Darn I'm a day late again but oh well. It's been a week since the ICU festival has ended and I don't really know what to say right now. I am still tired and I am just still swimming in the memories that I made in the past month and a half. What an experience.
For the first time, I got to experience what it was like to be a leader and a follower at the same time. I was one of the people responsible for making a peace for the 17s and I was also responsible for being a dancer for the opening number and the very last peace of the whole show.
I believe this was maybe the hardest part about the past month and a half. I had to deal with certain problems when I was leading the 17s while being an active participant in the other peaces that I was responsible for dancing in. It's difficult trying to keep the motivation level at a constant place when focusing on two completely opposite things. Often times, I found myself unable to concentrate on the peaces that I was a dancer in because I was caught up thinking about the peace I was responsible for making. That would lead to me not being able to commit to the first and last peaces. This just became a cycle that I could not escape.
Now that it is over, I could look back and think to myself, "wow I'm glad I got through that". However, this is certainly not the last time I will go through something like this. I have to learn how to keep my motivation at a constant level over a long period of time in order to be efficient as much as possible.
For those of you that came to watch, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch us perform. I hope we were able to leave something in your minds or heart that day. We will do just the same next year and make it even better:)
