Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

The Shakespeare lecture today was so interesting. It was especially eye-opening for me because the truth about the theater of the time really is very different from the commonly held notions of the atmosphere around it. 
It made me really happy that we checked in. Can we do that every day? I miss starting my morning by describing myself as a piece of fruit or an article of clothing.
Also, explicating Shakespeare is something I really enjoy. I loved the connection between iambic pentameter and the heartbeat. I definitely don't always understand all the lines just reading it, and I guess I don't really know why else I love looking at it in depth but I don't think I need a reason.
Staging was also great, I feel really confident about preparation and time management for this show. I'm not used to that. You guys are all phenomenal; I loved watching. I am definitely excited to see how the 25 cast does with it.
Leo - I'm glad you realized that there were, in fact, stacks of chairs behind us.
Spencer - The dude trumps all.
