Guess who didn't get screwed over by old ladies!?
This girl! Yeah, that's right, I'm awesome. On Saturday of the tournament I qualified my POI and Drama. But something crazy happened in my final round of drama. Let me give you a quick racap...
Jessie:"...I was living on the couch of this Bhud..."
Fire Alarm: BEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (ad infinitum)
Jessie:"...dist forest ranger." (look to judges in panic)
Judges: (blank stare)
Jessie: (look to audience)
Audience: (Haley nodding fervently)
Jessie: "Who was the first Bhuddist I'd ever met. Or forest ranger for that matter."
Fire Alarm: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
And I continue to speak hoping that someone will come in and interrupt me or the judges will tell me to stop because the FIRE ALARM IS GOING OFF!!! Needless to say, the quiet, reflective points in the piece were not as quiet or reflective. Once I was done, a coach from Concordia came in and told us that we needed to get out of the building. Gosh, that would have been nice to know EIGHT MINUTES AGO!!
I was doing a lot of yelling in my head. Everyone said I handled it well. I got third. I qualified to Florida. And now I have a somewhat awesome story.
*I feel I should also add that the day previous I was chatting with some people about unexpected things happening to you during a round like getting the hiccups or the fire alarm going off.
