  Watching "Hamilton's America" on PBS and I'm dying, its two hours of pure Hamilton-ness and all the Hamilton cast and I'm dying only a little bit. It's actually great. 2 hours of my life I will not regret. Also my camp name at the camp I work at is "Hamilton". I have made five friends thanks to my name. Yay!!!

             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Things I've seen, witnessed, and how I'm feeling:
•Phillipa and everyone else being their amazing selves (watching myself smile in a really happy way and hearing those beautiful voices)
•Michelle Obama fangirling
•This one Asian boy at the White House connect with my feelings toward the musical Hamilton itself and crying only a little bit
•All the Hamilcast and Hamilcrew talking about everything Hamilton and being beautiful
•Governor Paul Ryan (or boring Jake  Gyllenhaal) being a human being as other politicians
•Getting an inside scoop on the musical
•Barack Obama being a savage
•Jasmine and Anthony being absolutely adorable and #couplegoals
•These two women during commercial break being more Hamiltrash than all of us combined
•Watching Phillipa perform "Burn" and crying
•Historians going through the historical aspect, the cast through the musical aspect, everyone else going through it all
•Seeing all these other, regular people being Hamiltrash just like us
•Lin making fun of Hamilton's writing problem (you'll see if you watch it)
•Getting a dueling lesson along with Lin and Leslie and the line of: "You get so much time to apologize!!"
•Recollecting on the one time I put a cookie on a Lafayette statue in Lafayette Park to honor Lafayette and Daveed
•The humor and philosophies of everyone else connected and supportive of the show

What really hit me the most watching this is seeing all the gravestones of all the characters as realizing they aren't characters, they are actual people and it's really emotional and listening to the wonderful Hamilton cast philosophizing about life and death and it hits home in a certain aspect.

  Being honest I cried really hard after watching this. It was so beautiful and I really recommend everyone watch it. Hamiltrash or not, it's a wonderful documentary and it changed me in a way. Ready to go see the musical in September.
And sorry for not updating my loyal Hamiltrash. Updating and publishing. Comment if I should put this in the Wattys competition.

PS: It sounds like the last chapter, well, it's not. This is really the beginning for this. I feel like I was baptized into the Hamilton fandom after watching this. It's a beautiful feeling. *starts belting the end of Heather's beautiful* Sorry for the deep chapter, it's meaningful to me.

PPS: Also, may change the cover.
