I read the rest of the replies, thanks for the good advice and to the people who had stories of people in a similar situation, it is very inspiring that I may have a chance.
Anywho, I think I tried a little bit today; at least moreso than I normally would.
I went up to the main college today to take two finals -- which is I just go into the testing center at any time to take, one at a time -- and the girl at the reception desk (maybe in her late 20's) asked for my ID, class, and things, and I actually made a few witty remarks. I can't remember what exactly I said, but she stopped acting as serious as she first did and started to make witty-replies back and had a big smile!
I came back and said, "Whew, made it out alive!", and she was like, "Most people never make it out!" and laughed, and I told her I had another test to take for another course, so she got out the papers and said I could use notes on it. I didn't know I could use notes... "Notes?" I said. "I'm just gonna wing-it!", and she laughed and wished me good luck.
Corny as that may seem, I think it's a good start for me, when I would have normally just not said anything to her in the first place. But, when I was doing all of this, I felt really good about myself; I didn't even think about my looks or anything, I was like, "Just be Mirth..."
Oh yeah, and then I got a traffic ticket for not completely stopping at a red light (As posted in general discussion). Kinda killed my buzz!!!
So, I'm very busy this week, but next week or this weekend, I'm going to see how costly the gym is and not only build up some tone, but some confidence too!
