Shakespeare Play of Julius Cesar

Hey world!

On Friday night, I saw Shakespeare's Julius Cesar with the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company (CSC). I saw it with some of the borders that also live on campus. The director of drama in the upper school was in the play and he was amazing!!! It was in these cool ruins and you moved around with the play. You may think it's geeky, nerdy, or whatever term you use that I see Shakespeare plays, but I really enjoy them! Sure, sometimes there hard to understand but the thing about Shakespeare plays is when the play first starts, it's hard to understand, but within a few minutes, you know what's going on.
The Shakespeare plays I've seen are Julius Cesar (duh), Romeo and Juliet, Henry the V, and Macbeth.My fave was probably Romeo and Juliet b/c it was in a round.

Anyway, that's all 4 2day!

"The Land of Counterpane"

When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.

I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.

- R.L. Stevenson

I'm sorry I haven't written in 10 days, my life has been a little hectic....
Anyway, you know that math test I talked about in my last post? well, i got a 84 on it which is ok... most peeps in my class got below a C, so I guess i did good compared 2 them..
My second dance class was fab (as usual) and my teacher (ms. aleta) has 3 children (6, 2, and 1 mnth) and can still do splits and the usual... what a role model!
School 2day was ok, but i am soooooooooooooooooo tired! (yes, i'm that tired that I need 17 zeros...
anyway... i'm getting tired so goodbye!!!

FRIDAY!

Today was Friday, as you all know, and my day was ok.
In math, I felt like I failed the test because of this one question! So that wasn't so great....
In the Founder's Day assembly, some people felt lightheaded and one guy actually tried to faint and succeeded... mature, right?
When I got home, I went over my next door neighbor's house and they have one 4 yr old and a two 2 yr old twins! I played w/ them for about an hr.
just now, i watched this week's Glee episode on fox.com, it was pretty good...
my main reason for watching that show is because of the singing...
Anyway, good night to everyone and have a good weekend!

Emmanuel Yeboah

I don't know if you've heard of him, but today, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah came to our school to talk to us. He his an amazing man from Ghana who was born without a leg.
Here's a wikipedia article about him:
Yeboah was born without a tibia in his right leg. He struggled to overcome the belief in Ghana that a physically disabled had been cursed by a deity. His father deserted his family upon learning of Emmanuel's disability, leaving Emmanuel and his family without a source of income. He refused to beg for money, but instead went to the capitial, Accra, to take a job shining shoes. He applied for a grant in order to get a bicycle, and proceeded to bike across Ghana with one leg. He then went on to changing perceptions about disabled people in Ghana.

How awesome is this guy!!!!!
that's all for today!
see ya!
