Wow, first night of Spectrum is over…and it was totally awesome. It’s such a different experience, performing in front of so many people…some people do it all the time. But this was totally new for me…and I loved it.

Our small group’s song was the third number, so it was nice to get that done right away…and I think it went pretty well! Steve said he went sharp, but he’s always hard on himself…and my mom(very good singer) didn’t notice, so that was ok. Every other song was awesome – just being there, performing, was incredible. I can’t wait for tomorrow night!! Even though I will be glad, in a way, when it’s over. My family and some friends from church were there…and they loved it. I saw Mrs. Granell afterwards and she said she saw a whole new side of me – she thinks of me as the smart kid, valedictorian…and then she heard tonight.

Amy found out today that she’s getting a national merit scholarship from FSU!! That news(and Spectrum tonight) totally made my day! You rock, Amy!!

Hm, I’m pretty hungry…think I might eat something now, then maybe finish history homework, then off to bed. I am so worn out from the show..
