She can't wait to be on her festival feet.

She woke up feeling anxious. She dreamt of Urbanscapes again. In approximately 61 days, she'll be in Malaysia, spending her weekend singing her lungs out and dancing her legs off at the music festival. She already booked her flight and bought festival passes a week ago. Now, the excitement just builds up. She started shuffling through her "urbanscapes playlist" to somehow calm herself down. It didn't work, of course. It just added up to the anxiety or excitement. Or whatever that feeling she's having.

She started working. She needs to work extra to earn extra. Traveling overseas to watch a music festival isn't cheap. Two essays and she had to stop. For some reasons, she started looking for cheap flight tickets to Singapore. Laneway on 2014, she thought. These music festivals really got into her.

And a cheap flight, there is.

She texted her friend in Singapore about the flight. Her friend is her music festival guardian angel; she was the one who booked the Urbanscapes passes; they're going together. And now, she's offering to book the Laneway's. She started panicking. Should she go? This is another opportunity. She can afford it, so why let it go? Yes, Laneway it is, she thought. She and her friend decided; they are going. She pays for her ticket tomorrow; her friend books the passes as soon as they go on sale. She started feeling queasy inside. She let out a quick scream, more of a shriek actually. This is it. 2 music festivals to go to.

She let the thought linger for a while. She just closed her eyes. Took a few deep breaths. And she's okay. No panicking, just pure excitement. She started working again. She's focused and motivated this time. Finally, she has something to work for. Something to write about. Something to look forward to. She's getting too emotional because of the music festivals. Well, it has been a while since she liked something this much she's getting back on track. This is good, she thought. This is better.

And now she's counting down the days. She can't wait to see her friend. She can't wait to see the bands. She can't wait to be on her festival feet. She can't wait, and it feels good.
