"Big Week 1" Presentation+Reflection post

I felt like the presentations were similar to STAC live from last year, except in miniature form! Ellen's dubstep sounded professional...Matt's film used really cool special effects...John's trailer was impressive...Andrew's skit was crazy (after the initial confusion, you got a hang of who was who- or rather who was he currently speaking as)...Megan's video effects (I have to ask her how she did that light saber one....I feel like learning how to do special effects like that may come in handy in the future...)...Jessica's performance was intense...Emily wowed everyone again...

I was EXTREMELY nervous about singing. Earlier in the week I actually read something to my whole congregation, but the fact that this was something I had created made it scarier than that... Also, I didn't have much practice singing with the instrumental I created, so I was trying to sing along to it in my head all during the school day...

During the performance, I missed some of the lyrics , and I wasn't sure if I sang so people could hear (I feel like I would have been more confident and would have done better if I had more time to practice.)

...But everyone was really supportive, and I was glad of that because I felt like I messed up, but no one said anything about it. I'm also glad that I didn't break down and pressed ahead while I was up in front of the class. (Actually, I felt like I was going to cry when I sat down again, and I ended up getting a little teary with Emily's piece...)

I'm also posting the final draft of my lyrics, in case anyone would like to read them:

Places normally crowded
the heat quickly blows
into cool
-molecules

standing in the sun
then clouds come
tag along
-clinging

Grey clouds
follow me
some say it's a
curse
but I see what I want to see
the green of every tree
and the silence of
the sound

striding (or standing?) in the rain
all around's the same
an umbrella world
population decreasing
-cohesion

one
feeling clinging
time ins moving on
following the way
along the silent path
like the non-existent
shadow
-one

Grey clouds
follow me
some say it's a
curse
but I see what I want to see
the green of every tree
and the silence of
the sound

have to stop have to go
during this time everything's slow
time likes to wait
for the watcher
