Juice Prepares for Summer Camp

I've been working my way through a binder full of classic essays and other writings for the "Great Books Seminar" I'm attending in August. The seminar is held at a fancy conference center out of town. We will be discussing works by the world's great writers and thinkers--Aristotle, Martin Luther King Jr., Drucker, Virginia Woolf, Plato, Mill, Machiavelli, etc.

We only have to read excerpts from these writings, but I do have a binder of nearly 500 pages to get through before I go. We have sessions all day every day, intersprersed with group lunches and dinners. I'm super psyched about going. My mind is swimming with this reading and I am glad to have the opportunity to discuss them. Even though I'll be in class basically from 8:15 a.m. to 9:15 p.m. all week (It's a 3-credit class) with just a few breaks in between, I think it will be fun....kind of like summer camp.

Yeah, we're getting together with the band camp kids at the end of the week to go rollerskating.

"...And one time, at book camp..."
