Success!! part 2 (64/90)

Alright. So, I'm starting this post where I left off in the previous post as I did not want the post to be too long. Plus, I thought I wouldn't have anything to write today anyways. Turns out, this was true.

I set up the forum on my website and then had to leave Evie because she was tired and I had to go to another meeting at the student center. Before I left, I realized I was hungry so I decided to grab pizza on my way out from Woodworth. I got some Hawaiian pizza which turned out to be way better than I expected. Awesome!

My next destination was the Fashion Show rehearsal which started at 4pm so I was a little late. Not that it mattered. Nobody had made any progress except setting up the stage. I was really impressed with how the stage was set up. City lights, buildings, christmas lights? Oh yeah!

[After an hour of hanging out with some people later]
Oh no. Dress rehearsal. This is the part where we actually walked with the outfits we put together before the show starts! Whatever shall we do about this horrifying nightmare? Damn, you could totally tell I was faking, didn't you. This was the part of the night where I swear to you that I wore what felt like the most comfortable clothes ever. Thanks to Mo. He let me borrow a sweater for an outfit I put together. After wearing that sweater, I'm definitely considering in getting my share of the same type of sweater. In another hour, the Fashion show starts..

And now, the time has come to test our hard work. We have been meeting weekly since the semester started trying to get this show put together. This last week, we met 4 times because we felt a little crunched in the amount of time we had to prepare for this show. To be honest, most of the final touches were done at the last minute. We had so many people stressing out even right before the show. (Did we get the lights right? Do we have all of the outfits? Is everyone here? Will we be able to keep the show running long enough?) But in the end, the show was a huge success! So many people applauded. We got so much praise. We all felt so awesome!

My little thoughts of walking on stage:
I was so concerned with my facial expression throughout the whole thing. Chris had told me not make any weird expressions (which I always seem to do). He told me to look a little annoyed and to squint my eyes a little. When I walked on stage, I felt really uncomfortable because I was told to stand at the very front of the stage for 2-3 seconds while all of these people took pictures of me. Every time I walked, I kept thinking that I turned too fast because people were still taking pictures while I was walking away from them. Another thing that made me really uncomfortable. I walked multiple times so after the first time, I kept seeing the same people look at me. Each time, it became harder and harder to not make eye contact with the audience. Oh well, I'm sure the audience enjoyed seeing the same person multiple times (XD Sam). I'm sure seeing people they recognized kept their attention.
