I didn't get nearly as much time to write today that I wanted to, but I got some words out.

Snippet of the day: Jack's eyebrows drew together in concern.  Mac hated that look, and he especially hated being the cause of it.  "We're getting checked out in Phoenix Med, remember?"

 Emotions I’ve Been Feeling Lately

This week was kind of rough. Nothing bad happened, but I have been under a lot of pressure to do my best and I’m worried that I haven’t been doing enough. On the first day of school, I had two auditions first thing in the morning and then a performance in the afternoon. So many opportunities have been given to me to perform, but that means I have a lot of music to prepare in a very short amount of time. I ended up getting sick this weekend, which stressed me out even more because I wasn’t able to work as hard as I wanted to. This week had a lot of ups and downs. I was thrilled when all of my performances went well, and my teacher told me about the concerts and masterclasses I was selected to perform in, but it also meant I have a lot to prepare and a lot to prove. This freaked me out, so when I wasn’t able to practice as much as I wanted this weekend, I freaked out even more. I think what I felt was disappointment, but also anxiety from all of the deadlines that are coming way too soon.

The picture that I chose for my post is one that I took Monday night. After stressing out all weekend, baking with my friends brought me so much joy. We joked around all evening and the mood we created made me forget about everything I was worrying about. It makes me realize that some of the things I let bother me weren’t such a big deal. They comforted me after a stressful week, and that definitely made the good parts of my week outweigh the bad.
