Poetry Slam

Hey Guys!
So you know how in that last post I said that the last week of my class we were going to have a big competition/performance and I think I forget to mention that it was in front of 100+ people! Ya, I know, stop gasping, its getting annoying. Anyway, there were four teams of us, and I was in a team called "Voices of Unusual Size" it consisted of 5 people, but the 5th guy abandoned us. So anyway, in the poetry slam, there are four rounds, and each of the teams preform in those four rounds, and the guy that left us was supposed to do a duet with another boy, but since he didn't come, I had to take his place and learn his lines and the choreography in 30 minutes! It was crazy. The slam was awesome! It was so cool! All the teams were really good, and in the end, we got second place!!!!!! Whoooooooohooooooo! But what really made my day was the support, some people in the other classes made signs and posters and were cheering our team name, and at the end, a bunch of people came up to me and congratulated my team, and they also gave me some of their posters that they made. It was pretty great. the only downside was that I forgot my backpack. Oh well, I'll just get it tomorrow! (which is the last day) I just wanted to let you guys know that I will always remember this day, when I spread my voice out to the world with my friends.

My Summer So Far

Hey Guys!

Soooooooooo, its summer, and it's been pretty good, I have been reading A LOT, I have met up a couple of times with my friends, I've gone swimming pretty much every week, but I think the most exciting thing is going on right now is that since Monday I have been going to a class called Slam Poetry with a bunch of other people, and Its been really fun! I've been expanding my writing skills, and at the end of next week(which will be the last week) my class is going to have a big competition/performance in front of the whole camp(since its not just Slam Poetry, there are a TON of other writing related classes too) and that should be really fun. So far I've been really enjoying it. My instructors are really cool, there are a lot of really talented people in my class, I've been making some friends, and I have also caught sight of a few people who go to my school amongst the other classes. I hope you all are enjoying your summers as much as I am!
