Things likely to be heard after camp:
Douchebaggery is an unforgivable sin.
I need to go grocery shopping.
Why is everything I own covered in cat hair?
Do I have to pick these people up from the airport? I no longer care if they walk.
Internalize that!
Got to get that POI done.
And you will faintly hear the scratching of letter writing.
And the winner for most random and unplanned nonsensical post goes to.....
Yeah, I'll just take my award and leave through the back door.

You've Got Mail: The RomCom Minus the "Rom"
This shall be a blog post entirely dedicated to letter leader board updates! Are you ready?
Inbox this week:
Michelle (I know, seems like I'm always talking to her in some capacity. We Hufflepuffs do that)
Spaulding (2 in a week? Impressive)
Laura
Joe
Hannah
Kate Meade
Needless to say I need to get to writing!
So in total, that leaves:
Spaulding: 3
Michelle: 2
Hannah: 2
Joe: 2
Laura: 1
Ben: 1
Kate: 1
Special shout out to Kate Meade, she has kindly sent me an autographed copy of her book, and I'm stoked to read it. So, weekend task? I think so. I might have to finish my other book first, but I don't think she'll mind too much.
And over all, I feel like I've done pretty well in sending and receiving letters. Out of the 10 people I've sent letters to, I've received letters from 7 (granted, Kate sent the first letter so she was only counted in the received pile).
In addition to all of those things, I should mention that both my mother and my grandmother are good penpals. Grandma has been sending me all kinds of recipes that I have been trying and then posting suitably mouth watering pictures here-blame her not me.
So here's to using up all of my stationary so that I have to buy "interesting" ones from various St. Peter stores. Gonna have to work for it, I've got a lot of it here.

Real Words Don't Have the Proper Emphasis: WHWPOWEIHLKJFHD!!
This is going to be a post about how obsessed I am with Mad Men (Mariecus can attest to this-I've watched 9 episodes in 2 days), and HOW INCREDIBLY PUMPED I AM ABOUT VISITING MICHELLE TOMORROW.
Letter leader board update:
Michelle zooms a head with her second letter. That leaves the following:
Michelle: 2
Joe: 1
Ben: 1
Spaulding: 1
Hannah: 1
But this is anyone's game folks. So get to it! If I'm feeling nice, I'll write the freshman one later this week.
But more importantly: TOMORROW WHEN I GET TO SEE MICHELLE! I need to pack before then, I did laundry for this occasion... That's a real friendship right there. Michelle informed me that even despite the floodings, Duluth is not a nudist colony... how peculiar. But if that's the trend, I guess that's it.
And that sums up my excitement-except not at all. This is beyond epic, and I'm psyched.

We Are Slamily
Today-we slammed.
And tomorrow-we slam.
And then I drive all the people to the airport and sleep in a different dorm.
And then I wake up long before God does and do that again.
This is my weekend, and haters gonna hate.
But seriously, this slam camp has been incredible to watch. It's remarkable how invested each poet is in not only their own work, but in the work of every single other person there. I honestly believe that the instructors are learning just as much as the kids are and I can't wait to see what in the world these people are coming up with. Here in a year, you'll be hearing about them-rocking worlds and spitting words in the air. Incredible to witness, and incredible to be involved. I'm honored and humbled by the amount of talent and passion that has collected here at GAC for a few short days. Keep it up "Slamily," you will do great things.
In other news, I would like to welcome Spaulding and Ben to the letter leader boards. No one has taken a clear lead yet, so get those pens to cranking.
And tomorrow-we slam.

ALL the letters!!!!
Oh heavens be. After a 12 work day and coming back to the apartment full of friendly faces, I'm just about ready to hit the hay. So for this post, I would like to give a little update on the letter leader board.
As a side note, there have been some considerable delays in receiving letters on my end. My first week on campus, I received a package from home, and a letter from grandma, but I found out about a week and a half later that good old GAC decided to start forwarding my mail to Missouri instead of just letting me get my mail conveniently on campus. What a waste of stamps. Mom ended up collecting all of my received letters and sending them to me. So, here is the list of those currently leading:
Michelle
Hannah
Joe
All of whom are entered in the competition. And the other things I got in the mail today.
Mom
Grandma
Andrea
Ashley
Lily
Kate S
The letter competition is still open, but now you've got ground to make up. Get to it.
