Last Year vs. This Year

Although for most people, their main competition at summit is either quiz or games, while I like quiz, God has gifted me in music and the Fine Arts competition is what I spend the most time preparing for. Last year, I barely studdied at all for quiz and while I knew I needed to study regularly, I didn't. (Sorry guys.) Compared to last year, I'm preparing for Summit much earlier. I've already memorized most of the verses for this year, word perfect and have them down, as far as fine arts, last year I learned both of my fine arts pieces in about a month and a half, not to mention I barely picked them out in time and hadn't finished memorizing/learning them until the week prior to summit. This year, I've already started looking at pieces. (I think I might know which dance piece I'm going to do! and I've started looking at options for flute) I think that last year was a good experience for me in that, while I didn't do as good as I hoped to do, I learned a lot and know better what to do this year. I know not to procrastinate and to prepare myself a lot more. Last year I had a bad case of nerves during my solo (I think due to not preparing enough) and I want to avoid that this year.
