Nov 24th 2006 10:38PM You Couldnt Possibly Know Me Unless I Told You About......


If you know me, you know that my British heritage is very important to me, and that I am very proud of it. Ever since I can remember I have been visiting England, I even had my first birthday there. I have gone every year since I was born, and I have so many memories of being there. I feel like a part of me has actually grown up in England even though I have never actually lived there. When I was younger I loved to pretend I was from England by imitating my mothers accent, but when I did this in front of my Aunt and Uncle they would always laugh at me for how terrible it truly was. Still today I am quoted saying, Mummy can I have my sookies (sookies is how I thought British people said socks). Now when I go to England I like to immerse myself in the strikingly different culture. I love to listen to british radio and hear what music is popular, watch their television, read the magazines and do basic daily things like to go to the supermarket. This may not sound like it could be very different, but our supermarkets and theirs are worlds apart. The interesting thing about experiencing British media is that the same stuff always seems to end up in America after a few months. It makes me feel cool because I can say stuff like, I liked that band three months ago.
A great example of when I was able to fully experience England was last summer when I was there for almost two months. I spent my time staying with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins and my Grandparents, as my parents did not arrive until a month later. I was there so that I could not only spend time with my grandparents and cousins, but also so that I could go to sailing camp. At first I was extremely nervous because I had never been to British camp before, but after the first two days I was already making friends with the other kids my age. Then came a rainy day where we couldnt go outside and sail, so we went inside and to kill time we broke into teams and played a general knowledge game. Since I was not current on all the British history, they tried to accommodate by asking me questions about America. Calum, can you name all the fifty states? said my instructor Rufus. I started singing the Fifty Nifty song we had learned in second grade to remember all the states. Laughter erupted all around the room. They make you learn a song so you can remember all the states? my witty instructor asked.
Ya......I guess. I replied awkwardly
How American! he cried back. My team ended up winning the game because they gave us extra points every time I sang the song, and I must have sung that song at least a thousand times that day.
That was one of the best summers of my life, I got to experience so many new things, and I got to meet tons of new people. Many of my ambitions include England. For example, I would like to go to University in England, and then end up living there. I have many family and friend connections in England, and I defiantly feel at home there. You couldnt possibly know me unless I told you about England!
