Washington trip!
Our grade (8th grade) just came back from a trip to Washington. There were fifty kids, two buses, one for each gender, with televisions, (we drove there. That's eight hours.) and six teachers. We visited memorials, museums, and historical sites, and we had a great time. We left Sunday morning, and got there around 6 pm, and we left Wednesday morning, and returned around 9 pm. So here's my entry:
Washington was lots of fun. I'm home, I've got a pile of homework, I feel completely drained, and I REALLY wish we could've stayed in Washington longer. Much longer.... It's nice to have conversations with teachers not in school, without the fact that they test and grade you entering your mind once. It's nice to visit memorials and museums with an entire grade. It's fun to go to a baseball game with your classmates and be the only ones to cheer on Tampa Bay (for some reason I always root for the losing team...) And of course it's great to ride in a comfy bus for hours at a time, watching movies (good and bad ones) with all the girls and female teachers. Ugh, I really want to do that again. And we don't get to, until senior trip. Great....
Either way, I'll stop complaining, I'll try to cheer up, and I'll beg my parents to let me sleep in tomorrow. (Isn't it cruel! We have to go to school the next day!)
