Oh my gosh! Guess what!!!! In only 2 days we'll be in California!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!! (that was a happy scream, by the way) I am SOO excited! This is trip is definitely gonna be the highlight of my school year! Everything planned sounds amazing, and I'm sure they all will be, but there are a few events that really stand out to me and I can't wait to do. Read on to find out what they are!

Okay so I have to be honest, one of the events that I am really looking forward to the most is going to Six Flags. I just can't help myself... I love roller coasters! So of course, I am SUPER excited about the roller coasters, and I'm also excited to spend time with my pal (even though I still didn't get an email back from her yet :( ) But overall, a day at Six Flags for me is a dream come true, and it's definitely something I'm looking forward to!

Another event that I'm really excited about is getting to watch an episode of "Shake It Up" being filmed. I was always excited about this event, but I'm especially excited after Mr. M invited a speaker (I can't remember his name at the moment) to talk to our class about all that happens on the set. It really is amazing! There are so many different people all with different jobs working to make a production, and it's very important that every person does their job correctly. It's kind of like the morning announcements, except on a more advanced level. But anyways, the speaker also shared that usually "Shake It Up" doesn't allow people to watch the filming, so it's a real privilege to be able to. I can't wait to see all the actors and actresses, the sound people, the camera people, and just the whole crew in action!

Finally, the number one event that I'm looking forward to is the STN Convention. I mean, isn't the convention the whole reason why we're going on our trip? The whole reason we fundraised super hard? The whole reason we devoted our weekends or Friday's to practice for it? Well, from what I've heard, it is. And I've also heard that it's amazing to be a part of and a wonderful experience. If students who've competed in it past years would rather go back to that than to Japan it has to be something special, right? Anyways, I'm just really looking forward to competing, and hopefully even winning! (Wish us luck!)

In conclusion, you can see that I am very excited for the trip. Every event is going to be amazing, as it is a huge honor and privilege to be able to go to California, but going to Six Flags, getting to see an episode of "Shake it Up" being filmed, and competing in the STN are events that really stand out to me. I'll make sure to keep you posted about what's going on once in the "golden state"!
