Hey guys, Lady Arsenic here, unfortunately bringing bad news.
I made it to All State, as I've told you before. I gathered my money and stayed up all night waiting for the trip to the beach. Well, about a week ago I developed a really bad allergy attack, and even with medicine I've been so congested and coughing that I was afraid I might not be able to even go. It all cleared up a few days ago, just before I was going to leave for All State.
I was so excited and ready to go to the beach (I had never been there in this area before), and perform with singers with the same abilities as myself, and couldn't wait. Yesterday was the 3-day trip, and everything was beautiful. I had reached my dream to go to All State. I made it in my first and final try (I don't have the opportunity to do it next year). I was going strong through the day with rehearsal after rehearsal, but by the time night rehearsal my voice crashed. I had coughing fits every 10 minutes. Everything I'd worked so hard for to get better slowly crumbled, and left me without mercy. The next morning, I came to morning rehearsal, hoping to make up for what I had done the prior night, and the director called me up to the podium and permanently dismissed me from the choir because of my "health condition."
In a nutshell, folks, I reached my dream as a reward for everything I had worked so hard for to get kicked out of the choir and go back home. I learned the music, I studied hard, and then when the time came to reap what I sewed, I got sent home empty-handed.
Anyway, I'm not complaining, but only informing all of you that for the remainder of the day and possibly a little while afterwards I am going to be bitter as hell and in a terrible mood.
Thank you all for listening.
