I don't even like small groups of people unless I'm super good friends with everyone. I'm not good in social situations.

I get the same anxiety about public speaking as with big events, but I've found that I get a big rush after I pull everything off. So just focus on all the awesome kudos you'll get next week - and enjoy that $50 a plate food!

I think I would die if I had to share a hotel room with someone I didn't know well. I mean, die from tension that is. Not from them murdering me in the shower.
