I Have My Moments

The past three weeks have been really fun. As well as exhausting.
Assignments have been coming from left and right! Yikes!
Nevertheless, I have forged my way through them and the really hard ones are over. Finished. Done. Now I only have three exams and two written assignments to hand in. Which when I get down to them they can get done pretty quickly, so I will type them up pretty quickly. Then bam! Time to party. All that will be left are class parties, free time and preparation for Formal. I now only have three weeks left of High School, ever.

Mentally exhausting stuff aside, I had a ton of fun singing with my school's Glee Choir. At USQ's 'To Glee Or Not To Glee?' song night we sung Fix You by Cold Play, immediately followed by our choreographed version of Marry You by Bruno Mars. It was fantastic and by far our best performance. I loved the vibe. Our group won an award titled 'best proposal' because the boys in the group slid onto their knees and sung "Oh! C'mo~on girl!" I wrote it like that because they were very dramatic. It made everyone cheer. We then sat back -picnic style - and watched the other groups perform. The rest of the night was filled with wonderful singing, that made everyone happy, cheer and sometimes laugh. The group from the Oakey School made an awesome performance featuring David Guetta and Sia's Titanium as well as Radioactive by Imagine Dragons (A/N I just watch the video clip, freaky stuff). Oakey's group were dressed as Zombies! I loved it.

Our Glee club later performed again at our school's Supper Club. the boys also sung Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars, they sound fantastic together. After that we all sung Somebody To Love by Freddie Mercury; Our teacher loves Freddie. Our latest and last performance of the year (very last for us seniors) was at the School Awards Ceremony. We were the very opening act. Woot! Pressure! But we pulled it off. The rest of the night was long, except for the other performances like the school concert and string bands as well as the senior dance mash-up.

But by far, the best moment of the night was when the year 12's got up on stage and sung the school song. I was up the front, the very front and centre of the stage. Singing my little heart out. I sung out loud and proud "And the magic name Toowoomba HIGH!!!" I was caught up in the song and didn't notice that everyone else had begun throwing their streamers that they had been given until they were flying over my head. I was about to release mine when I realised that the end had stuck back onto its self. It wouldn't stream out like that! I pulled at it but it wouldn't unravel. So I just flung it out and hoped for the best. It went far. As a stilled rolled up ball. I watched as it soared, seemingly in slow motion, out into the hands of a laughing and very surprised lady in the audience. In the crowd I distinctly heard by older brother, Shea and Mum yell out above the cheering audience, "Frankie!!! WOOHOO!" My face was priceless. I realised all of what had just happen and thought 'Aw well, heck, I'm still cool.' So I lifted my arms straight in the air and gave the crowd my best 'yeah-that-was-me' grin as I delivered a proud two handed Rock-on Salute.

I felt so much like my brother at that moment. I am fairly certain that I remember him doing that hand sign at some point when he graduated too. Or it is something he would do. He actually stuck his graduation certificate into the back of his pants and purposely made an effort to turn around for some reason or other when he was on stage. Also at the front. Being loud.

About a week ago I also helped my friend film her Media Assignment. She was making a News story. I am not completely sure of the entire assignment. But to say the least, it will be very funny. I will not reveal too much. You will have to wait until I get a copy of m own when she is finished. I can tell you however that I acted as a girl who is so obsessed with Taylor Swift that she truly believed she was Taylor Swift. It was extremely funny because of numerous reasons that will be easy to identify. Most of all is that despite my being in the Glee Choir. on my own,  I am actually very tone-deaf. I need to be able to hear someone close to me singing on key so I can concentrate on the notes. You wont hear my singing as Talitha, thankfully, muted it out in order to dub over us. My timing is pretty...non-existent too. Hopefully with the editing you wont see just how bad it truly is. In fact my Glee Teacher, when putting together the routine for our songs, exclaimed "How can a music student not know how to count?!" Or something like that. Yeah, It's a talent. I can sing. Just multitasking comes harder when I am singing.

When she has finished I will get my copy and do my best to post a successful version of it.
Keep an eye out for it.

In the mean time I will continue to be a very Curious Chesha. (Heh, I'm not so sure about signing off with my name every time, I am running out of wit when it comes time to sign off).
