Last few weeks

August 26, 2007 at 12:36 AM

After one week at camp and a week of Vacation Bible School at my church I'm so tired. Let me recap through camp. I went there and got to play mandolin through the singing of the services because they wanted people in their orchestra. I got to play a concert violin, compared to mine; mine is trash. I actually sounded really good on songs I can't play very well. Wow! It was fun.
Vacation Bible School is very tiring. Although I didn't teach I was tired just playing piano and running the store. I'm excited to start resting this September. Oh yeah I have to get a job.
Oh and to Sarah: It was four competetions but I actually had to play 8 different times for competitions, and 2 times for winning. (Although I didn't win: My piano teacher's solo, and my piano's teacher and her friend.

Emily,

I don't know what they are called. I just remember there were some kind of special dumpling made only in Shanghai. They have a really good broth with meat, all rolled up in a dumpling. They were amazing. We had about 6 different kinds of these things, but the special Shanghai dumpling was my favorite! Still think about them sometimes!
(But still, give me one of those huge trout from Alaska, along with some scrambled eggs for breakfast and I'm happy!)

Driver's ed is ok. I have two more days then Friday is the final test. I'm afraid that I might fail because I can't back around a corner.
