Day 2 is complete!  Today we had our final classes for the speech portion, and tomorrow we’ll be competing in a one-day tournament.  My classes today were actually enjoyable (*collective gasp*), since they dealt with photography and were quite informative.  It was also great to be going to the same classes as my friend Lydia–I have this immature fear of going places alone, even if it’s in one facility.  Call me weird.  I am pretty weird.

As for the tournament tomorrow…that will be a stretch.  Thus far, I’ve felt good about the whole thing, probably because I haven’t had to stretch myself too far past my comfort zone.  Tomorrow will be a whole new level of growing, since competition has always terrified me.  Like, seriously terrified.

A few pictures from the past two or three days:

Mrs. Moon talks about the conference’s theme, “Lead the Escape.”

Katy looks pretty happy in the car on the way to the church.

Dueling cameras!

A partial shot of this year’s RAP graduates (I was sitting too far forward to include everyone).  Actually, I managed to get all three ARC students–Toni, Kathryn Grace, and Christina.  Congratulations to them!

Justin Louis lectures on the importance of visual communication via mediums such as photography, film, and art.

Christina draws a connection between bananas, and…lightbulbs.  Get it?

Avery looks cool in sunglasses.

The final event of the evening was the “Dinner Theater,” put on by the CFC interns–a play that had everyone laughing over the course of the evening.

Every good comedy has to include a proposal scene.

So, that was my day.  Still a long ways to go…
