Letters to Electra ~ Pretentious

21/11/15

Dear Electra,

Hell Week finished a week ago, but somehow I didn't find enough time to write you a letter. I guess I was experiencing post-exam stress as I was desperate to find my results. Have you ever gotten that feeling, Electra? The feeling that you still need to study even though Hell Week was over? I can't stop allowing that trauma to take over me. All I'm glad about now is that Hell Week has perished for 2015. Thank goodness.

Of course, you know I'm not fully satisfied with the peacefulness of the post-exam period. Earlier this week my English teacher asked if anyone would like to participate in a speech competition. The acceptance was optional, but yet I chose to take the risk of revealing my hidden voice to a large audience. My decision frightens half of me, but the independent woman in me wants to expose what's been on my mind since... forever. Most of the participants have done/are completing training in speech and drama and/or have an astounding amount of confidence compared to my silent nature. I can't tell you what my topic will be, but I know it would be enough to astonish at least one person in the room (I've actually told my English teacher and she seemed pretty fascinated).

Wish me good fortune, Electra; I need all of it.

Stay powerful and beautiful as usual,
- M
