So this years trip wasn't all that good...k lets start at the beginning.

We get on the bus at 8...kinda have a stomach ache so I take a nap...the bus gave me a headache and my ipod is a piece of shit and it died within 45 minutes after being fully charged. About a half hour or an hour away from our scheduled tour...we smell something. Burning rubber...and not even just a little smell...I thought I was gonna pass out. So we look to the side of us and there's this truck driver with a lighter....he lit it and pointed to our tire and we could see his mouth saying "fire!" so we all freak out cuz we think our luggage is burning and the engine is gonna catch on fire and blow up so the bus driver pulls over and puts out the fire...we try to keep driving but we're lopsided (oh yeah the bus was brand new too) so we had to stop in Brooklyn and get the tire fixed...we waited in a McDonald's for about 2 hours...we finally leave and we miss our tour so we go to the hotel. We got all dressed up to go out to dinner and we got on the bus yet again. The drive into the city normally isnt very long, however we got stuck in traffic for 45 minutes...but not any kind of traffic...we literally didn't move one inch in that 45 minutes. We watched the sun go down from the same exct spot. we had to call the resteraunt and order our food from the bus. aaaghh! FINALLY we start moving very slowly, the whole bus cheers, and we get to the resteraunt "Bubba Gumps" and we are starving. We had the coolest waiter named Jim, I swear he was in theater or something...he would run back and forth...and he would have us all cheer when random people walked by, he threw straws at us it was awesome lol ANYWAY so I was doing my thing and balancing utensils on my nose and he come next to me real close and just stares at me...the fork fell and he says, "...do it again" so I do and he takes out his phone and takes a picture haha. He goes "that's my new background" and he goes to show all the teachers and parents it was hilarious lol. Sp we eat...I take multiple pictures as usual, and we go around the block to the show "Spamalot"...it was y second time seeing it but it was hilarious yet again hehe. We get back to the hotel and I talk to Sam for a while then pass the hell out. Wake up, eat a good breakfast, leave for Times square BUT FIRST! we HAD to stop at St. Patricks Cathedral to get ashes cuz it was Ash Wednesday, I didn't get them, I waited on the bus witha bunch of people, then we all went shopping in Times Square. We were hungry though so we went to Applebee's and our waiter barely spoke English...it took forever to get our food, I got some sauce spilt on me by some bitch waitress and she didn't even agknowlege that she did it...I was pissed...then our tab was imsanely expensive!...only about $178...yeah so we were in the resteraunt for most of the time and it was already 12:25 and we had to be at the theater for 1:45. We got out of there and went around shopping...I was having a real hard time breathing from all the smokers everywhere and I thought I was gonna pass out. With only about 20 minutes left before we had to be at the theater, we were in this gift shop and I was buying stuff for my parents so I go to the register and there's this little asian woman who had NO IDEA what she was doing! I gave her two things that were 10 bucks...and it took her 5 whole minutes to find out how much change to give me back...she would place coins on the table then take some back then put more there and I was like hello!!!! The same thing happened with Molly and she had to tell teh lady how many bills to give back...the lady actually asked where the number 97 was on the resiter...Molly's like press 9...then 7...shes like no where's the 97...ahhhhh!!! So we run to the theater and sit in our seats which were in front of a school of black annoying people...I'm not racist...but they were pissing me off....this girls laugh was like "AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! and she told me to sit my ass down cuz she couldn't see and i was like oh hell no...and I couldnt hear half the lines that were being said in the play and they were being so immature I couldn't stand it...I was glad to leave NY and finally just go home. So here I am...that's my story...tomorrow I'm going to Vermont.
