Songs to Remember: Overcome - Nu'est

        Wake up at 8:30 AM to practice KDT dances, meet up with Ad again, practice some more 'till 12:00 PM, get home, my buddy Et comes over at like 4:30 PM, we get to the sushi place at 6:00 PM, meet up with Ec, Jp, and his friends, eat 'till 8:30 PM, head on home to find something I think everyone needs.

        Overall, practice wasn't that great as I would've liked it to be. We went over
Hồ Ngọc Hà's "My Baby" dance again, which I did participate in for fun, but I'm not actually signed up for it. It went alright, a bit shaky on some parts, and to be honest, I didn't practice it at home, 'cause I'm just doing it for fun. The next dance was MIN's "Get Out," which was a new dance that we just learned today.

        I think it would've went better had we not have like an audition rehearsal (record, audition rehearsal). Because, I was trying to umm, focus on the moves for SUBOI's "Tro Choi," for which I signed up for, and, trying to remember the moves I just learned from today, a one hour practice. Trying to remember a old dance (not exactly old, but you get what I mean) and trying to remember a new dance that I just learned an hour ago kinda fucked with my head, and so, I nailed the SUBOI dance by a mile, but kinda flopped on the My Baby one.

        And it does show in the recording, which the KDT president will use to decide to cut people from doing which auditions. Now I think, I'm not exactly sure, but I think if you get cut from doing the dance, it's only for the audition, as in, we're going to have to shoot an audition tape and send it to the club/ organization to see if they will accept us into their show. Even though it's just for that, it still is pretty major to me. So what I'm trying to say is that I'm probably going to get cut for MIN's "Get Out," but on the bright side I'm probably gonna stay in SUBOI's "Tro Choi," but the reason why comes later.

        So, after practice, I get home, get some free time for a few hours, my buddy Et gets over to my house at 4:30 PM, earlier than the 5:00 PM time, we play the Hitman beta and like, he goes on the OSU subreddit, up until 5:30 PM when we leave. With the traffic, took us 40 minutes, Mc and Jl (Mc's friend whom we've met through him) were already there. Ec, Jp, and his friends were still getting over here. Apparently Jp was the one driving all of 'em, his phone directions weren't working that well, and uh, he was vaping too. A big formula for disaster technically, but luckily it wasn't, heh.

        They finally arrived at around 6:40 PM, we chill outside (literally, it was pretty cold, heh) 'till we got a table for the 8 of us. We ordered 3 rounds of sushi, spent $30 each, spent about an hour inside, and of course took Snapchats of just about everything. Waited outside after we were done, each getting picked up one by one. It was nice, refreshing actually. It's like "Ay dude, haven't seen you in months, even though we talk on the Discord chat like everyday. heh."

        After my dad finally arrived, Et and I left, said our farewells, and uh, went home. We dropped Et off at his house this time of course, last time we dropped him off "near" his house, but apparently he had to walk like, 3/4 of a mile, heh. This time he made sure we were "near" his house. On the car ride home however, somebody messaged the KDT group chat. It was this one dude, the guy who was moved by his last Lunar Show performance, who asked:

"omg, who is the new guy member, he is gud"

"which one??" "Who what" "the one in suboi"

"The one in the front?"

"yeah"

"Thats andreww"

"LOL"

"Who"

"awwww, he got better"

"Good job Andrew!!"

"Hard work paid off"

"See i told youll make it through andrewwww"

"YAAYYY"

"YASSSS ANDREW"

        There were more uh, party horn emoji thingies and I did reply, but uh, I don't think it was all necessary to include here, heh. But yeah, that initial "who is the new guy member" part, I was like "There aren't many guys in KDT, I'm thinking he's talking about me." And whadya know, I get a compliment from not just, in my opinion, the top dancer in KDT currently, but compliments from others as well, of which I will hold dearly for a long time.

        When we were shooting the SUBOI dance practice, most people didn't really want to be in the front, from what I saw, I did it because I really was confident, 'cause I did practice and analyze it at home. Thinking about the practice I did for this dance compared to others, it was alot, I paused and replayed the choreography video multiple times to review, heh. I guess that hard work really did py off, because I got noticed by the top KDT member and with his comment about me, sprang the rest of this morale boost that I did not expect.

        And I'm really thankful for that. I really needed it, heh. And after just experiencing this, just one time, made me feel like 50 pounds lighter. I feel that everyone should be able to experience this feeling more often because it's like, so sincere and rare, it definitely made my day, for sure. Just something small like that can really change a person's mood.

        So, that was all there was today. I did play some more League with my buddies when I got home, I also found out that the cast had a game night tonight. Didn't bother me much because of the support I got from KDT, and because I muted the cast group chat so I didn't really get a notice about the game night plan. Also I had planned to go to eat sushi with my buddies anyways, so, heh.

        All is good right now, except for the fact that I gotta start on that Psychology report tomorrow, and that break's ending in 2 days. Not ready to go back to my regular schedule, especially after all this. Anyways, see ya.
