This weekend has been quite enjoyable.
After school on friday I went out to lunch with Lauren. Love her. Then I met up with the other girls and we went to go see 27 Dresses. Loved it. Then I came home, took a nap and went to practice for the rest of the night. It actually wasn't all that bad. We didn't do any basics and everyone was in a great mood due to our first show being the next day.
Saturday was probably the most exhausting day of my life. Got up early to take a shower. Left the house for practice around 8:30am. Practiced until 3:00pm. Went to Brianna's to do hair, left there at 5:00pm for West Bloomfield. Performed at approx. 8:30 pm and went in for awards at approx. 9:15pm. Went to taco bell, then to Shannon's to watch the video and arrived back at my house at approx. 11:00pm. SERIOUSLY?!
It was worth it. ALL worth it. It may have been the longest day of my life, but it was probably the most satisfying day of my life. Everything is so different this year. In the past I was so used to being so close with everyone, and I was so afraid that the three of us were going to be outcasts this year. This is not the case...at all. This winterguard is a huge family. We have so much fun. Everybody is so friendly, and helpful and fun and hilarious. Not to mention incredibly talented. At first I had my doubts about the show theme, but the guard as a whole is just so great at it. Last night we were second to last to perform. Just thinking about being in such a high class winterguard gives me such a sense of accomplishment. I have always wanted to succeed in guard...since the day I started. I worked my ass off, and here I am. Spinning on an Independent Open guard. On the rifle line, even. An opening dancer even. It is one of the most amazing feelings to know that I pushed myself to do something and made it. As soon as the judges announced our guard all of my nerves just went away. The crowd LOVED us. They went CRAZY. There was so much energy it was unbelievable. It was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Okay, I'm done.
10 bucks says you don't have it in you
to conquer fear and quit believing what they tell you to.
I hate to break this to you, but being a coward is not a legitimate career.
