I know I have already a lots of posts about vanas and caissa, but why not have one more? SO this past caissa which was as of today about 2 weeks ago and it was in Quito, Ecuador. First I'm going to talk a bit about Quito then I'm going to actually talk about the actual tournament. So Quito was like any other city I have been to on the other caissa trips its; run down, ghetto, not the best looking city and all that stuff. I wouldn't really recommend going to Ecuador, well that not true I don;t know enough about the rest of Ecuador, but I do not recommend going to Quito. The weather in Quito is very "bipolar" as we called it. The on Saturday when we got there it was chilly and crisp and you could feel the nice warm heat of the sun on you. Later on in the afternoon as we were having our last game of the day there was a huge thunder and lightning storm and it HAILED!!! which was really exciting. On Sunday at the school is was pretty cold in the morning and later on in the day we went to a hot springs and we were all dying of the heat it was so hot. Finally on Monday it was so hot and we were out watching our boys play and after the game everyone on the girls and boys team was completely burned! Like I said the weather there was very "bipolar".
In the tournament we did pretty well, we ended up getting second place which is still good, but it's not first place :( If we had won it would have been our fourth consecutive win, but oh well. The cool thing was is that over all out of all the teams we were the highest scoring team in the tournament, which is really good! We beat CMS and ISPS in every game by at least a 20 point difference. The only team we lost to was AC in the round robin game and in the final. Our boys came in fourth. They played for second and third place and the game was very close, it had to go into penalties and they lost by one shot. They went into the 3rd and 4th place game against AC(the best team, the tragically lost it against the worst team ISPS), so they weren't to lucky to have to play against the best team and they lost and got 4th. So far every caissa the boys have come in last except basketball because CMS forfeited. But us girls have done pretty good this year!

Summer, July
July
After I go to America my family is going to Canada. First were going to go to Vancouver. When we are in Vancouver we are going to hang out with my auntie and uncle and see my cousins. When I’m in Vancouver I’m either going to a Britney Spears concert on the 1st or a Rihanna concert on the 4th, I haven’t decided yet. After I’m going to my home town Castlegar just to chill out with my friends and family (most of my family is there). Then the next week I’m going to my favorite camp. It’s called Blue Lake Camp and it is a camp were you just chill and play games and learn stuff about the outdoors. This summer it’d different at the camp for me cause my age you can’t go to normal camp you have to do this program called OYLS which is where you train to be a counselor. The thing I’m bummed out about a little is that I have to leave one day early so that I can make it to my volleyball camp. I’m sad about this because I leave Friday and Friday is where everything happens, like the formal dinner and the midnight story telling of the camp. But I am excited because this is the first summer that I am going to the volleyball camp because previous summers I went to a soccer camp but now I am too old L. I am really excited about the volleyball camp because I love volleyball and I can’t wait to do 5 days of intense volleyball training. After my two consecutive weeks of camp we are going to have about 3-4 days to say good bye to everyone and then we will have to come back to this stupid place.
Summer, June

Summer vacation is right around the corner and you have no idea how excited I am!! For this summer I have a lot of stuff planned and during the whole summer there are only going to be two weeks in the beginning of July where I will have free time to do nothing. School ends on the 10th and I’m out of this place on the night of the 12th/13th. Originally we were going straight to Canada and no America but then we decided to go to America so we fly from here to Toronto to Philadelphia to Atlanta. We are going to be in Atlanta for a week because one of my mom and dad’s best friends from china is having a baby and the baby is supposed to be born on my mom’s birthday, so they wanted to be there. After Atlanta we are going to a small town in Pennsylvania with a population of about 1000 people, to visit my best friend and her twin brother, coincidentally the same time I’m going to be there my friend who is my best friends brother’s best friend from China is also going to be there. I think we are going to be with my friend for about a week and then after that week we going to go to Philadelphia and my dad is going to go to some geeky computer teacher conference and I am either going to go with them or stay for another week with my friend. Then After all this were going to go to Canada.
