2 weeks 2 long

It's been a crazy, crazy, 2 weeks.

I don't even know where to begin. Let me think. My job is cool. No kids until Monday but for those of you who know what's up I will be doing a modified version of Company with the little ones. 12 - 13 year olds. We'll play together for a couple weeks. Find an issue that interests them. Do community service in the vein of that issue. Write, direct, produce, and execute a fabulous show at the end of the year. And we might even get to go on tour to other schools and communities in NYC. Sounds exciting no? I'm excited. My supervisor responded well to my idea. My staff seems to like me as well. They're crazy. But hey it's cool to be around crazy people sometimes. Marcello the dance specialist told me that he was planning on being mean to the new volunteer but because I'm so nice he couldn't be mean. SCORE!

Living in community has its challenges of course. One of the worst is grocery shopping. Never do that with 4 other people with four radically different opinions of what we should eat for the next 2 weeks. I love coming home and knowing that there are people happy to see me. I love just sitting and talking and being without an operating television. And not having internet on a regular basis isn't so bad. I do other things now besides myspace. Like getting my apartment fumigated for bed bugs. Jealous?
