AMAZINGLY FUNNN.

Where else can you meet super friendly Finnish people, meet people that actually GET your choir jokes, go on cruises, sing ALL day, explore the "scary" dark basement of a Berkley college, and play Red Rover for two hours straight with people you've never met before?

No where else, my friend.

No where else.

But seriously, it WAS a blast.

I sat next to my friend Kathleen, a girl from Finland named Linda, and Anothony, a very feminine but hilarious Colorado-inian? Every day for three hours we got to work with composers from England, California and Finland. My favorite composer EVERRRR was there, Bob Chilcott. He's such a cute little British man, and is very nice. :)
Then every night we would perform. IT was kinda difficult listening to choirs that are WAYYY better than you. But luckily there were some not-so-good ones there as well, so we weren't totally down.

In fact, in the children's category, we got 1st place in the historical category, and 2nd in folk (AKA REALLY good).

...And I have absolutely no patience for blogging, so now I say buh bye.
