Performance

As part of my music school's efforts to bring us to a higher level without internal examinations, my teacher has arranged for us (students) to perform at this cafe next week. I'm having the jitters as I feel ill-prepared. Moreover I'm really afraid that I'll fall sick; a few kids in my class are sick and it doesn't help that I'm not getting sufficient rest. I really do not want to fall sick in the next two weeks and the last thing I would want is to lose my voice.

My boss was actually kind enough to ask me if I had wanted to take a day's leave in preparation for the performance. I'm still undecided about it. She even asked if I will like the support of her and other fellow colleagues. How nice of her. I told her I appreciate her kindness but the performance is held on a weekday evening, far from the west. Thus I doubt most colleagues could make it for the event. On top of that, it's my very first performance and I'm afraid I'll screw it up right in front of so many people. I'm really feeling nervous about it, so nervous I didn't invite anybody.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will turn out fine.

Anyone keen to watch the performance?
