Today after orientation, we had a tasty lunch in the dining hall. Then we had theatre with Rose Portillo! Theatre is always one of my favorite parts of the day because it’s a time for everyone to just let loose. I can stretch out my body, and I have a chance to shout as loud as I want- not to mention i love playing games. When we finished with theatre we met with our mentor teams to lay down some ground rules, and I’m so, so pleased with my group. My roommate for my dorm hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m excited to meet her! We finished early and went for a swim in the pool. My bad ankle still makes it difficult to participate in specific activities, but healing is a process and it’s going well. Afterwards, we made clapper sticks with Julia Bogany! I loved decorating mine and can’t wait to use it during song later.
