Believe

Well, I have 10 minutes to spare! I woke up early to make sure I had time to cook and eat a big breakfast, which I have done. I also wanted to try on my dress for this afternoon, which I did. (Ballet has done strange and wonderful things to my body so clothes fit differently.) I have packed everything else I need and I guess I am ready. Last night I rehearsed my songs and monologues with Jon and Tim for nearly two hours. I know the notes and the words, I know my characters for each number and I should be ready. The only thing I don’t know is if this is really what I am supposed to be doing and if I really have the talent to pull this off. If I believed in my self half as much as Jon and Tim do then I would be good to go! I need to listen to them, they hear me and gave me great feedback on how to make things better. Mostly I need to relax and believe.

I have a bracelet I got right before I started school that looks like an ID bracelet and reads “Believe in Yourself”. I wear it everyday that I drive to Montevallo. This morning it is missing. It either means to quit believing or that I can do this without a silly bracelet to remind me. I should be able to make it on my own now. We shall see!
