Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week 9 - Wednesday: Day 40

My day didn't start that well. I couldn't sleep at times. Had a nightmare which scared me and got me temprorarily afraid of being in the dark (this rarely happens o.o)
And I woke up with sore muscles at my shoulder and neck which results in a headache, sore throat and my stomach hates me. I got picked up at 10 though, but in the car I noticed how crappy I felt.
He offered to take me home, but I said no. I just want to count this as a day and do at least some work. I can always go home earlier. I would hate to lie back in bed early without having done anything.
We drove around first to get some cartridges for the printer and he dropped me off at  the studio.
My job was to print lables on the cds and I had to edit the brochure about  music and vocal lessons and add in extra information. The supervisor took over so I popped in some more disks to print.
The supervisor had to leave, but quickly folded the cd covers for me so I could put it in the cases.
I had to stay with the computer, pop one disk in. Shove in a booklet. Get an empty disk, pop out the disk and repeat. It actually takes long and isn't a fun process, but it's something that has to be done. 50 disks had to be ready!
After I was done I started working on thinking of a character for the immunity challenge for the Act it competition. I guess this also counts as work as I will need to think of a concept for a character (as a children's toy) and write my own lines. 1 intro, 2 greeting, 3 play with me line, 4 anything, 5 effort noise, 6 anything, 7 goodbyes.
I thought of a pirate, Arrr! Who will mention wanting to go find treasures and she is showing how obsessed she is. I also had to add in the pirate language. Now the challenge is to speak that accent o.O
Well I looked up some videos and did learn I have to overreact at the RRRRR sounds and have a gruffy sound. Also talk energetic and emphasize some words and vowels. The problem is it sounds so much better at a male voice than female. I'll try this out when I'm feeling better ^^  If this fails I have to think of a different character.

I held out until 3:30 at work and got brought home as the supervisor saw I wasn't feeling well. I immediately went to bed and slept for three hours! Did have nightmares and encountered so many different kinds of monsters from chainsaw guy to zombies chasing me and etc. Didn't feel much better while cooking but now I am a little more awake.
