Aliens Strike Back thing. It was quite... wow. Not a whole lot of fun. I was pretty lonely at dinner while my friends sat in one of those big circle-groups. I didn't feel like doing that. But some counselor people came over and talked which was cool. The counselors there are actually really nice. They remember my name and make an effort to talk to me. And one time at the end one of them gave me a hug. How nice.
Blue won. I was on blue. First I was on team pink, then some people asked me to change to orange, then someone wanted to switch with a blue. So there. I picked up cards mainly but didn't do any popping. We put a balloon (life source) on our back under our clothes and if yours got popped you went back to your hive (blue's was in the library which was near the sanctuary and pretty small) to get a new one. Boys could only pop boys, girls pop girls. I didn't get attacked at all, seeing as I mainly stayed within 20 feet of my hive. And I didn't even try to pop someone.
It was weird, though because at the beginning we had to blow up balloons and guess what. I couldn't I just... couldn't. I would blow, and it wouldn't fill up. Kinda ironic, seeing as I can play trumpet but not blow a frickin' balloon. I think it's because I breathe through my nose (baaaaad habit I need to get rid of) when I play trumpet, so the air didn't actually go through my mouth really. Huh.
At the end I just walked home. We had my dad's collegue over and his girlfriend, who had both visited us here when we were here 4 years ago. Then I was tired and the Internet didn't work so I just went to bed.
-------------------------
Saturday was weird. For one thing, I was reeaaaaalllly tired when I woke up. I woke up at 8, but sort of just laid down. Then something really weird happened. I looked through the patio door-windows at the clouds. I stared for a while. And it seemed like... the clouds were moving. Now, I know what you're going to say- well, DUH, clouds, move!!!! But see, it was like... you could hardly tell. And there were just little patches of sky (hole in the clouds) so it was hard to tell. And then there was a bigger opening higher up, and it was almost freaky. Then there was this like rumbling sound. And it seriously was like... I dunno... something... not normal. And I remembered how Emma told me on Friday how the whole world had bet on aliens coming to Earth Saturday.
It was pretty freaky, trust me. But I wasn't freaked out. I was too tired so my brain was just like, "oh. I see. Cool." To that sort of thing.
Sunday was better. I just had like a cold. I played hockey and did my homework.
Argh. I did not get to work on my documentary. That was really bad. I so regret that. But I'll seriously try this week/weekend.
Aaaaaand you guys I have news.
My first trumpet lesson is Tuesday at 7. I haven't practiced though since I've been sick, so my first impression might not be good. But eh whatever.
Turns out I CAN play with the women's team only on Wednesdays. Question is, do I want to? I already have school (of course), trumpet lessons and late hockey practice. So I might not. And plus, it was rather intimidating the last practice. Not that pleasant. And CERN is cool.
School does not get out July 4th as I stated before. It actually gets out July 2nd. Which makes life easier!!!!! That means we might actually leave July 3rd (making it closer to 365 days) which means less time here and yeah and yeah. So cool. I counted on my calendar that I have about 200 school days total. But only 180 left. Such a small number, I know. But yeah cool.
The daughter of the family that is taking care of our beloved Chesterton is living in Spain (she's like 18) and my mom wants to invite her for Xmas with us. I wouldn't really mind. That could be cool I guess.
