Gosh, today was eventful and longer than the lunch line when the Italians get to the cafeteria first. A good kind of long though. Not the Italians; the day, I mean. First I woke up at 5 or 6AM, nice to know I can’t sleep through this new alarm I found,and I got a lot of alone time which– with 8 girls and 2 bathrooms–was very nice. It was cold though. I gotta learn how to use the AC,and more importantly, how to turn it off.
We did Aztec Math, which we got a tablet (like an abacus). It’s hard though! I still have to do subtraction on my hands with my fingers, so translating from fingers to tablet will be pretty hard. And then Academic English was good! It was fun listening to everyone talking. Then we went to Western University, and we learned about pollution and medical careers, and then went on a tour. I liked hanging out with Kevin Tarn and everything! Funny guy! And then we watched a movie about surfing and a famous man named Eddie Akiau (I think I spelled that right…? The tablets hard to work with multiple tabs).
But the best part was definitely when David came by to borrow Violet’s guitar and she brought out her fmusi in the hall right after my hot shower and just… Wow. He’s really improved from last year, I can’t wait to goto Wishatoyo because I remember Sarah and all the other Chumash musicians and David (and hopefully Violet!) playing together– it’s going to be amazing to hear. I can’t wait!
A wonderful end to a wonderful night guys, thanks David and Violet; love you both!
