I was at Camp Tecumseh last week, and now I am back! Camp was a ton of fun!

My favorite things were:

- Pool and Lake

- Tecumseh Toothpicks (we built a bridge out of toothpicks; our cabin’s bridge won 1st holding 9 washers)

- Food (yum!)

- Friends (old and new)

My not so favorite parts of camp:

- The heat (it was over 90 degrees not counting humidity everyday)

- Leaving camp

Since I am going with the jazz band to Disney World, I am taking jazz lessons this summer. One of the things that I have to do is memorize the twelve blues scales. I have only memorized three, because there are many sharps and flats in the scales. I am working hard though!

Have you ever had to do something really hard?

P.S.- I’m at Camp Tecumseh this week! (This post is on publish later)

I am leaving today for Camp Tecumseh! At camp, you can do a ton of things. The daily schedule looks like this:

- Wake up

- Breakfast

- Chapel

- Classes (we choose three sports/ crafts to learn during the week)

- Lunch

- Rest Hour

- Pool or Lake

- Dinner

- Misc. Activities (hiking, cabin games, etc.)

Camp is a ton of fun! This year I am going with Taite. Also, two of my other friends, Claire and Caroline, will be at camp this week. I am really excited for this afternoon!

Are you going to any camps this summer?

Good evening Web 2.0!

My friend and classmate Anne is trying to reach 5 dots on her ClustrMap this summer. I think that we should help her out and visit her blog! She has written some really interesting posts, from Text Lingo to ClustrMap Superstars to Summer Birthdays, Anne has written something for everyone! Visit her blog right now at http://annep604.edublogs.org!

I finished a scarf for my grandma last Monday.I just got my computer back today, so I am just now being able to take pictures and blog about it. I knit it using three colors: brown, gray, and orange. The pattern was 4 rows of gray knitting, 4 rows of gray stockinette (knit a row, purl a row), 4 rows of brown knitting, 4 rows of brown stockinette, 1 row of orange knitting, 8 rows of gray knitting, and 8 rows of brown knitting. I repeated this 7 times.

My favorite part is the fringe. I used two strands of each color for the fringe. It adds quite a bit of orange! I really think that my grandma is going to enjoy her birthday present!

Next February, the Jazz Band and Swing Choir are going to Walt Disney World in Florida! We are spending a weekend there, and we are going to four of the parks: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios (the former MGM Studios). We are going because we are partaking in the Disney Jazz Celebration. We will play  and be judged, watch famous jazz musicians play, and participate in workshops to improve our jazz skills. It is going to be a really exciting weekend!

This summer, I am trying to use less technology and take a break from the computer and T.V.  So, I am going to be blogging less.  I will 100% still blog, but it will be less often.
