New York City baby!
So where to start...well before we even left, one of the buses broke down, so we were delayed. which i found actually rather funny. but it didn't take long, and then we were off! the ride there wasn't as bad as i thought it would be actually, probably because it was sort of divided in half, and we had movies too. i actually think i was awake for the entire ride there. the hotel was ok, it was sort of falling apart in some areas i noticed, and the breakfast they served sucked, like a lot. Saturday was sooo great, i loved almost every second of it. after a really gross and small breakfast, we went to Weehawken for a lunch cruise, which i found a bit funny because we went from breakfast to go to lunch...but anyway! after we got like loaded on the yacht it was shakey which made me feel sick to my stomach, but when we got moving it was good. they played music and after a while we were finally allowed to dance. i danced a little, but i had never seen new york, or the harbor so i spent most of my time on the front looking at the shoreline. it was strange seeing New Jersey and New York City at the same time. We passed the Statue of Liberty which was sooo amazing to see. one of the captains also pointed out Ground Zero, I was glad we didn't see that up close. Oh then after that, on the way back to the hotel, our dumb ass bus driver got lost, so we were late getting back to the hotel, so we got back, and then had to leave for practice. we practiced in a really nice park, it was soo pretty there! we also attracted an audience, there was a grandmother with her grandkids, and a lot of other random people that stopped to watch us, they seemed impressed because they stayed. one guy stayed through the entire thing. then we went back to the hotel after practice and then went to Giants Stadium to perform. We were later told by the parents that it was our best performance yet, and looking at the scores, we seem to always be improving, so YAY! we placed 3rd in our division out of 6 other schools, how awesome is that? we trailed for 2nd by like a point or two. ESM and L'Pool were there too, they played in a different division though, they both did amazing. The best overall performance was Imaculetta High School and another high school, I saw Imaculetta's show, it was really cool. The next day was the day we got to go to Time Square. Wow, it was sooo impressive being down there, it made me feel so, I don't know, something. Like I wanted to be a part of all of the action, and that I was part of it all. And seeing all those things we see on t.v. live was even cooler. oh! and on the way to the Blue Man Group show we saw the Will and Grace building! how frekin cool is that? The Blue Man Group show was wiicked cool by the way, but I was a bit disappointed that I didnt get any paint on me. Then we went home...yeah there's more details but i'd be here forever. i'm glad i went, and i wish we had more time to spend there because there's so much unseen. i really, really hope i can get back there some day. i also looved that i got to spend lots of time with dave on the bus that made me happy. it sounds a bit silly, but we were on that frekin bus a lot, so we got our bonding time in. i really wish i could go back there and just stay there. i dont want to go back to school tomorrow. going back means everything goes back to the way it was, hell. when i came home yesterday, shit came back. it was so nice to get away and be with my friends! hopefully tomorrow will be a good day, but eventually it'll go back to being sort of shitty because that's how this school year has been for me so far, basically shit.
