Week Three

So we're rollin' into week three pretty quickly- It's kind of blowing my mind how we feel like we've been here for months in such a short time, yet it still keeps going by so fast. I love it so much and wish that Governor's School was "real life"... or at least college.

Recently, we started some new plays and I was in "Mountain Language"- it's about war, suppression, fear, and manipulation. My character was a wife who was waiting to see her husband who was something like a POW. It's very intense and good. There were three other plays done by the other 3/4 of the class (or so) and yesterday we had our dress rehearsal. It was open, so there was a big audience. It went so great! Swimmingly, amazingly, considering we'd only had a week to put everything together.

We've also been able to watch an orchestra and chorale concert, and those were pretty good. This past Saturday night was the 80s dance, so I dressed up... but only went for like 20 minutes. I can't stand 80s music for some reason (sorry...). AAAAAnd yesterday after my dress rehearsal I watched Part II of "The Seven Samurai" and that was pretty awesome. Let's see... And today the drama kids got to sit in for the Dance group's dress rehearsal with a theme of "Disruption". VERY interesting and strange. Personal and invading, among other things.

Well, I come home Thursday this week for my 4th of July break. I really miss Greta, which is strange...haha... not too strange. I don't feel really "homesick", but i do miss my air conditioned room, having a car, and hugging my little sister (not to mention other family and friends of course.)

Well, it's time for dinner. The food hasn't been too bad... Sometimes there is bacon in the morning and that is really good!

Hope everyone is doing well.
Much love, ~Britt~
