So upon going back, even though I live like right across the street from it I don't go back there. And last night I did. I walked there and it literally takes me longer to get from one side of the campus to the other than to walk from my house there. But it brought back all those memories of waking up in the morning, getting ready and walking to school and likewise walking home. High school was a flash. It seemed to never end but it did end really fast. Before I knew it I was thrust back into college.
It was so weird going back and walking through campus and realizing how it hasn't changed. It's the people. There were so many people there that I didn't know or recognize which I expected and knew would happen but it was still weird. Life really does go on.
I also saw some familiar faces, and that was great. But again they've changed. And I've changed and it's all interesting to see the differences that have happened. And at the core some of those people are still the same and it's comforting.
As for the play. It blew me away. I don't even know what to say. It was about four guys who are mentally disabled and trying to integrate them into society. It was heartbreaking, it was adorable and it was powerful.
I loved it. I teared up throughout it. I applaud them.
It's amazing that high schoolers can pull that off. I really truly hope they continue in theatre because it would be such a waste to let it all go.
All and all a good experience that I don't regret.
