiness, comfort and love. =) It was good practice<br>
for the upcoming club competition.</p>
<p>The club gave me a CTM pin and a very interesting book entitled &#8220;48<br>
Laws of Power&#8221;. They also signed a card&#8230; Awww! =)</p>
<p>Happy, happy, joy, joy!</p>
