So I did it.
I finally checked off this bucket list item "Sing in front of a group of people larger than my family (with an actual microphone)." I think the room filled with over 100 people should count. Could I have sang a more upbeat song? Sure. Could I have actually looked out and smiled while I was singing the song "Smile"? Sure. But hey, I was pretty proud that I went up there without fainting in the middle of it. I never fully understood how people could get physically messed up by getting in front of people until I actually did. All was well until Dave started playing the guitar and then a sudden heat wave, crazy stomach, and shaky fingers began. At least my voice didn't leave me.
This all started with the Chinese New Year party invitation. I excitedly read the line "Sign up for the Talent show!" Immediately my assumptions were planted thinking that with all the people going to this party, a lot of them (inlcuding my friends) would sign up. So much for assuming....I should have known better. Luckily I was able to get my two good friends Liz and Hannah to sign up to at least take the pressure off from being 1 out of 6 performers. Sorry girls for getting you into this....
All in all, even though it wasn't a "perfect moment" by any means....I did go to bed smiling. Just that sound in my head of "Ch-check!" (on the bucket list...haha). One thing down, plenty more to go. Just to put it out there, Cassie Chase was my biggest motivator.....sorry I didn't do "Stand by you". Maybe next time.
