While
we were passing Gilroy, we started watching “Finding Nemo”. After a while, I realized that I could watch
TV! Usually, I get carsick when I watch
TV in the car, but now I’m not. 45
minutes later, we arrived at our first bus stop, a place in the middle of
nowhere that has a McDonalds. When I
went off to use the bathroom, I realized that the place was super windy, and it
smelled like cow manure. When we finally
got on the bus, we saw lots of tumble weed (they are these twigs growing
together that rolls over land). Our second bus stop was at the Getty
Center. It is a museum that displays
many artworks and sculptors. 2 hours
after we left Getty Center, there was a big sigh of relief as the bus pulled
into the Hilton parking lot. We had a
short rehearsal, then I finally fell asleep around 10:30 pm.
The
next day, I felt super tired. It was the
day we were going to perform. After breakfast, we had a long rehearsal in the
cafeteria, and Mrs. Kwok told us the things we needed to remember while on
stage. A few minutes later, we were all
on the bus and heading towards the performance place. When we arrived there, I was a little
confused, because I thought that we were performing in Disneyland. When I was walking into the theater, my mind
was thinking about my parents’ feedback from the pre-trip performance. On stage, it felt awesome performing in front
of the judges. After we sang, a judge
came up on stage and told us how we did.
He pretty much said that everything was good. After lunch, we went to a cathedral. It was really beautiful, like it was made out
of crystal, and the bathrooms were so pretty!
It looked like the bathrooms in a mansion. Beside the cathedral there was a steep grass
hill. It was cool running up and down
the hill. At night, we had an award
ceremony in Disneyland. At first when
they announced that Crystal Choir won a gold, I was a little confused, because
that could mean another Level 3 choir in Crystal Choir might have won a gold,
but after the show, Elizabeth said that we won a gold trophy. I finally slept at around 12:15pm.
On Sunday, we checked out of the hotel early in the morning.
We did this so that we could play at Disneyland. We played until 12:00 pm.
Then, we ate lunch at Hungry Bear’s restaurant. At 1:00 pm, we stopped at the
exit for my mom to pick me up.
6 days later, I woke up really excited, because we were
going to get our trophy! I never had a trophy in my life before, and now I am
getting one! Around 5:15 pm, Mrs. Kwok and 鄭老師 awarded us our
trophies. I felt really proud holding mine. I couldn’t wait to show my
grandparents my trophy. After all, it
was a super awesome trip.
