Just In Time!!!

I definitely think that Writer's Week should come back! I miss it already!

MONDAY
So we, the class, got to see Julie Halpern! It was cool. I thought that she had a nice clear voice filled with emotion. I could tell that she knew exactly where she should emphasize on her words. But what distracted my quite a bit was her body movement when she would keep ...wiggling (not quite sure about how to describe it)and twitching. Maybe it was also the swaying. I don't recall. Other than that, sure the fat thing was funny. But she brought it up a little too much for my taste. Overall, i thought she was good because she had funny experiences and shared them with us, the audience, in a funny manner that was entertaining. ALSO I SAW LIZZY JAMNICK!!!!! I CONGRATULATE HER AGAIN!!!!

TUESDAY
So on this day, the student performed. Going in order. Tamar Alexanian had a good story that I enjoyed but, it could be just me, her hair flipping annoyed me. If she wanted her hair out of her face then I think that she should have pinned it up.Nekendra Currie rhymed which I salute her for because it must of been harder in comparison to a free versed poem. Also, even though it was clear that she was nervous, she still tried her best and was able to get her meaning across to me.Colleen Francis had a different type of poem. Her poem was happy and pretty cool even though it was about a hard time that she had to go through. Jonathan Stoller-Schoff was ever all funny and enjoyable. He knew where he had to pause in order to let the "funny" really stand out. Alaina McCaffery had an adoriable experience from my point of view but her hair was a bit distracting as it hung in front of her face. Unser Ahmed...I have absolutely no complaints. I loved his. Oh and I went on this day so I have no complaints.

WEDNESDAY
Sierra DeMulder was amazing. Gosh I kept wondering how old she was! She was very powerful and I like how she didn't present her ideas bluntly but asked us if we knew what she was talking about then gave us information. Very good tone and I really loved her poems and they were very (times 10000000000) good. She is definitely a good entertainer as well as slam poet. She also had a wonderful personality when i talked to her in the Writer's Week room. I hope I get to see and talk to her next year.

THURSDAY
Well I would first like to say....type that i think that it must of been very hard for tech crew so even though they were having technical errors, i think they did a good job.I liked when Hannah Fox had a song that was not only in Spanish but also in English. Though I wish that she had must in the background or some kind of beat.Deena Bishop must of had it hard playing the piano with a problem with her thumb. I had something similar happen to me before like that and it was HARD! Good job overall to Maggie Denver. Daniel Ghadaksaz must have been really nervous to be rapping in front of a lot of people. Even though he was quiet and i couldn't really hear him, he is courageous and his rap was beautiful. Maybe if he made it a MP3 I would download it. Hannah Lee was AMAZING!!! Encore Hannah Lee, ENCORE!!!

FRIDAY
Billy Lombardo... I admit i did get VERY sleepy. He was pretty timid and not very confident overall. But I've heard that his book is good! I think he is one of those people that are good writers but not really good entertainers. But I am sure he has a wonderful amount of words that he will write in the future.

OVERALL
I absolutely love Writer's Week! It is wonderful, amazing, and more!!! I wish that we could have this more often! Well the people were courageous this year to go up on stage in front of many and show their "art", their "passion", their "soul". I am really grateful that I participated in Writer's Week this year and i have no regrets what so ever. And, just like last year, I came out of this inspired, refreshed, and emotionally "bloated" after the week was over. COME BACK WRITER'S WEEK!!! I feel like I might die without you!!!
