Macbeth

On Friday we went to see the play Macbeth at IRT in Indianapolis.
I really enjoyed it. They did a really good job producing the play. The actors and actresses put so much emotion into it. The middle-age witch was almost too good, she was pretty creepy sometimes. At times it was hard to understand what was going on because Shakespeare's language is so different from ours, but they did a pretty good job acting everything out so we knew what was going on without them having to outright tell us.

So yah....

Today is a PBA day first of all, woohoo!
That being said, this week is actually going pretty fast. A little crazy and busy, but still good.
Our soccer game got cancelled yesterday, but I think lots of us were relieved because lots of the girls are sick or just tired, and it was nice to have a night at home.
Today we have practice, and then tomorrow the team is going to Mr. Gatti's for dinner, it's going to be really fun :)
We may be starting play practice this week. I'm really excited but a bit nervous. Mr. Hays asked me to be stage manager, which apparently can be really stressful. But it will still be really fun. It's my first time being involved in the fall play so I'm excited.
This weekend is going to be really fun. Friday is senior night at the football game. Then Saturday I am going to Holiday World with Brittney and Fia. I haven't been there for over a year, so I can't wait.
Well I guess that's about it.....until the next blog :) God bless

Camp Carson

So this is a little late, but I decided I would write and tell about our trip to Camp Carson on Monday.
I am in Peer Facilitating, which is a group where we go and work with the sixth graders to help them adjust to middle school. Monday Mrs. Barrett took us to Camp Carson, which included lots of team building activities to helps us learn to work together as a team.
So Monday we all piled on a bus and headed to camp. When we got there first we just talked about different things we can do to help the sixth graders. Then we started some games.
The first thing we did was with a jump rope. We had to run through it, run through and jump over it, and then do it with a partner blindfolded. It got kinda tricky at times, but it was still really fun.
After that we did an activity with a marble and some PVC pipe which I won't really talk about, I'm pretty sure we all prefer to forget it because we hated it, lol. It took FOREVER!
After that we headed outside to The Wall. It was I think about 10 feet or so, and we had to get everybody up and over it. We did it really quickly.
Then we headed to the Alpine Tower, which is a 44 foot tall obstacle course type thing that you climb up. This was my favorite part by far. We had to wear harnesses, and they taught us to belay for each other. So basically we had each other's lives in our hands, which was a bit scary. But we did really good, and nobody got seriously hurt.
Camp Carson was definitely an awesome experience, and I am really glad we got to go. I just wish we could go back again, lol.
