"But I've drawn the conclusion, it's all an illusion Confusion's the name of the game A misconception, a vast deception Something's got to change . . . So get in where you fit, and go on and shine Clear your mind, now's the time Put your salt on the shelf Go on and love yourself Cause everything is gonna be alright" Something about that song always makes me smile. Its uplifting, and oddly liberating. I have needed some form of 'pick-me-up' lately, what with the events taking place in the near future. Vocal Rally - Wednesday. Play Auditions - Thursday. Very nervous. Hopefully seniority will not affect the distributing of the lead roles. For I am a lowly Junior. I am more apprehensive about Vocal Rally. Mostly because this is my first year going, and I am not making much progress with my song. A few of my friends and I were talking earlier, and I reached epiphany. I am going to be a senior next year. My 16th and final year at Ecole Classique. Then it's off into a whole new world. A dazzling place I never knew. Okay, sorry. But seriously . . . It's a scary thought. I have grown accustomed to Ecole. The place where everybody knows your name. I can only see myself on Graduation night, standing behind the podium (because i plan to be at least salutatorian) looking like a deer in headlights. I don't know where I will go from high school. And i'm positive i will re-enact this same rant quite a few times over the next year. So i will think of this epiphany as the beginning of the next chapter. The prelude to the wonderful story in which I will, hopefully, play the Heroine. Sorry about the random cheeseball lyrics everywhere. Who says ordinary people don't burst out into song? .Map
