fihdfsgfsdiogaisdfo i have a dance final tomorrow and i have to make up a dance and i have ideas but i can't make up a two-fucking-minute dance on my own help

SO REMEMBER THIS FROM LAST NIGHT?

well I started last night and finished it this morning and felt a ton better

and THEN I GOT UP THERE

AND I BLANKED HALFWAY THROUGH

but you know, I figured "eh I'll keep going till I find my place" and eventually I did

and so the song ends, I feel terrible because I'd gotten so much more comfortable and my teacher runs up and gives me a hug, and i figured she just noticed I was nervous

and she's so excited about it and I'm like "oh. wasn't expecting that" and she's talking about how it was so inspirational and I was kinda confused

so the next girl goes and my teacher gives her her reaction to the dance and as the next performers are getting ready she goes "oh Rachel I just loved how-" i don't even remember what she said but it kinda made me think "oh okay Tara I guess you really liked it"

so we get out of class and my classmates are all going on about how good I was and even some of the dance majors who watched were raving and gave me hugs so I had to accept that hey, that wasn't as bad as I thought

WELL THAT WAS APPARENTLY AN UNDERSTATEMENT

so about an hour later I have to go up to the theater for a majors meeting and a couple of my classmates are all "Rachel you were adorable and fantastic" and one of my friends who isn't in the class and didn't observe was like "yeah I heard it was really great" and I was confused and she said "I know cause I'm in Tara's tap class"

so I assumed that Tara'd been talking about the finals in her dance class and it was pretty exciting that she'd brought up mine.

so a couple hours later I'm talking to another girl in the tap class and I mentioned that I had my dance final today and she just goes "OH YOU'RE THE RACHEL TARA WAS TALKING ABOUT!" and it turns out she was raving about my dance because I apparently moved her to tears

which, you know. holy shit how did I manage that and I've been super excited since then.

tl;dr I FUCKED UP ON MY DANCE FINAL AND SOMEHOW MY TEACHER WAS REALLY MOVED BY IT AND RANTED TO HER NEXT CLASS ABOUT IT AND WOW I'M SO HAPPY
 
That's great!:D

It's the best feeling in the world, isn't it? First you're choking up and stressing out, and then you completely grab the task right by the horns and leave a winner.
 
I'm not really sure if I've ever had that kind of amazing luck, but kudos to you for pulling it off! :D
 
aaah thank you everyone! even yesterday i kept hearing about it from people who had heard about it and it was really lovely
