Something that I did which was a waste of time was to go to Disneyland with my classmates. I remember that was a school outing activity. When I got in school bus, I feel also exciting like my all classmate, but when we arrive at that place, everything is change because we saw Disneyland has a lot of visitors. I thought we have to wait a lot of time and when I have a lot of expectations for the TRON ride, at that moment, my teacher told me that we don’t ride that today.  So my heart broken and I feel boring if I don’t ride that. After that when we get in the Disneyland, the teacher lead us to see that parade and I know I don’t like the parade and I never see that before. So i feel I waste a lot of time because i want to play some rides but the school not allow. The whole parade had one hour so I felt I waste one hour also.

Revised:
Something that I did which was a waste of time was when I went to Disneyland with my class. I remember that was a school outing and when I got in the school bus, I was very excited just like all my other classmates, but when we arrived, everything was not as I expected. I thought we would get to ride the TRON, because it is one of the most famous rides in there. However, the teacher told us that because of safety reasons, we would not be able to do so. And then my heart broke instantly. Then the teacher took us to see the parade which I thought was extremely boring because I have always hated parades and never wanted to actually see one in completion. So I stood there with my classmates on a beautiful day, instead of riding the rollercoasters, I wasted almost an entire day on parades and other activities that I did not enjoy. In all, I felt that this trip was a complete waste of my time.
