Day #10 Journal Wed, July 15, 2015

-In world of music class today, me and three other students got to drum the hardest part of the song we played.

-In Creativity and the Art of Acting class, we played a game to thoroughly learn and be more aware of the space going on around us.

-In EDU Speech class, I presented my demonstration speech on How to Draw a Cartoon Bunny Rabbit. I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be and turned out to present much better than I did before. The only think I still have to be aware of is my speaking too quietly.

-Turkish went well, but earlier I'd been very upset because I'd accidentally broken the teacup I was supposed to use in a video or Turkish class!  But I later found out that it wasn't very valuable and that I could've bought a new one. Also in Turkish we wrote a list of over 30 vocab words in Turkish. I was nervous that we had to remember them all.

Day #3 Journal Wed., July 8, 2015

Today I was very happy to get to go to my first classes. My classes included communications, Japanese Culture and Language, World Music, and Art of Acting.

For my Japanese class, I went on a very interesting tour to learn about Toyota--which happens to be a Japanese company--and how they make their cars. While I was there, I learned a few Japanese words. In my communications class, I learned that communication is not only verbal, but it can also be seen in eye-contact and body language. In my World Music class, I learned how to play a complicated, yet fun song to play on a drum. And finally, in my Art of Acting class, we played games to learn about acting techniques. The games were awkward to play at first, but they they quickly became fun and interesting.

Later when classes were over, I got to bond with other campers during game night. I had a blast playing games and learning about other people. I was also glad to have plenty of leisure time to rest and to finish work from classes.
