I hate phones

I hate making phone calls to people I don't know sooooo much. I have a hard enough time communicating in any oral way, and the phone just makes it a million times worse. I'm trying to call people from all these groups that BRIDGE has worked with before so that I can meet with them later this week and see if they can help me with my study. After 2 calls I'm drained and I need to talk to like 7 more. Gah! I was originally going to pawn this off on a woman here who has worked with all these people before, but she's at a workshop today and tomorrow. Damn workshops.
