The Jungle

-
So yesterday, I had imagined and theater.
I found both quite interesting yesterday but what I really want to discuss is The Jungle.
This play was incredible and I will forever recommend I, unfortunately it closes on November 3rd, but I hope it goes on tour. The stage has been deconstructed and proscenium arch is hidden and together there is a sense of being in a tent with a restaurant inside. For more money you can sit in the restaurant but we were up in the dress circle. All of the acting was incredible and I almost lost it when the narrator finally goes. Wait I never explained the plot (sorry). The jungle is a refugee camp in Calais France. In this camp there are refugees from around the world and they tell there stories, struggle to get along and eventually stand united against the French who want to bulldoze the camp. Then to make the point about young children being abandoned they have this little girl, Amal, and she kind of dances around and then bonds with a couple of the British volunteers and won't separate from them (and she wears pink crocs). Overall I agree with the professional reviews this show is 5 stars out of 5 and is the commentary we need right now.

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
