Spring Forward

Alright everyone, I'm leaving in two days and words cannot express my excitement.

I went to sleep away camp growing up, and the first year I finally got to work there they had us write down on a piece of paper our hopes, dreams and fears for the summer so that we could reflect on it by the end of the summer.

So that's what I'm going to do right now:

Hopes:

I think it's very obvious to say I hope I come back an improved Whip Cracker. With working 6 hours a day with the man, I think it would be rather difficult for me not to at least improve a little. I also really hope that i can figure out type of leather whip I wish to purchase hopefully sooner then later.  I hope to learn more information about the whip in general. I'm planning on having whip cracking being a part of my Performing Arts Center program "when I grow up" so I need to know as much about it as I possibly can.

Dreams:

Gosh, wouldn't it be cool if someone super famous happen to pop by while I was there? Sure, not going to lie, it would be awesome. But I'm not exactly expecting it plus, I'm really going to be there to work, so this is simply a kind of cool thought. My real dream is to come back with my technique and abilities ten fold more advanced then what they are now. That's the end goal I am working for. Let's cross out fingers!

Fears:
I was talking to someone about this just the other day. My biggest fear is to come home with no improvement whatsoever. Whip cracking does not come easy to me. I have to really practice the s*** out of everything and even then it's not always right. So this fear, while unlikely, is not totally absurd.

I will be taking pictures, and maybe, if possible, some video as well while I am out there. When I get back, expect a huge post. I am also going to try to actually post day by day so stay tuned and hopefully you'll be getting a "live news feed" so to speak!

That's all I got for now.

Until Next Time,

Signed,
