Hey guy! I am so happy to be back on the beautiful, and sunny island that we call home. But I miss Florida so much! On some parts of the trip I could not wait till we where back on the plane to Kauai, but now that we are back home I really really want to go back. They had so many new things to see, and do. We went to amusement parks, and theme parks, but that's not what we went up to do. After the fun and games it was four strait days of stressful, annoying, and tiring competition. The trip was hard and stressful, but even if some parts of the trips just made me want to cry and go home, I still would want to go back because even if some parts of the trip was not as fun as I expected for the most part of the trip it was the most fun I ever had.

Hey guys! Can you believe that our Cktv Florida trip has already passed, and it has been a week since we came back. Well I still cant believe it. So for all you soon to be new media students out there I have some advice for you. Now you all must be thinking, "What does this girl think that she knows everything, she has only been in media for one year." Well I know I have only been in media for one year but the competition, and all the help from my former partner Leanna, and the help of my classmates has helped me to better myself as a student, and also has made me better than how I started in the beginning. So now that I gave you some advice I hope you take it into consideration because I have learned my lesson and I hope that I don't make the same mistakes. I hope to see all of the new students Hey guys! Today was a happy, fun day, yet one of the saddest days of the trip! Today we stared our day by going to the closing ceremony. This was when we heard who placed for our competitions. It was very exciting, but sadly I knew that movie trailer would not place. But Cktv is taking home a total of five awards!! I was very excited to be part of a team that took home an award (broadcast sweet 16 team). Film sweet 16 team did an amazing job as well that's why I was so shocked that they didn't pace. Even if the movie trailer didn't place we could have use a lot more work, but it's ok because next year we can just pick our selfs up and try hard next year. Some people where blaming me for us not placing but I don't care because I am still kind of blaming myself. But I just want to say good job to all the teams that did place. And even if commercial didn't place ether there video was really good as well. After the closing ceremony we went to gartorland. Gartorland was lots of fun, we got to we huge gators, and go into a bird habitat, and see some really cool shows and stuff. After we went to gatorland we headed to an outlet mall some people went to downtown Disney, and some people went back to the hotel (well it was only the boys that wanted to go back to the hotel). The outlet mall was so much fun they had so many shops and it was so much cheaper than Kauai. Well I better get going. See ya! Hey guys! I can't believe all of our practice lead up to that. Wow! The movie trailer team finally did our real competition. It was so exciting, and difficult at the same time. We got the topic if FaceTime and that topic totally threw us off guard. I know I have said that about a few of our topics in the practice but I mean FaceTime it was the most difficult. So we started out and want to make it a horror film but then someone wanted to do a love story so the way that they presented it seemed pretty cool and seemed like we could do it. But honestly I think we would have done better with a horror film. So we started with Ysabel and Ben M but they couldn't act in love so we tried Micah and Ysabel, but Ysabel could not act in love, so we tried Alaysia and Micah but Alaysia didn't want to do it, so it ended up being me and Micah as the actors. So the story of the movie we did was in this weird world people are only allowed to talk through FaceTime, and these two people bump into each other and fall in love and they start seeing each other without FaceTime, and the government want to find them because they are not following the laws. We could have done so much better, like we should have shot some more stuff but we took like 1 hour and a half to think of our idea which means that we only had 1 hour and a half to shoot all the shots we need, and we got the editor to the editing room late. Well I have lots more to get ready for. See ya! Hey guys! Sorry that I have been behind on my blog updates, but I'm going to try not to fall behind. So today was the day before I had to compete with the movie trailer team. So for all the people that don't compete you have to go to these classes called breakout sessions. Today I went to a total of three breakout sessions. The first breakout session I went to The Voice with Alaysia, and Ysabel. We all found it very helpful, but not that interesting. Even if the class was not interesting it still helped us on our voice overs. After that we where walking down the hall to find another class we bumped into Ben B, and Brandon's pen pal. So we all went to the next class together. We all liked what this class was about on the sheet, but when we went in there we found out that it was the same teachers we where just with. But we wanted to learn about how to do our stand-ups so we went in anyway. That class was a lot more interesting than the other class we went to, and it actually helped us with our stand ups. Alaysia even got to try out a stand-up. Then when that class ended we went to our third and final breakout session. We went to the Les Rose, where he showed us different movies, and interviews. It was very interesting. After the last breakout session we went to a middle school mixer. It was fun we met lots of new people. After talking for a little while we had to breakup into group of 4-5 but the people in the group could not be from the same school. When I found an all girls group we where going to go see mr m for the paper but me and Justice where on the same team so I left the group because justice was in the group first. Then another group asked me to be in there group so I went with them. Th bad thing was that they where an all boys group, but I joined them anyway because the point of the middle school mixer was to meet new people,so I did. After the middle school mixer was over we went to a showcase. It was lots of fun and a Cktv video even got played. It was Ben B, Brandon, and Micah's video on the friendship house. Well I better get going I have lots to catch up on. See ya! Hey guys! This must sound so sad, but that was the last day of our CKTV Florida adventure. So we had to make sure that we spent the day right. So first we stared out by going to Magic Kingdom. The first thing we did at Magic Kingdom was go on a ride. The first ride we went on was called Space Mountain. I sat out on this ride because we just ate, and I wanted to check out the shot next to the ride for any last minuet shopping. So me Nicole, and I went over to the shop, and I got a hat for my cousin. After we looked around for a bit the students started to come off the ride in groups, and when everybody was finally off of the ride so many people started telling us that it was very lame! So after that ride we headed down to this train like roller coaster. This one I went on. Me and Ben M where freaking out before we even got on the ride! We must have looked so weird because there where like little three year old kids coming off of the ride! So when we finally got on the ride it was actually really lame. I cant believe I freaked out over that! So after that ride we moved on to a haunted house ride. It was sort of scary me and Justice freaked out at some parts, the thing that scared me the most was when Saul, and Alaysia grabbed my arm and scared me. I actually wanted it to be more scary because of who they kept their character and the setting that they made was so scary that I thought that the ride was going to make us scream our heads off. I could tell that some other people where getting scared before we even went on the ride! So after that ride lots of people started to get hungry, even if people where not hungry they still bought food (like me). So since I was not that hungry, and Javlynn, and Alaysia didn't think that they would eat that much we all shared a turkey leg. It was so big! After like a minuet of eating it we got so sick of eating it! So we went to get coke float things to help us wash down the turkey leg. It took Ben B, Ben M, Alaysia, Javlynn, and me to eat that turkey leg, and yet we didn't finish it. I have no clue how people can eat their own. After e ate we went on a Stich ride. It was so cool, some parts where sort of gross but in all the ride was fun. After we went on the went on a car race track ride. The car ride was one of my favorite because me and Javlynn rode in the same car she steered, and I pressed the pedal, and we where swerving all over the track! it was so much fun because we made a really funny video. Then we went shopping for any last minuet things that we needed to get. And the last thing we did on our last day of Florida fun was go on Splash Mountain. I was so scared to go on that at first I don't know why though because I went on that water ride at Jurassic Park, and that ride was higher that Splash mountain. and that was such a little kid ride in the beginning but as the music got happier I got so much more scared. But when the drop was finally over it was so much fun I wanted to do it again. Well time f
Hey guys! Yesterday was such a long day! It was the first day of our competition. We where competing in the sweet 16 competition. The broadcast team was broken up in to four groups. The people in the group with me where Halle, and Saul. As a team I think we really need to try to work harder, and better together as a team. Yesterday did not fell like a team job. I don't know about the rest of the group but everybody cried at least twice because of stress, and frustration. Me and Halle where editors. The good news is that we finished the whole broadcast, and film team finished on time! Yesterday was so stressful I can do good under pressure but that was very difficult people where crying, and yelling, and fighting I can't believe how hard that was compared to the practice sweet 16. I think one more practiced would have helped us lot! I better of get ready I have to go to break out sessions today. See ya! Hey guys! Let me tell you a few of the happy things that happened. So one of the good things about was that we got to go meet our Florida Penpals. My pen pal was really nice. At first I could not find my pen pal, then while I was waiting in line for a game these two girls walked up to me and asked for Micah. So while I am bringing them to Micah I asked if they knew my pen pal Taylor, and it just so happened that the girl that was with Micah's pen pal was my pen pal. They wanted to meet up later but we didn't get the chance to see them again. Another good thing about yesterday was that we got to go play laser tag. Lasted tag was lot of fun even if we didn't get to run, crouch, or sit. After that we went to the ropes course above the game room. I don't like heights but that was really fun. Alaysia freaked out because she doesn't like heights ether. But the thing that topped off my day was shopping. We also moved out of the houses. I liked the houses because there where more rooms, and we had a GAME ROOM! All of Cktv had lots of fun hanging out and spending time together in the houses. So in all it was a good day. See ya! Universal Studios Part 2 Hey guys! Today we went to Universal Studios and it was so much fun! Today we did not start our day off with a tour. We reach Universal around 8:30. This was hard for Aunty Lynda's group because all but Dalson woke up at 7:45! So today we started our second day at Universal with a simulator ride with the minions. Then we went to transformers ride. It was another simulation ride, and just to say it was so much better than the Spider Man ride we rode yesterday. After the Transformers ride we went one a mummy ride. I really did like that ride it was my least favorite ride! On the ride I screamed my head off! I was so quiet at the end because I was trying not to cry. All my friends told me that it was a simulation ride but it WAS NOT!!!! It was a supper dark, supper fast, lots of drops, and turns kind of ride!! So after we went on that ride we went on the MIB ride. It was sort of like the Toy Story ride where we have targets and we shot guns at them. It was not as fun as toy story. The next ride we went on was a rocket roller coaster ride. I didn't go on that one because it was so high to get up there they strap you into the seat and you go strait up! After the rocket ride we went to the Simpsons simulator ride. That ride was not very fun it just made me dizzy! After the playground we went to lunch some people went to go eat and some people like me went to go eat lunch. After lunch we met back up with the other groups at the Harry Potter Island back at the other park. Then we headed to another water ride some students went on but I didn't want to get soaking wet so i stayed with some other student who didn't want to get soaked as well and we got to shot the people on the ride with water blasters. Micah and Ben M found a blaster that if you put a quarter in then u get 10-15 shot instead of one shot one quarter. Then we went to city walk to go and eat dinner. So that pretty much all that happened today. Well I better get some rest because tomorrow we have laser tag with our pen pals from both of the middle school. I need to get as much rest as possible because this is finally how I am gonna prove that I am good at call of duty because all the guys think that they can beat me, not saying that I'm a pro or anything like that I just want to prove that I can play. Well time to sleep. See ya! Universal Studio Wet and Watery! Hey guys! Today was put first day at Universal Studios, and it rained a lot! Even if it rained I still had lots of fun! Today we started our day off with a tour. We left the house at 7:30am. We had two tour guides today. We rode three rides today, The amazing adventures of Spider Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Jurassic Park River Rapids. The first ride was The amazing Adventures of Spider Man. We went on that ride twice. The first time we rode that ride we rode it with the lights on and no 3D glasses so that we could see all of the sets and see how the ride was made and worked. The second time we rode the ride we had the lights off and we got to wear 3D glasses and let me just say even I knew how the ride worked the ride still felt really it still felt like we where falling. That ride was like a simulation ride and it was tons of fun. The next ride we went on was called The Incredible Hulk. I sat that ride out because there where so many loops. I heard it was fun. The ride went from 0-40 in 2 seconds and then that went into a loop. Then the last ride we rode on the tour was called Jurassic Park River Rapids. I loved that ride it was a tour of the dinosaurs then we go through a warehouse looking thing and we go on an 85ft drop it was so cool and I didn't really get wet. After that our tour was finished and we went to go to the Harry potter ride. The ride was sort of like a simulator I got so scared at some part and then some parts felt so real. After the Harry potter ride we went to another roller coster with lots of big loops and turns. Then we went cactus to get an awesome drink called butter beer. It tasted like a short bread cookie and a butterscotch together. Then we rode a few more rides and went home because there was so much rain. We stayed at mr m's house till dinner then went to a chicken restaurant. Me justice and Ben b didn't want to eat there so we went to a pizza buffet with Mr. M, Micah, Saul, Ben M, then when we were done eating we got to go play arcade games. Then we went to supper target. And we got home around 10. See ya! |
