Hey guys, long time, no blog. I’ve actually been really really busy with a lot of different things. I’m at summer camp! Let me back up a bit. My last post was after finals had finished. Man, was I ever relieved! However, I barely had any time to relax, because my family and I were headed off to a week-long road trip. We had to drive from Calgary to Los Angeles… a 3-day trip! Man, was it ever sweaty in that car… heh. 5 people, 1 Toyota Corolla. How does that sound? But it was fun. Lots of fun! We went to LA and spent most of our time at Six Flags Mountain. Friggin AMAZING! There’s this one ride called X2, which is the coolest and most sensory-disorienting ride I’ve ever been on. You go upside-down while zooming in a dive towards the ground (like with rotating seats so you’re facing straight down!!!) while fire shoots at you and metal music blasts at you while you fly through the fog. Anyways, this place had the fastest and coolest rides on the planet. We did other stuff in LA, like going to the beach, and I got to get a VIP tour of Warner Bros Studios (the guys who make the Harry Potter films). Here I got to see real props and stuff from the Harry Potter films (cool) and from other movies, followed by a tour of the whole studio, where I saw sets from movies like Spider-Man (the kissing scene place, even though it was a Sony Columbia film) and You Don’t Mess with the Zohan (the barber shop, the street, and the electronics store). I also got to see the full set for Two and a Half men, which is a funny hilarious sitcom I like love. Anyways, we drove to Vegas after that, but I can’t tell you anything because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. (I’m gonna kill myself for saying that). Anyways, after that we drove back home and I had a few days of relaxation before heading off to camp. I’ll blog about camp in a later post. For now, though, ciao… I gotta go do my uniform. (boo!)
