Hey all, I'm just sitting in the library with nothing really to do, so I thought I'd give a quick update. It's been a crazy week - crazy AWESOME, that is. I really feel like I've developed good relationships with my co-counselors - Emma, Natasha, Brandon, and Wes. I find that I hardly spend any time alone any more, so it's been pretty good. Tuesday night we partied it up, with some good ole kings. I'll have you know that I take full responsibility for bringing "The Viking" to the south - and they LOVE it! So yeah, lots of silliness ensued. It was a long week, but lots of fun. Cool master classes, including acrobatics, and such. Saturday night we all drove out to a former camper's house, and had a big bonfire. There was lots of frisbee, guitar sing-a-longs, improv games, etc. Saturday night an old friend of mine came to visit, and we all partied again. Sunday was a much-needed day off. And today, despite my overwhelming exhaustion is really looking up. I just finished my first session of one-on-one text work with a camper and it was awesome. I'd never really done anything like that before; I've only taken direction, not given it. And I have to say, it was so cool to have someone trust in my knowledge enough to put to use the suggestions I made, and hear the text-work improve as a result of it. This really makes me consider doing something on the more teaching end of Shakespeare. The girl I worked with was also SO appreciative, and that made me feel great - like I actually have something to offer as a result of the million Shakespeare classes I have taken over the last 5 years or so. Anyways, that's pretty much it for now, just really psyched about that, so I thought I'd share. Hope you all are well! Much love...
