that pretty much sums it up. it kind of sucked. why? you'll soon find out...

{ day 1 - thursday }
alarm went off at 5:30 am. slammed on the clock to make it shut up. finally pried myself off the bed at 6:00 or so, did stuff with contacts / washed up, pulled some crap together for breakfast, and left at roughly 6:30 with a backpack and small luggage bag. arrived at school at almost 7:00, sat around with roommates (Brett, David, Peter) for 45 minutes. then we boarded the coach bus, heading for Annapolis, MD (we were bus #6, and it was crazy but still fun). 2-3 hour ride to Annapolis, watched Spiderman and Spiderman 2 on the way and talked. then, at Annapolis, we ate lunch, toured the U.S. Naval Academy there and the city in general. boring as hell - pretty much all we did was walk around and half-listen to the tour guide. after wearing our shoes out on the uneven brick of the old section of town, we re-boarded the buses and headed to Arlington National Cemetery. here, we not only saw some of the 260,000 graves there, we also witnessed the Changing of the Guard / Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier(s). that was a little more interesting than Annapolis, but the problem was that it was pouring and i left my jacket in the bus. so i got soaked (my shirt changed colors) as we stood watching. after this escapade, we departed the cemetery and headed to H20 Restaurant for a dinner, if you could call it that. a buffet with about 6 seperate items total for about 200 kids (from buses #6 through #10) = CRAP!!! barely ate anything there. moving on, our group visited a long succession of memorials & monuments, including Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, etc. in pitch-black darkness and rain. of course, it was kind of hard to appreciate and respect the dead veterans with aching feet, soaked bodies, empty stomachs, and mental problems, but respect we did (i think). finally, at some unknown time, we dragged our worthless carcesses back to the bus and headed to the Hilton for some well-deserved rest, dividing into our groups of four and stumbling into our rooms. inside, we showered and cleaned up (at least, some of us did), and started cooking up some of the infamous Shit Cups i brought (don't ask if you don't know), spending at least fifteen minutes figuring out how to work the American coffeemaker so we could boil up some water. besides this, we watched some documentary about hookers on HBO (there wasn't that much, actually), talked, and attacked each other for fun. sleep was put off until 12:30 or so, which we would regret the next morning.

{ day 2 - today }

rising at 6:00 am, falling out of our beds, and stumbling into the walls, we managed to pull it together, pack up and clean up, then head down to the hotel's breakfast. then the touring resumed, as we took a short bus ride before getting off to view the White House, Capitol Hill, etc. finally, we stopped at two Smithsonian Museums - Natural History and Air & Space. those were all right, I guess, but no wapiti (again, don't ask). also, while sitting around outside the Air & Space Museum, a girl I didn't even know walked up and asked me for my phone number. given my sadistic, I-don't-care personality, you can probably guess that I said no. but that was probably the most interesting part of the day. nothing else really happened. at all. we boarded the buses and headed home at 2:00 pm. on the way home, we watched Friday Night Lights and Spaceballs. being on the bus was better than the actual trip. sad...anyway, we stopped about halfway home at a rest stop to eat. finally, we arrived back (late) at 7:30 pm. since my parents were also late as usual and I was wandering around searching for them, I borrowed Nick's cell (mine is broke), got them to pick me up, and went home.

yeah. so the trip wasn't that great. in fact, the best parts were the bus rides and time in the hotel - where there was just time to chill and hang out. given the choice, I WANT MY $240 BACK!!! but that's just me, the asian.

but, I have 3 parties coming up, and spring break is just around the corner. I guess it gets worse before it gets better.
