This weekend was our "English Weekend" at CSG. All week we had been perfecting a creative writing piece of our choice. On Friday night, we held out semester "Coffee House" where we read our pieces aloud to the community. Some people read their poetry, others read non-fiction and fiction stories. Everyone's works was fantastic! I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment after sharing my poem, which I had worked so hard on. Afterwards, we celebrated by having a dance party under a fluorescent disco ball that Leah brought in.
On Saturday morning, we headed to the Maine Women Writers Collection, which is an endowed library collection of literature from or by women who live in Maine. Some of the books were incredibly old, and it was amazing to see some of the original works by authors we had been reading! We each found our own little nook
and settled in with different books, reading and exploring the collected works. Then, we went to Wolfe's Neck State Park, where we had a "Maine style barbeque", (red snappers, moxie, and whoopee pies) We ended our weekend by sitting on the rocky coast with our journals, reflecting on how we have grown throughout this semester. ~Rosie
