wave as the bus pulls away

well, camp is over.  i officially made it.  it has left me with some paychecks (great!), lessons learned, and vicious tan lines.  i have learned that i really enjoy teaching kids drama and would like to do it on a more indepth level.  

however, i have also learned that drama at summer camp is for fun.  not for the making of thespians.  sure, a few kids may have gotten a taste for theater, but most of them just left thinking "hey, drama games are fun.  i can pretend to be a monkey better than anyone i know."

and that is ok.  if that is all they took, that is ok.

oh, and i also learned that no matter how old you are, summer camp is filled with innuendo and cliques.  i suppose it just goes hand in hand with the peanut butter sandwiches and free swim.
