SCU INVITATIONAL

I BROKE.
I FREAKING BROKE FOR SEMI-FINALS TOMORROW. HOLY CRAP/
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. LOL LOLLY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME AND THE FIRST THING I SAID WAS, "SHUT UP! YOU'RE LYING TO ME!" DUDE, CRAZY!

And to think I was considering skipping out today, throwing the money down the toilet, just because my nerves were completely shot. AHHHHH :) I knew I gave it my all today and I definitely didn't expect to break for the next level but I did! So congrats to me, I'm proud of myself for doing my best.

OH! PS. this is for Impromptu Speech. Hellsa fun, my first time/first invitational EVER! I got to know and hang out with hella people from schools like Leland, Evergreen, Bellarmine (goodlooking much?) and other farther out places like Stockton! It was so boss, unbelievably. I loved every minute of it... other than last night and this morning when I was freaking out over being Novice (aka NOOB) with a capital N!

I signed up 2 weeks ago or so, thinking that Impromptu would be a complete CINCHE being that I love talking on the spot so I didn't even worry about it - hella cockiness. Then last week, I practiced for my first time in front of the Speech CAPTAIN and COMPLETELY tanked. It was, by far, the nastiest speech that's ever came out of my mouth. My speech sounded something like: "Sunshine... uhm, like. Sunshine makes kids happy. So you know, like, when you, like, go outside and it's a rainy day and you, like, feel sad? And then the sun comes out! And you're a lot happier. And like, uhm..." Yeah, after that, I was thinking, "Frickin' crap, I'm effed." Seriously. I was so freaked out and I didn't want to go at all. Buuuttttt... I did! And I did my best AND had HELLAAA fun with it!
...
Unlike Mr. Guy next to me in the 3rd round who could NOT stop sucking up to the judge. It was ridiculous! "OH HELLO SIR. PLEASE, TAKE A SEAT. WHY YOU LOOK TIRED! I LIKE YOUR TIE. AND YOUR SHOES, WOW! THEY'RE SO SHINY!" Dude, it's really lame when you try to kiss ass with the judges in ANYTHING, honestly. Be POLITE but don't lick their shoes.

For the last round, the genre was SONG TITLES, and I had "Beauty is Only Skin Deep" by The Temptations and I started by singing, dancing and snapping in place to it, HAHA! My judge started laughing and that really loosened me up. My last round was definitely the best of the 3 :) Today was hella bomb.

Soo.. tomorrow, 8:30AM, bright and early at Santa Clara University! Do I expect to break for finals? Not really, a lot of people I'm competing against have gone to MANY more conventions than me. But I DO expect myself to give it my all even though I lack the experience most of the other people have; also, to take in constructive criticism without letting my pride get all UP in my FACE. I love Speech, fabulous. :)
