Noooo!

Take 1: I’m not ready at all! Not enough hours in the day to prepare. Also doesn’t help that I procrastinated so much. I’m gonna mess up and embarrass myself in front of everyone and then I’m gonna get last place and it’ll all just be a waste of time. All my (last-minute) effort will be a waste, and I would have gotten sicker ‘cause of it.

Take 2: I practiced as much as possible and I am now ready for tomorrow’s competition. I will perform to the best of my ability, and if I don’t remember all the extra blocks and sound effects I put in this past week, then no big deal. I’ll just perform it like I did in the past, not expecting to place in the top 4. Who needs to go to State?

Take 3: Wait, what competition?
