Happy North American National Day!

So, I go to bed at two in the morning, last night, after typing up the workshop lists for everybody who signed up for a workshop. Then, I wake up atSeven, to go wake everyone else up. It turns out that the wakeup committe had decidwed that a really fun way to wake everyone on campus up would be to get as big of amps as we could find, take them around to each house, and blast them awake with loud rock music, ever so courteously provided by your truely, along with another really good guitarist, Taylor, from Ontario. But wait, thatwon'tbe neough,that'sboringby itself, lets add more. I know, we have enoughpeople, lets bring a drum kitalong too! OK, sounds good to me. So we ended up with a bass, two guitars and a kit, beating away in each house at seven in the morning, with people running into everyroom, waking people up, all dressed in black, and up here it's dark until right when classes startat eight, so pitchblack, loud music, people running around...itwas a lot of fun. anyways, after that, myself and the drummer decided that we needto wake ourself up as well, so we went for an 8k run, in 30 minutes, cross country, which left us just enough time to get back, shower, and make to our workshops. He was teaching Soapstone Carving, and I taught Bluegrass Guitar. Anyways, we took off, up the road, turned off on a trail, kept following smaller and smaller trails, untill, we got completely lost, and ended up using that compass that Dad gave me to aim ourselves towards the lake, whereuponriving we sprinted the rest of the way back, but for a good half hour we were completely and utterly lost, a very unusual situation, because heis an Eagle as well, or rather a Queen's Scout, and heis also thesecond year known as the adventurer, so we must have been really, really far off campus. I have to rush, because I only have like two minutes left before the internet shuts off. Anyways, after that, we had a show, wher I played piano for "Summer Lovin", making it up on the spot, Piano for some Quebec-Cois Song, haviong heard the song once before, and guitar for the Irish Dancers, which was fun, because I got to follow that incredible Violinist I keep talking about. Mushc fun, and then the costume party, but I can't go into that right now, because I have to post this or else it won't make it on untill morning. Adios,

Nathan

Hey, I'm glad to see you putting all your musical training to good use. Maybe you'll go one step further and do a little practicing. Seriously, keep up the good work.
