Spanish camp at Concordia Language Camps (El Lago Del Bosque)

Yesterday I got back from Spanish camp and it was amazing! I know you Frenchies hated French camp 'cause they were all speaking in fluent French. They were doing that with us, except Spanish instead of French. If you pay attention you can figure out what they're saying...
Anyway, El Lago Del Bosque, which means Lake of the Woods, was the camp and it was really fun. Everything was Caribbean (El Caribe) themed, the food was delicioso, etc. My favorite food was the piña colada cookies. Or the salsa... No se... And I've noticed that I just CANNOT STOP SPEAKING ESPAÑOL!!! Even when I don't try, I end up saying lo siento, or gracias, or hola, or SOMETHING in Spanish. Voy a intentar parar el hablar de español. (I will try to stop speaking Spanish.) But it probably won't work...
Well, I'd better stop before I confuse you further....

2nd post of the day...

Okay, I thought I was done for today. Apparently I'm not...
Alright, straight to the point, I thought this was HILARIOUS: the UK's national anthem ("God Save The Queen") has the same melody as "My Country Tis Of Thee". This is another one of those "the chicken or the egg" scenarios: Did we copy them? Or did they copy us?
That's your homework for today, children!
ENJOY!

Failure-ness

I just realized my life is FILLED with fails. Example: this blog. I was adding a post a day. For less than a week.... Then I (unintentionally) wait another month.
ANYWAY, today is the first day for the honor jazz band I'm in. Scott Highlands Middle School in Apple Valley... Just so you know, I'm not saying that it's a long drive ('cause it's not), just that I don't know the school very well (a.k.a. at all) and I don't even know where I'm supposed to go. I should probably check the email...
Also, I'm in a regular honor band (not jazz). Which is in Austin.... I don't even know where that is!!
Then there's Spanish camp next week in Bemiji (? I don't know how it's spelled and I don't wanna look it up).
So that's it at the moment. ENJOY!
