Day 150- Camp: The Awkward First Day (August 8)

As awkward and shy as I am, I've got a huge panache for the arts. I love to sing (behind closed doors, with only me being able to hear), I dance (in front of mirrors) I adapt different accents randomly (no side note here; it's true), I'm very dramatic and expressive. I'm just not good at doing it in front of strangers. That didn't stop me from going to drama camp.
As soon as I walked through the doors, I was kicking myself for having decided to sign up. What business did these people have getting me to express myself.
We started by playing the name games; Me, Taylor, Chelsea, Emma, Finn and the instructors: Jeff, Katie and Melanie.
Name games; we wrote in notebooks for half an hour; stretches; vocal warm-ups; yoga; juggling (no rhyme or reason; they just told us to each get three bean bags and start juggling) we got an hour for lunch, then started reading through some scenes and monologues.
Now, a drama camp could work if there was at least one outgoing kid among us. Sadly, there was not. They were literally four other versions of me. Most of the first day was spent awkwardly looking around the room, hoping someone else would volunteer to go first. Long story short, the first day of camp was not the best day of camp.
