Lifestyle of Learning 2018 Edition: Volume Three

January 28 - February 3

Maceo began the week with his final performance as Aaron in Titus Andronicus.  There was a  91 year old man in the audience who apparently was quite impressed with the young man who was playing Aaron, according to a friend.  He was particularly complimentary of Maceo's diction and flow.  He was a theatre and Shakespeare professor from Missouri State University who just got selected for their Hall of Fame.  He is quite accomplished and was John Goodman's and Kathleen Turner's instructor.  It was quite affirming.
Bishop attended scouts where he was selected to be the assistant patrol leader.  They made menus for the upcoming campout.
Bishop had his culinary internship.
Maceo attended Youthfest rehearsal and Youthfest.





It was quite an evening and I love watching him perform.
Bishop had the unique opportunity to work as an assistant instructor for his pottery instructor.
Maceo submitted two of his college applications!!!!!!!!!
Maceo attended ppt acting.
The boys played Magic together.
Bishop got in some kitchen time this week, making steaks and more.
Bishop worked on cleaning and reorganizing his room.
Maceo had rehearsal for two of his improv teams, Home Team and No Strings Attached.
I watched a production of West Side Story.
Maceo performed with Improvable Causes; I also got to watch this!
Maceo also performed improv with Home Team.
I took Bishop and a friend to watch a high school debate.  The topic of the debate was "The United State should abolish the capital gains tax."  It was an amazing experience and we spent hours discussing it afterwards.  So cool.  The city that we went to to watch the debate was not far from where some dear friends live so we were able to meet up with them for lunch.  It was a delightful way to end the week.
I look forward to seeing what this next week has to offer us!!!
