Rock Camp DAY 1
Today, I:
-- Overslept, and woke up at 10 minutes before what I thought was the latest train I could afford to take, and then got ready in twenty minutes (which is a record for me) and made the train after that at 11:17
-- Arrived at camp 10 minutes before instrument lessons were supposed to start, just enough time to grab my guitar and a bottle of water
-- Paired up with a new volunteer named Rebecca and took the advanced guitar class
-- Watched in awe and wonder as our girls learned pentatonic scales in half and hour, and finished the class by pairing up and all soloing for each other
-- Tried to roadie, and then almost collapsed because I hadn't eaten at all
-- Went to the kitchen, hung out with Alison, and got the last veggie burrito
-- Got assigned to go back to Manhattan and pick up some art supplies
-- Went back to camp for the volunteer meeting, which ran way too long
-- dragged my tired ass home, and almost wept at a few points because I was so exhausted
And yet....I am in the greatest mood, and it all feels like it was totally wooooorth it....
I can't wait for tomorrow.
