Do Something Social Boot Camp & Awards

July 17th - Do Something Social Bootcamp
Compared to this year, I think I learned more from last year. Nonetheless it was a great and beneficial experience. Going to four sessions I learned how to turn my ideas into action. I also saw Angela from SAT so it was a reunion. Esther and Ron fell asleep in the political activism workshop -_-;; but I understand because it was a long, draining day. After the Do Something Social Boot Camp we went to a Westfield mall because no one could pick us up. We went to the food court but did not buy anything because everything was so expensive (well duh, it's Los Angeles Avenue of the Stars). So we stayed in a book store the whole time...I also fell asleep while reading a book. Felt like forever to get a ride home but my mom finally ended work and picked us up. We started the day at 9:00 a.m. in Los Angeles and went home around 10:00 p.m. We spent almost 13 hours in L.A. but I think it was worth it.

July 19th - Do Something Awards aired on VH1
The day started normally. I went to the OC Register until 2 pm when my mom picked me up. Ron, Jo, and Ysabel were all waiting at my house while my mom and I had to pick up Esther. We drove to the Metro station and bought our tickets. Its been forever since I've ridden the metro. I used to ride it almost everyday last summer, which was why I was really lost and confused when we finally got on board. I sort of panicked when I forgot the names of the stops. But luckily I was not alone and was with four friends :) Felt like forever to get there; three stops; an hour and a half. When we finally got there we were excited to get our tickets at the Hollywood Palladium. It was scorching hot but we stayed in line till 4:30 when they finally opened the doors. Somehow Jo managed to sneak Jared (my camera) in but Ysabel & Esther got caught so they had to hold it. We found out we had to stand the whole time...and our view was on top. Even though my feet ached the whole time I still got to see Megan Fox, Snoop Dogg, Joe Jonas, and Demi Lovato. The performers included Bruno, Lifehouse, and Natasha Bedingfield. After the show we walked to Dennys and ate. The day was so tiring and finally Ysabel's parents picked us up. The awards show wasn't as fun as last year's Do Something Power of Youth Party but it was still a good experience!
