‘This is it!’ I thought to myself. My music video. ‘This is going to sound the best’. Now that I have half the music done I’ll find some pictures to go with this music video. Come on, how hard can it be? This is hopeless I said sometime later, there are no good pictures and I don’t even know what I’m looking for. Some people listened to my piece again but couldn’t figure out what pictures was needed. Oh no! Something had just pressed the delete button. What if it couldn’t get it back together in time? This meant having to start again. All of a sudden our instructor called out, ‘Come on everyone, your time is running out. You have an hour left’. This was getting frantic. I quickly glanced at the person sitting next to me. Bad idea! They had almost finished. I didn’t even know what music I had before! Now was the time to get help. As fast as a bullet I whipped my hand up into the air waiting for someone to come and help me. Finally the instructor came along and told me how to fix it. It was so simple all I had to do was press undo! So I had my music back but no pictures. The person sitting next to me abruptly told me they had found a picture of a turtle and told me but then they went out of it and couldn’t find it again. I’m never going to get this finished in time I thought miserably to myself. Having half my music and all the wrong pictures wasn’t going to do much. This crisis was getting worse by the minute. Questions started building up in my mind. How many more minutes were there till we finished? Why had so much time been spent trying to find that turtle picture? My mind decided at that very moment that it was just about going to give up. However I decided to look for five more minutes. Just then a miracle happened. There were pictures of the ocean and water in a small folder and they felt calming... They were mine. ‘Ten minutes left everyone’ called the instructor. Maybe this could get finished; A small smile crept onto my face as I realised Lizzie White had almost conquered the Sound House. To make my day the person sitting next to me found the turtle picture. While adding the finishing touches and putting it in the folder, my heart sank back to its normal position. Ha-ha that was a piece of cake. The time came to watch the music videos. My heart started thumping like crazy and my head was dizzy. Mine was going to be the worst. It had been so rushed it was going to be stupid. Everyone was waiting for their name to be called out. The pressure started building up. Every time someone’s name was called out we all thought it would be ourself. Finally my name was called out. I really wanted to curl up in a corner and for people to ignore me. No such luck! My face went red. By the time it had finished I felt like crying. To my amazement everyone clapped like it was anyone else’s. Maybe it wasn’t that bad after all.
