Mood: Energized
Hey guys! I'm back from Florida, in case you didn't gather that information from the title. I went to Universal Studios and Busch Gardens with the band and fellow orchestra students. :D I roomed with some friends with the trip, so I had a lot of fun.
I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios, too. I'm not the biggest fan, but the movies are fun to watch. :D One of my friends is a huge fan, so she was really excited. She couldn't decide what to buy at the souvenir shop. xD They were selling "butter beer" there (which I is a drink from the movies/books), but DISAPPOINTMENT: it's just cream soda with whipped cream on top. I don't think my friends had ever had cream soda before, because they were quite baffled with the flavor.
Surprisingly, I went on some roller coasters. I hate roller coasters... and it's not unusual for me to just sit and wait for an entire trip at an amusement park, the while others ride the coasters. I didn't want to be a complete party pooper this time around, though... xD I didn't want to ride anything that was more than 20 feet tall, though. ._____. The scariest roller coaster I rode was the indoor roller coaster based on The Mummy movie. WEHHH. I needed to channel my fear of roller coasters into one of my characters after that...
So now Stefan has developed an inability to ride roller coasters. Sorry Stefan.
(??? Idk, it's what I do. ;u;)
The weirdest thing about the trip was the award ceremony, though. Since it was an band/orchestra trip, we had to play a concert for it to be approved by the school. We competed against about 10 other schools. But for some reason, the band managers (who were mostly in charge of the trip) told us not to cheer loudly or scream at the award ceremony. I don't normally scream in the first place, but I know it's fun for other students to do that; it seemed like the right environment to cheer loudly, too. So I found it extremely weird that they wanted us to just sit quietly and clap. I wasn't angry so much as confused, but some of the orchestra kids were ENRAGED. They ended up cheering loudly anyway, for the orchestra director.
I think the worst thing though is now there's just going to be more conflict with the band and orchestra. ;A; I don't know why there's so much rivalry.
But anyway, we won the grand prize, yo! 8D So that's good.
And that's about all I have time to say. I need to study. :M
Oh, I'm also going away again... xD on Thursday. I'll have internet access, but I might be busy.
Have a nice day everyone! Be good, and stay safe! :)
