Story|Procrastination

A few days ago, my cousin told me on WeChat that there was a wedding ceremony in three days, and the couple getting married was a distant relative of our family, so I could prepare a few songs to sing at the wedding ceremony to work on my guts and gain some experience in singing. On the day of the wedding, I messed up.

My cousin is the daughter of my second father, my father's brother. They opened a wedding company in the countryside, our hometown wedding not only need to set up the venue, but also need to arrange singing, dancing, magic show or skits, etc. Singing is a necessary program for every wedding, if the budget is high, the wedding company will add a few other performances of the program.

I've loved singing since I was a kid, I was in the school choir for two years in junior high school, I love music, and I was a resident KTV guest in college.

My parents have always known that I like to sing, and they think I sing pretty well, and it just so happens that I will stay in my hometown for a long time in order to bring up the baby, so they suggested that I go to my second father's wedding venue to sing.

Before today I sang once in the second father's wedding scene, that time in order to insure that I was afraid of nervousness on the stage, so it is arranged for me to sing a song.

The good thing is that I am more familiar with that song, but also more experience in dancing in front of people, that performance was quite successful, so this time my cousin let me prepare three songs.

The wedding in the countryside and the city is not the same, the city's wedding is held in the hotel, we love to listen to some modern pop music, petty mood, but the countryside wedding is to do dam feast, outdoor, and many guests are elderly, you sing pop music they can not appreciate, so you have to prepare some of the square dance music, such as above the moon, the red Sazhiran and so on.

This kind of song I usually almost do not sing, can only learn now. But I have a particularly serious problem, procrastination, never prepare until the last minute.

I think it is not still three days, it is also not seize the time to learn, daily or daytime work, dancing at night, to the day before the approaching, began to learn the song in a hurry.

Fortunately, there were no guests in the store that day, and I had a whole day to learn, from day to night, and I was able to turn on the accompaniment and sing the song in its entirety.

On the second day, today, I followed the car to the wedding site early in the morning. Everyone is preparing for the wedding preparations, set up the stage, with the new couple to walk the wedding process, the arrangement of the wedding may appear in the link, in the meantime, I have been wearing headphones to practice the song, after a night's sleep, this morning I found that I actually a little forget the words, with the time approaching I am more and more nervous.

The wedding is about to start when I put the accompaniment to the DJ, they said I arranged in the middle of the professional singers invited, first a singer to sing, he sang after I sang, and then there is a singer to close the show.

In the end, the expected thing happened, I really screwed up, halfway through the song even forgot the words, I stood on the stage nervous to no longer be able to add to the stumbling song finished, gray and chirpy off the stage.

After stepping down, the professional singer said to my second father, "This little girl has a good voice, but she has practiced too little." I hung my head for fear that my second father said I, but he did not, and also gave me the cost of singing, but I was speechless.

Procrastination is really harmful, has anyone ever screwed things up because of procrastination?
