Graduation Event

  School is finally coming to an end. Next week is not only finals week, but it's the last week of the semester! It's going to be great to at last be able to experience summer vacation here in Taiwan! This past weekend we had a graduation event for the seniors that was held at the Cartlon Hotel. The dining area was grand, and the event was spectacular! For entertainment we actually had our own people become the entertainers! There were dancers, singers, a violinist, and much more. Truth be told. I had also performed as well. It was like a singing comedy thing. Last time I sang in front of an audience, I was singing and dancing with a guy friend of mine at a talent show back at Texas A&M.  He was an expert in dancing, and said he would join me in my performance since I lack courage when it comes to getting in front of an audience. Our song was Love Story by Taylor Swift, and since I couldn't dance like him, he took the lead and I just followed in his steps. (By the way, we were also the opening act so it made me more terrified) Well, what happened in this performance was that in the middle of the performance in the midst of our dancing, we two have completely forgotten the words. Ha, it was hilarious, and the audience that it was cute! All of my friends just basically said we were amazing and cute together. I couldn't have had a better dancing partner than him.

 Well that was then, and this time when I had to sing I didn't have anyone with me. Of course I was scared right to my bones. The song I had to do was the Cups song (When I'm Gone), which I thought was pretty appropriate since the seniors would be leaving. Well, the Cups song not only required me to sing but to play the cups at the same time. Multitasking.... not something I can easily do, and right before the performance, I was able to play the cups and sing, but I could not for the love of my life do it together. So, it was actually pretty interesting. I decided to just play them separately, but so it wouldn't be boring I tried making jokes at the beginning of the performance to calm my nerves and to entertain the audience which worked out pretty smoothly my friend said and if I do say so myself as well. 
  Before I had started singing, I had told everyone to go on ahead and sing with me if they knew the words as well to make it more fun!

My friend Maria who sang and played
the guitar! She was amazingly great!

 Once I had started singing it was great since one of my friends holding the microphone had started singing with me. All was well until I had hit the second verse that is. I had actually ended up forgetting the lines when I heard something in the background. Everyone seemed amused though and had started singing with me again so it was actually pretty fun! It was like a singing comedy.

   Until next time! Take care!
