Today was the summer camp expo, and I'm officially exhausted from playing tour-guide-Barbie. It was a good day...long but good. And yes, my face is sore from smiling. Everytime there was a question, it was shot over to me. It still hasn't sunk in that I'm directing a camp this summer...aka making ginormous decisions left and right...many of them on the spot. This whole adulthood thing, yeah, it's sort of frightening.
I saw Take the Lead tonight with Charity and Rochelle, and I really, really liked it. Yes, it's a story we've all heard before. Yes, they fully exploit the cheese-it-up moments. Does that mean I liked it any less? Not at all. It was a reminder of why I love working with kids so much. I want to make a difference...especially when no one else is willing to step up to the plate. I once more had that guilty knot in the pit of my stomach. Am I making the right choice not teaching and doing grad school instead? Somehow I'm convinced that I can make more of a difference outside of a traditional classroom than inside teaching Shakespeare. Let's hope that's a Holy Spirit prompt and not just a gut feeling.
The electrical lines in the city are crackling tonight...and I mean that quite literally. What a place I live in...what a place.
