Ok so I have a LOT to talk about my Cali trip and I'm going to have to separate it into days lol, but here goes

♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬♬

Day 1:  Ok well that started out with getting up at 3 AM to get to the airport.. I was soooo tired I really did not want to go at that time but once I was in the car I was excited!!  We finally got there met with everybody and got through security etc. (I ALMOST LOST MY FREAKING BOARDING PASS! :O I NEARLY HAD A PANIC ATTACK!!)  anyways I hate the security scans now because they are very intrusive... I mean I don't care all that much, better safe than sorry but I don't want them looking at our bodies.. and the other option is a pat-down.. awkward.. anyways we boarded the plane eventually and I sat by these two guys.. one of them which turned out to be a perv later in the trip... moving on.. I later switched and sat by Peedunkey and yeah it was a nice ride, it was so stupid though, you had to pay 8 bucks for movies, when I usually fly on airlines they're already free!! WTF??

Anyways, we got to Los Angeles got our baggage and met our tour leader, she was nice.. but I don't think she was the greatest tour guide lol, anyways the bus was bright blue colored.. it was weird.. but it was temporary we got a better bus the next day!  Ok, so back to the trip stuff.  We went to Universal Studios and first did the tram tour which was sooooo cool!!  We saw cars from different movies, sets, etc. including the water part from the movie Big, Fat, Liar!  My favorite part was the 3-D King Kong part of it, omg it was AWESOME! It really felt like we were watching King Kong fight these velociraptors.. or T-Rex.. or both I don't remember what dinosaur it was completely, but they were fighting and when they jumped over our tram thing we were squirted by water so it looked like drool came out of their mouths it was epic!

After the tour, basically three of my friends and I explored Universal Studios!  I think the first ride we went on was the Jurassic Park ride.  Before I go on, I need to say, that before this trip, I was freaked out of roller coasters, thanks to them I'm not as much anymore.. the Jurassic Park was a water ride but they still needed to convince me.. especially when I read "84-foot-drop" ... yeah..  Anyways we went on that and seriously each time the boat went up I thought "Oh sh** this is it.." but no it wasn't it was a tiny drop and then I was like "seriously.. was that it?"  And it did that again, a little bit bigger but not much and then I thought they were exaggerating but no of course we got to this one part and then I was like "OH CRAP THEY WERE BUILDING UP TO THE FINAL DROP OMG NO NO NO NO NO" and of course there was a count down to make it worse.. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....... TYRANNOSAURUS REX COMES OUT (which actually wasn't that scary.. but still added on to it) AND WE FALL OMG ALL MY INSIDES LITERALLY WENT UP AND I LET OUT THIS LOW PITCHED SCREAM! IT WAS SO WEIRD!! afterwords we were laughing hysterically and went again lol, after that we went to the mummy ride.. which when I heard high speed roller coaster (later I realized all of them said that.. probably so they won't get sued) I didn't go on it.. but when they were done, they said it wasn't that bad so I went on it when my friends went a second time.. and of course kept my eyes closed and I felt it go really fast! and then backwards! and they were right it wasn't that bad.  Yeah this is the park where I start kind of forgetting a lot of what happened... umm so I know later we went and ate at the jurassic cafe we all bought pizza hut pizza and rose and I split on a chocolate chip cookie fill brownie which was sooooo good!  Later on we explored everything the gift shops, (I bought a scooby doo stuffed animal at this cartoon gift shop thing!) and i got a squished penny scooby doo for my brother!  Two of my friends went into the haunted house and they got out saying it was terrifying!

We went on the Simpsons ride some time after that and IT WAS THE MOST EPIC ROLLER COASTER SIMULATOR EVER!!!!!!!! WE WENT ON IT TWICE IT WAS SOOOO COOL!! but after the second time I felt kind of dizzy lol.  I guess that's about it for universal studios.. oh wait! We also ran through every water fountain we saw!  Ok not all of them, but a lot! :D  And at the end when we left, we walked through the "city walk" portion outside which was pretty cool and we spent most of our time at this one shop, which i didn't buy anything in the end, but they did, harry potter cups and star wars items!

After universal studios we had time to get our hotel rooms rest a little bit and went to medieval times!  It's basically this Knight show while we eat with our hands.  Everyone got the same meal too, there wasn't an option, the only thing I ate was the chicken and the garlic bread and some of the tomato stuff with pepsi.  the spare rib was kinda nasty.. and I usually love rib!  Anyway there was a story plot and etc. etc... I didn't really enjoy it because of the horses.. I mean they weren't abusing them or anything I guess.. but just some of the tricks I didn't really approve of them.. and our knight sucked.. it was actually funny, he was the most cheezy one and was the first one that lost! lmao!  and yeah that was about it for day 1 we later went back to our hotel rooms, took showers and went to sleep!! and now...

Day 2: We got up dressed in our black concert attire and went to perform at this high school.  It's HUGE I thought it was a hotel at first!  A lot of music groups came during the day and performed to be judged by these.. two guys, I forgot who they were, but they were what I would describe as music nerds... I swear they kept talking into these microphone things while people performed which was REALLY annoying and they even did this strange laugh once.. like a snorting nerdy one.. (by nerd I mean like the ones on tv..) and yeah, and after wards we went to.. DISNEY LAND but I'm going ot honestly say right now, that I think I like universal studios better, not that there was anything wrong with disney I just.. idk, I guess it was made more for little kids, still for older people too.. but.. I mean I still loved it, it was a LOT of fun but I just like the other one better.  Anyways, the first ride we went on was Space Mountain.. and I was really nervous because this was going to be the second time I went on a roller coaster..

So we stood in the line for about 40 min and when we finally got there, I was just like "I'm probably going to hate you guys after this.." and when we finally got on the ride and it was made all cool and futuristic and we started going up... and up..and then I thought there was going to be a steep drop just like in the jurassic park ride but thankfully there wasn't, it went super fast and it was all dark with stars everywhere and it was AWESOME, and the rest I don't remember what order we went on rides but I know we went on the matter horn bobsleds (unfortunately we went on the boring side, which wasn't that bad, just not very thrilling, and not the exciting side, they don't really tell us which line if for what and after we were done the other line was waaay to long) we went on the runaway rail road which was super fun!   We went on that like three to four times all together because the line was never long for that and it was awesome!  At one point we ate at tomorrow land and the hamburger was really good! and we watched the jedi training stuff going on for kids 12 and under and yeah, eventually rose and I went on the haunted mansion ride which wasn't scary but it was fun! the effects were really cool!  We then went to the tiki show (for little kids but our orchestra teacher wanted us to come there to sing on the top of our lungs and scare little kids!  You should've seen the looks everyone gave us!)

Sometime before that we also went to it's a small world ride.. it was fun and we also sang obnoxiously there too.. but it wasn't as fun because we were separated from our group members which really sucked.. the older kids in our group cut us and one of us four went with them.. so we got left over on a different boat.. which really sucked.. anyways, the ride was pretty cool.  Oh gosh.. I really should've blogged on my ipod and sent it later because I'm starting to forget a lot of stuff.. umm we ate churros in between.. oh and we went on this one ride.. (probably more for little kids) it was just rockets going round and round and there was a switch that made the rocket go up and down, but of course, (ok to make this easier for me and still not mention names, I'm going to use F (as in friend) F1, F2, F3, and me lol.  F1 and F2 didn't realize there was a switch and they went up all the way to the top and didn't know there was a switch while I noticed right away!  It was hilarious!  Umm later on we saw the fireworks show which was amazing!  Oh, before that we went to the California adventure park and went to the Hyperion theather to get our awards with all the other music groups, it was sooo cool!  And our group got 1st place in our category!! (high school orchestra!)  It was soo cool!!!

and afterwords, we went on the tower of terror... yeah that one scared me the most, omg.. it wasn't that bad but I closed my eyes the whole time..  The thing was we were strapped to seat belts and the guy told me to f-ing HOLD my bag but in my head I was like, "h*ll no, I'm not holding my bad, I want to hold the bars next to me!!" So I ended up holding the bag.. kind of with my head... I don't know how it worked out.. but in the ride you go up all the way to the top and the thing opens so you see how high you are!!  Omg.. I didn't open my eyes but I felt the air blow at me!  :O  and yeah that's about all I can remember for Saturday..we went back to the hotel after wards and fell asleep.. did I mention during this trip my throat hurt sooooo bad! D:

Day 3: This day was kind of our relaxing day, you know not to much going on.  We got into our bus and basically toured around Hollywood and Beverly hills (well we didn't actually go into Beverly hills because apparently they don't allow tour buses in there anymore.. I forgot the reason though..  Anyways.. there was more to it, but I already forgot a lot of it.. but later we went to Santa Monica because and we had a lot of fun with everyone.. especially when we were throwing sand at each other and digging a hole (for what reason I don't know)  We later buried F2's legs in sand and then F1 knocked her over!  We all went to the mini amusement park thing on the dock and looked around the shops and F1 and I got these good smoothie things at a coffee shop!  And then we rushed back to our bus..

We went to a John pizza place... which was basically a buffet.. but it was like another version of chuck e. cheeses so we didn't get much out of it besides the food, but we did go on this spinny thing, I thought it would make me puke, but it actually wasn't bad at all disappointingly.  And yeah then I spent the rest of my credits trying to get stuffed animal out of a crane machine.. it failed....  and yeah then we went back to the hotel and F2 and I went swimming!  It was so refreshing after that day!  and yeah then on our last day...

Day 4: This day made me sad.. because it was our last day!! :/ but we back to Disney land and everyone's first priority was to go on the California scream, which I don't even think that was the actual name anymore.. but the first time I chickened out.. and I asked F1, 2, and 3 if they would go on it again, if it was fun.  And they said yeah, so I waited for them to go, and it looked scary when they did it.. but they said it was like the other roller coasters, so I went and it was fun!  But I screamed a lot and I was also screaming, "F**k you all!!!, F**K YOU ALL!! I'm not even kidding.. and when I closed my eyes it didn't even feel like we went upside down!!  After that ride, we went on the Indiana Jones one which I thought would be more thrilling, but it wasn't, it was cool though! with all the effects and stuff!

We also went to the train one again, and ate churros, and that's about it, I can't think of any other rides right now.  After we were done with Disney land/California adventure park we got into our concert attire and performed two of our own songs and arrangements of Disney songs in Disney land!!!  It was awesome!!  and then we went behind the scenes to a studio and recorded our music and added it on to animations for movies instead of the original soundtrack!  It was so cool!  And after that we went back the the airport and we had to part with F1, she's still in Cali, visiting family and stuff, and we got on the plane! I sat by this one guy, and we talked a lot and then fell asleep and eventually we were all back home!  Usually after camp, I'm kind of depressed that everyone went home and it's all over.. I felt the same way after the trip!  It was awesome!
