A Day at Youth Theatre School

That my friend is a Christopher Turk burn delivered with grace and fierceness.

This is the reason I've been having to cancel plans with a lot of you guys this month. I've fondly been calling it "school" because it's too hard to explain in a quick text. I know, I know, who wants more school?

 

Let me be clear though, the only school worth going to in the summer is theatre school!

Wham! Bam! Slam... Poetry

Warning: major fangirling ahead. Reader discretion is advised.

I can't even count how
 many times I've watched that movie anymore.

I really love poetry. I mean I have an entire board dedicated to it on Pinterest, it's maybe a third of what I post on Tumblr, and practically everything that fills all my journals. You think I'm kidding, but I have at least eight journals that I can just pick up and start writing things in for any situation.

If you're wondering, yes that is a cowgirl riding a pony on the American flag.
My childhood was memorable. Not to mention I can't even unlock that journal.

 

Now if I'm going to be all informational and maybe a bit educational I have to throw in a definition here and there because you all probably know that...

 

po·et·ry

ˈpōətrē,ˈpōitrē :" literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature."

 

 

Because who doesn't know the sophisticated and wordy definitions like Google off the top of a hat! How many of you know what slam poetry is though? You may have heard of it here and there, seen a few videos like the ones below, but what is it really?

The Many Summertime Struggles

I realized that my summer has already hit it's Midsummer Night minus the whole dream thing. It's the middle of summer, and I'm in a little bit of a crisis. Oh yeah, did I mention that it's July and that high school resumes it's session in August?


Just breathe, just breathe!

I'm not freaking out. I promise. Maybe that's a lie, but hey with my schedule I have a little bit to be worried about. Let's just say the word "honors" pops up by most of my classes, along with the word AP for a few. So I'd like my days to remain class free for as long as possible. Whether that be a month and some leftovers.

Oh barnacles...

So I thought, what else should I write about than the good, the bad, and the oh so interesting summer I've had so far? Recap time!!!

Grace's Guilty Pleasure: Gossip Girl

Okay. I lied, this post isn't going to be about school things related to my 10th Grade Honors English Assignment for the summer. It's going to be something that's a bit more... prevalent in my everyday life...
