The idea is that we are, in two weeks, starting a theatre company, writing plays, and putting on a 10-minute play festival. We got up here Monday for lunch and have been going pretty non-stop ever since. We have named ourselves Greyfell Theatre Company and have been working on getting ourselves out into the world. Throughout the last couple of days, I have learned quite a few things about myself.
1. I hate the word "thresholds." I have a terrible physical reaction to the word that I can't explain. When I hear it, my stomach starts churning and my whole body starts shaking. I really don't know why this happens. It weirds me out that I can't figure out why this happens. I just know that I need to avoid saying the word, which will be hard because we just named our night of 10-minute plays "Thresholds."
2. I like writing. I have known this for a while, but I have always had problems finishing things because I get nervous about my writing and decide that I can't share it with anyone. I then feel like my ideas are terrible and that other people have WAY better ideas and so I stop writing. I have so many partially written things lying around. And I haven't even really written much in the past couple of years because I am so afraid of failing. But, being here, we were forced to write a 10-minute play and we had less than 24 hours to get a first draft done.

3. I really enjoy doing blogs! We each had to take positions on different marketing teams and I am on the blog and YouTube teams. I know that I haven't written here in a while, but that will be changing. I WILL START TO BLOG HERE MORE! Anyway, for the Greyfell blog, we came up with a blog schedule that involves having different people involved in the program write blogs in the early afternoon and then the blog team (of which I am a part of) will write in the evening, following our last session, about what has happened throughout the day.
Today, I got to do the student perspective and I have done a couple of the other blog group posts. It has been fun to get to tell people what is happening and the nice thing about the blog format is that, while it needs to be somewhat professional, it doesn't need to be completely, 100% professional. It is a fun way to spread information!

Just an example of one of the faces on my Greyfell blog post |
My blog post for Greyfell revolved around my feelings so far with pictures of my face to explain those feelings. Check it out here! It's pretty cool.
Oh man. This post has become way longer than I was expecting. Oops! Anyway, check out Greyfell!
