Listening to: Ummm.. I am watching Hocus Pocus.. lol :)
Feeling: alright
Okay, what has happened in these past few
million gazillion trillion blah blah days.
This summer went by pretty fast. Right after
shool got out ( which was another event on
itself that I will get to), I went to Summer
School, which was wierd.
Supposedly, the Summer School class I took
was " to prepare me for organizational
skills" I really need those =]
I made a lot of friends, and it was a good
experience. I ended up having to make a
speech about a topic and I got second place..
it was fun! Hhaha, I did my speech on illegal
immigration. Enough said.
So after that, I went to San Francisco
California. Wow, how wierd was that place.
Okay, back to the story. I went for my
cousins' wedding. We stayed at this BEAUTIFUL
hotel in Berkeley (spelling) California. Wow,
talk about luxury! Holy cow, this place was
beautiful. Enough with the blab. Anywhoo, I
made friends there too, and I ended up
playing violin with this professional
pianist, and I was in my pajamas- it was
kinda a "spur of the moment thing"
It was so funny! My parents went out of the
hotel and they left me there with my
kindasortamaybe cousins or something.. but
they are singers- and my mom and dad and my
hugeeee family came back to see the waiters
and people dancing around the piano with
teenagers entertaining them :) It still makes
me laugh.
So then we went to San Francisco. I begged my
mom and dad to take me to see the front of
where they filmed the "supposed" Full House,
House. Well, did you know that for privacy
reasons, no one knows where that house is?
NO ONE CAN STOP KATE J! ( last name kept for
stalker/psycho/wierdo reasons) But anywhoo,
we drove around and we couldn't find
anything, and I took random pictures that I
thought looked like the house- but they
werent. So then I got a bright idea to ask a
local ( wahaha) so I asked some guy walking
his dog, and he told me but he told me not to
tell anyone. But anywhoo, the second I
recognized it, I ran out of the car. The bad
part was that it was dark outtside, so the
pictures came out pretty dark. You can still
see it. The problem is was that I almost
forgot what the distinct look of the house
lookd like, because there are the same models
of houses over there, so I forgot. Now I
really rergret my experience there....
So then afterrrr... we went to0oo0o Missouri
and we visited my grandma, and then my sister
went off to college again and then my parents
left me with my cousins for a week, so yeah
that was fun.
And then I went home for two days.
And then I went to Nashville Tennessee for a
violin camp at Vanderbilt University that I
got selected for! It was SO0O0O MUCH FUN!
I took Irish Fiddling and Bluegrass and Rock.
I met Mark Wood, and he is making me an
electric violin, atm. He is so awesome! He
plays and makes electric violins, and I
learned Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles and
Sunshine of your love, and Toss the Feathers,
and I got to play on one of his violins and I
got picked for 3 solos on it! It was awesome,
but OF COURSE, when something awesome
happens, your parents have to screw it up by
BREAKING the video camera. I guess I will
never know how I did that day....
So then , I went to Maryland and small
places like Gainesville where my sister is at
college and stuff. But then school started
which was an event on its own. Ahh.. Saint
Thomas is a shocker.
The first day was really wierd. All my
teachers freaked me out and I went home all
mad and stuff. STA is realllllllllllly hard
forrrr meeeeee! I am up till really late
doing homework and the classes are really
challenging. I miss SBS a lot because it was
soooooooo easy! Now I actually have to study
for math tests and junk.
I guess change is good.... but why is it so
hardddddddddddd?
