Life in the elementary school has been treating me rather well over the last week. I've been using drama in the classroom almost every day. The kids are just amazing and I'm so thankful that this placement is going so well.
In other news, I saw Macbeth with Patrick Stewart and I have to say that he was incredible. I love going to BAM to see plays because I know it's always going to be something exciting. This particular production of the Scottish play was the best I've ever seen, but I was a little spooked by the witches. It's not that they were scary - actually they WERE - but also the double-double song was RAPPED instead of sung. I kind of liked it but I also thought it was a bit cheezy. Other than that, I loved the show.
This semester is chugging along at a steady pace. Soon it will be time to look for jobs. Today I got a letter in the mail making sure NYU was spelling my name right on my diploma. It was kind of freaky to see something so definite. It's true that in three months I'll have a Master's degree - actually the first female in my family to earn one. And my father was the first male to go to college. So we're breaking records together. :)
Tomorrow night I'm going to go see Ed. Theatre's production of Kindertransport. Thinking back on their last production, I'm sure this one is going to be great as well. I had the opportunity to meet the playwright last summer in London, and I was part of a group that used the script to teach young people. It was a memorable experience and the script itself is really good, so I can't wait to see it.
Have a great weekend!
