Cheering for you! Try really hard not to get too down. Try to take some deep breaths and to get back to a place where you can have an open mind. I'm so sorry that you were cut by your favorites, but I'm really hoping that something will happen that will make you fall in love with the ones that you have left. Try to relax, continue to try and be yourself. My fingers and toes are crossed for you!!!

My trick whenever I'm in a very awkward conversation: Try to find something to admire about the other person - physical, impression, something they've said, whatever. Everyone you meet has something great about them. Not so you can verbally compliment them on it, but so that you can become more personally interested in them and then more personable and at ease. Most of the time it works, even if all I can come up with is, "Wow, she has beautiful skin."
