In the middle of nowhere

I arrived safe and sound at the staff retreat location...a mere 2 hour drive from any civilization. Seriously, the nearest thing is a place literally called "Hillbilly Haven", a camping ground/vacation spot. Hillbilly. Haven.

I am lucky in that my roommate isn't coming until today, so I got the room to myself last night. It's a really good thing to be the first one in the room. You get to pick the bed, the best dresser drawers, spread all your stuff out on the desk. To think, this girl agreed to be my roommate! Sucker.

I'm nervous about the talent show tomorrow but I'm just gonna do it and have fun. I have to get past my worry about what people will think and how they will inevitably compare my performance to last years. I've just gotta not care what they think and go out there and make fun of myself and have a good time. If I come across uncomfortable and worried, they will totally feel it too. The audience can always tell when the performer isn't enjoying him or herself. And I've just gotta scream "I'm having a good time."

Better get back to work. I've gott a lot of things to make fun of. We're in West Virginia after all.
