One Week Remaining

One week remaining in Medellin, another week traveling somewhere, and I will be returning. I'm already setting up jobs and auditions in NYC. I spent this morning updating my resume. That took some time. I still need to plow through my pile of contact information from here.

The youth festival 'Arte e Escuela' is this coming Friday, the 29th. Things are coming together for the schools' presentations. The work in the two schools is really different from each other. We've got rooftop tiles drawn on and t-shirts printed for Maria Cano, and a cube of tubing along with their uniforms for San Ignacio. Things might change over this week, so I'll talk about the presentations themselves afterwords.

I grabbed a drink last night with Matt O'Brien, here on a Fulbright for photography. We discussed the oddities and joys of being Americans here in Medellin. I planned to go to a Mayan dance presentation, but ended up deciding I didn't want to risk being in a room where everyone was concerned about the apocalypse coming in 2012.

I've got a bit of the sniffles, so I'm not being too active today. I have quite a week ahead.

I forgot to mention the University of Antioquia opened again the other week.

That's pretty much what's going on. Everyone seems to be very busy all of a sudden. It was a solid week with a lot of work. And this week will be a week of goodbyes, group by group.
