This summer has been amazing! I went to the Monterey Jazz Festival Summer camp in June, right after I started my blog, which explains why I haven't really been keeping it up. I learned a bunch about vocal jazz and jazz music in general. I performed solo, with a combo, and with a jazz vocal ensemble. It was an awesome experience and I hope to go next year and be in the Honor vocal jazz ensemble.
My family runs a youth theatre company called San Jose Youth Shakespeare, and we just finished our summer production of Hamlet!! It was awesome! This is the 15th play we have done, and I have been a part of all of them. I've been busy with 4-H as well. 4-H camp was in July, which I was on staff for. My job was to lead campfire songs and skits every night. It was lots of fun but pretty stressful. I am now a Santa Clara County All Star for the '11-'12 year of 4-H! I'm really excited for this year! I've also been learning to drive, and I'm hoping to have my license in October.
I've been watering my pumpkins every day! There are two visible ones about the size of a Cantaloupe. One of them has pretty much stopped growing, but I have faith in the other! There are many little ones on the sprawling vines across my lawn as well. I hope that I will get one jack o' lantern worthy pumpkin out of this! Pictures will be up soon. :)
