Intro to "Eight Minute Hour"

The "Eight Minute Hour" is a journal that i had to write. The prompt was "i am nervous," which we did in the beginning of the quarter when we did our show not tell paper. This journal was also a show not tell piece. The reason i chose to have this journal in my portfolio is because i really like the way i described everything. I did a good job at showing i was nervous, rather then bluntly saying "I'm nervous." A good example i came across in the paper was, "Heat rushes to my head as i stand up. My hearts beating so loud in my ear it sounds like it's about to fall out."
