# data[].attributes.body
In this session, I will be rehearsing with Rae. As we have finished writing all three songs, we will spend this session going through each song in the order we will be performing them. The opening song is 'Wish That I Could Be Myself', the next song is 'I'm Trying' and the closing song is 'Crazy'. The reason for this ordering is because it starts with the most 'chilled' song and end with the most 'aggressive', so it builds up to a bigger ending. We will spend two and a half hours on this today.

I am happy with the outcome of this session.
