Yesterday, I had to wake up at 5am to go to Riverside for Science Olympiad. The day before I was still doubting myself if I should go or not, but I was glad that I went. I didn't compete, but I went there to support my teammates and see if we would win any awards for the sounds of music event that my friends and I made. It was a really long day and I ate a lot of food. :D Even though I didn't compete, I was still nervous for our team. Nervous if they did well, if they will win any medals, if the items we built would be worth the time and effort. But most of all, I was worried about the percussion and flute we built. My friends and I dedicated our time to complete those instruments. About an hour or two before the music event, my two friends that are going to play it weren't even ready. They said they were just going to flow with the music and hopefully pretend to know what they are doing. It was really nerve-wrecking, but after hearing their performance, I thought they did pretty good. :] During the award ceremonies, everyone was all loud and cheerful. My friend thought we weren't going to win anything for sounds of music, but we got SECOND PLACE ! I was really surprised and excited. I mean, when do I rarely ever win a medal for something I take part of building? It was one of the happiest moments, EVER. That feeling of an unexpected achievement made everything paid off. I definitely want to compete next year. It was worth the time and effort. When it was between Great Oak and Etiwanda for who gets first and second place for overall score, WE GOT FIRST ! I really thought we were going to get second since Etiwanda has been getting first place the previous years and that the host was looking our way when he was about to announce second place. Overall, we won over 50 medals and first place for regional !
After we got back home around 7:30pm, one of my friends planned to have an unexpected party at Jasmine's house. I drove by myself for the first time ! It felt good. :D Went there to play some games, but I got tired and went home around 10:30pm. I came home, watched television, and soon fell asleep. It was a really good day. :D
