**Short-lived Fame...**

If I could re-live a day, it would be yesterday (Saturday).

Last night's Music Rendezvous II was a success. I hope the String Ensemble got enough money last night to help pay for our trip to Malaysia next semester. We might not go if we don't. Anyways, the trip is not yet confirmed.

So much anticipation and nervousness. But nothing beats the feeling you get when everyone applauds you. Honestly, I enjoyed feeling recognized and appreciated. Like I was a star or something.

The "photoshoot" after the program was great. It was non-stop picture-taking. We stood there with camera flashes going off in our faces. I got tired of smiling so much (I'm sure the rest of the musicians did too). But I have to say that I was blissfully basking in the limelight.

I felt so important. Too bad the night was so short.

TodayI feel like life's gone back to normal (and unfortunately, it has). Mundane. Like I've become a has-been. No one special.

It's depressing. The excitement has resolved too quickly. It feels like falling down from a high place and hitting the ground hard. Face first. What's even sadder is that some of my friends did not attend the concert. I expected them to come.

I'm grateful for the friends that came to support nonetheless.

I guess I'll just have to patiently wait for next year's Music Rendezvous III.
