Ain't wastin' time no more.

Returned from the Jyonansen (上南戦) yesterday morning and I had some trouble keeping myself awake. Nevertheless, it was a good three-and-a-half days spent without having to worry so much about school, tests, and other things. Made a few friends at Nanzan University including a kid who claims to look like me because of the hairstyle . . . maybe I should take pictures to confirm, eh? The entire experience was hectic and yet quite peaceful. I had such a good time getting to know new people (even from my own team) and removing my inhibitions.
And when Monday afternoon came, I was pretty beat and still had to perform for the SAfro Family. The worst of it was when I was told that I'd be standing in the front row; I didn't know everything in terms of the choreography, so it was easy getting nervous and critical of the atmosphere around me. And I have to admit that I made a handful of mistakes and got upset over it. I told my hockey teammate (who managed to attend for the rest of our performance) that I messed up severely and whaddaya know, the few people to whom I apologized said that, "everyone made mistakes, too," but I still found myself troubled. And they were simple mistakes, too! Dammit, I have work on these things.
And so, today is the SAfro practice. I have a feeling someone took video on it and will show it to everyone. Will be a huge embarassment, but I don't know about that. It's something I don't want to waste my time on feeling, so everything'll seem okay.
