LA

hello! i am in digital photo and there is absolutely nothing to do, so i will update! shocking, right? i am SO GLAD school is almost over. my classes are fine in themself, but i'm just kinda getting sick of going to school every day. it's getting kinda stressful. anyway, let's focus on something exciting!
last weekend i went to LA with my choir. imagine 5 choir girls in a van with my parents. it was AMAZING! so so fun. :) we got there late friday, and all saturday we worked with clinicians, musicians, and other choir members. the clinician was super nice and was from venezuela. she gave us advice on how to improve ouselves (aka SMILE FOR ONCE!!!) and then we went to watch the american boy choir. oh. my gosh. it's a all boys boarding school for grades 3-7 and none of their voices have changed yet, so they can sing sooo high. they were pretty amazing! i was so impressed. and jealous. i wish i could sing that high!
anyway, after that we went to a rhythm and dancing instructor named carlos... something? he was absolutely HILARIOUS. he taught us to seperate our body from our mind... the pat head rub belly type thing.
next, we had mass practice. oh man. it was NOT good. no one knew our part. but somehow, we managed through the performance and mi madre said we were good. i don't know how accurate that it. but whatever. we survived. fast forward to the actual concert -- the LA choirs were quite good, but one of the choirs... oh man. there were two amazing opera singers, but the rest of the choir was catastrophic. part of the thing was that it was small and they couldn't hold their parts. i felt bad... afterwards, we went to a restaurant called yang chow (after yang bee chow, our director :D) and stuffed our faces with chinese food and oranges. they also had very accurate fortune cookies. :)
it was a great trip, and the funniest part was that the car rides were the best part, we sang, we made up a story for 2 hours about purple pigs and aretha franklin and we made up a rap. and talked. a LOT. :)
of course!

oh and by the way my friend steven says hi! :)
