Day 76 - Solo/Ensemble

So, solo/ensemble...

First, my body decided to wake me up at 5am. Not fun. And I had a painful throat (still do, in fact), which I nursed with water and Ricola cough drops. Then I started to get so nervous that I only ate a tiny amount of Cheerios. It was better after jazz choir sang (we got a 2). I ate the bagel I had gotten from Huxdotter's.

300 calories right there.

Then Steve and I sang and we were fantabulous (we got a 2), and then I felt so much better. Then I sang my solo (at 3:10, extremely late in the day), and I felt so much better after it. Mrs. Snavely hugged me and told me she was proud of me :) And everyone was so supportive and awesome. Spencer was fantastic. I'm so glad I asked him to play for me. He's so cool. I like him a lot, but it's so weird because he's so different than everyone else that sometimes I don't even know how to act around him because I don't know how to react, but he's fantastic. And just... I can't even explain it. I'm really glad he played for me.

And I got a 1-! That's the best score I've ever gotten at solo/ensemble! At first, I was really disappointed that I didn't make state and that I wasn't an alternate, but then I realized that I had sung really well and that I didn't do it for the competition. So I wish I could have been an alternate, but hey, what can ya do? I'm pleased with how I sang.

Except now I feel like I've been run over by a bus. My head and throat are killing me. Stupid sickness. It's because I worked four days last week... which was finals week. Stress is bad.

So...

Bagel - 300 calories
Small bowl of Cheerios - 170
Big bowl of Cheeries - 400
1 mug of blueberry tea - 0
Tons of Ricola/other cough drops - 100

I should probably go eat more to keep my metabolism up.

Just... today was so amazing. I feel really good about how I did. I just feel really good. And I feel like I made a new friend, too, because I'd never spent so much time with Spencer. He's fantastic. I keep saying that, but it's true. He also fascinates me. He's so intensely mature for his age, and I would just love to get to understand him better.

OH! And I have a sort-of-semi crush. He's shy and quiet and sweet :)
