PIANO CAMP!!
This week I got to go to a piano camp!! I even got to stay in the dorms. It was hard work all week because we had lots of classes and tons of practicing, but it was also a lot of fun! My roommate was a really nice girl who is starting high school next year. She was also my duet partner, so I got to know her really well. I made several other good friends and we have been e-mailing each other since we got back home. I'll miss them! It was really fun to eat at the cafeteria and have ice cream after every meal. I probably gained like 10 pounds this week! I also got to go swimming one night and my mom got me a new swimming suit for it. It's so cute! It's pink and brown and it has a cute little skirt so it's a little more modest! I learned so much and the teachers made it so much fun. I even got to take a jazz piano class. My solo was awesome - it was probably one of my best performances, and my duet was also really great. My mom got to come to my duet concert and afterwards she came to see my dorm room that I've been staying in and meet my new friends. I had to miss string camp, but this was WAY better - because it was more for older kids. Only advanced players could go to it. I am definitely going next year! I got a scholarship this year, but next year I will have to save up so I can go.

I'm so glad you got to go, too! That's sure a neat experience. I wish I could've seen your performance, and meet your new friends... but, I wouldn't want to EMBARRASS you like I did with Justin. Sorry I'm such an obnoxious aunt!
That's so awesome, Akayla. Sounds like tons of fun! How fun that you got to stay in the dorms! Genelle really is an obnoxious aunt! She throws names around like she is the only person who reads your blog! Jeez!
What a great experience for you Akayla. I'm happy that you did well on your solo and duet. You are developing into a wonderful pianist. Keep up the hard work and practicing. You will be an inspiration to others in your adult years. Gma
Genelle,
You aren't THAT obnoxious. I still love you to death even though you did embarrass me.
That is so cool.
That is so cool. You're really good. Hope you're having a good summer.
