cold feet?

The other day my mom's friend sent her an Irish newspaper that happened to have an article about the festival we're going to. My picture was there with along with two other girls from New York and Philadelphia. There was a short article about what great Irish stepdancers they were and how they go to Ireland every summer and compete etc, etc. All it said about me was that I was an actress/student. They made up something about me having marched in parades in NY/Philly. This makes me really nervous because 1. I wasn't sure there would be two other American girls, I figured there might be another one but yeah. and 2. I'm scared that all these girls are going to have so much more to offer than I will. Sure I have red hair and freckles but I'm feeling very unIrish now after having read that article. I don't have any dancing background, or super Irish connections like these dancing schools and whatnot. I've never been to Ireland and when I get there I will be staying with girls I don't know at all and for some reason I have this feeling that the Irish girls would be more friendly than the American girls. I could be wrong, but it's just a feeling I have. When I was in England most people seemed a little snobby, especially girls around my age- so I'm hoping the Irish girls I meet will be a lot different. As the day I leave gets closer I get more and more nervous that I won't make any friends or that they will be catty or I will be uncomfortable the whole time.

If anyone has a suggestion of a poem/monologue I could use some ideas! I doubt anyone reads this anyways haha
