What really sucked was the 6:30 was actually 5:30 in Saskatchewan (as Kaylianna and Janet know so well!)
Okay, so I wrote down some things I had to remember:
We had this little lightbulb above our door, and I was like "it's an alien mothership," and then Janet was like "and it opens the door for us!" Because the dorms were locked at certain times. It was funnier at the time. I took a couple pictures of it.
Kaylianna was in line for the phone and me and Janet were with her, and this girl was talking to a friend, and was all like "shut UP! Shut UP!" and then she was like "I love you sweetie!" and I was like "was she talking to a friend or a boyfriend?" and we think it was a friend. So anyway, somehow we started saying she was another alien that came in the mothership above our dorm.
We were waiting for the dorm to open, and some girl was like "can you hold my bag please?" but Kaylianna thought she said "can you hold onto my panties?"
And I was like "I hate bugs!" and Janet was like "what kind of plugs?" and we were watching the Emporer's New Groove and it was at the part were Pacha fell and was being held to the bridge by vines and Janet was like "I didn't know he had suspenders!"
And we think there is something in the American lemonade and water from the vending machine. I had water and Kaylianna and Janet had lemonade and we were all hyper.
Okay, everyone I talk to says they hate Andrew Mcmahon's voice, but Kaylianna likes it! Yay! Kaylianna, you have good taste! I think Janet likes them too, but I can't remember. I made Janet listen to a whole bunch of bands. I think she liked them all. You rock Janet! Rock on!
Anyway, I have some funny American stories for you:

1. Our organ teacher said "rut" instead of "root"

2. They say "25 till" instead of "25 to"

3. They don't have Kit Kat, and I think they have Caramello instead of Caramilk.

4. They say "piANists" instead of "PIanists"

5. Kaylianna, Alycia, and Sara were in line for the phone, and these girls asked where they were from and when they said Canada they went all weird and were making fun of them and were like "Canada, eh? Do you like, salute?" and I was just like "they're the ones with military, not us." And then they asked what our theme song was. I think they meant national anthem...

6. One girl asked my friend Tracey if the Canadian national anthem was American. Whats up with that? Like, how stupid can you be??? "oh, is the American national anthem Moroccan?"

7. I was standing in line for hotdogs and this guy came up to me and was like "where are you from?" and I'm like "Saskatchewan" and he's like "ohhh Canada! I hate you now!" and he walked away, and I was just like "oookay then" and his friend said he liked my shirt (it said "hug a Canadian today")

8. They think our country name is Canadia

9. Somebody told me that somebody in front of them in line and was talking about how we have Eskimos and half of us live in igloos. The irony is that there are no such thing as Eskimos. There are different tribes, and none is called Eskimo.

My harmony and ensemble teacher was like "Canadians know way more about us then we do about them. It's kind of sad actually."

So anyway, someone told me we didn't have another seminar on Tuesday, so after my private lesson I just hung around campus and talked to Katherine, and then Janet and Kaylianna are like "where were you!!" Oops. And then the teachers would talk about "oh, you remember this from Dr. Groves' seminar right?" and I would just nod my head along with everyone else.

I have this really bad watch tan, and get this...a little indentation. I guess its to be expected, since I've worn it practically 24/7 for about four years. So anyway, I had to switch wrists, but I still want to wear my wristband, which is on the wrist my watch wasn't on, so I'm starting a new trend...watch over wristband! So if you want to be in on the wave of the future, wear your watch over your wristband, and be like me!

We have a little Harmony inside joke. We were learning about rondo form and making little pie charts with the pattern, so there were five pie slices, for part A, B, A, C, A, and Tom was like "hey! It's the circle of fiths!" (it's a piano thing. It's a chart with keys going by fifths, like C to G to D and it has the key signatures.) So anyway, there was dead silence, and then he was like "I thought it was funny!" It was so stupid.

I think the highlight of the week was the half dead moth I found on my tray. It was disgusting.
I have to go because because Lindsay is bothering me. Blah blah blah. I filled up three disposable cameras with pictures. I got tons of candid ones of Janet and Kaylianna.
Btw, I didn't see War of the Worlds. I was going to, but we decided not to. Thanks for the little commentary though. I enjoyed it.
So that was my week at camp. I'll talk more later. Ciao!
