I'm awake?
Well I've gotten 5 hours of sleep the past 2 nights (from 3 am - 8 am) why you might ask? Well...
Thursday afternoon, we all boreded the busses to go to Springfield, Mass. for the Great East Festival. We all expected to stop to eat and go to the mall at 5:30, arrive at the hotel at 9. We sat anxiously, awating the pulling away from the school of the busses. 15 minutes, eh, what's 15 minutes hurting? 30 minutes, you know, we were supposed to leave a half hour ago you guys. 45 minutes I'm hungry. An hour MOVE THIS BUS NOW! We sat in the parking lot for an hour, doing what, I don't really know. We finally got underway. We drove to Portland, where we fuddled around with dropping my band teacher off and having him get back on several times. We were now an hour and a half be hind schedule. And then we met the shooter.
Heading down I-95, we met complete standstill of traffic. One bus was in the lane closest to the meridian, and the other bus was on the side closest to the woods. We all had no idea what was going on. Mr. Burditt got out and talked to a truck driver who had radioed ahead. A man about 3 miles up had been pulled over for speeding. They then started shooting at the cops. About 45 minutes later, our bus was able to make a U-turn, but the other bus was trapped in the traffic jam.
Well after that excitement, we took some back roads and tried to get on the bus a little further up, by this time it's 8:00. We get to the interstate, only to find out it's closed off up there too. Now the chaperones have a bus full of very hungry teenagers who are about 2 hours away from where they were supposed to eat. So at 9 we stopped to eat. Got underway again at 10. Took back roads to the boarder which took a long time. We got to the hotel at 1:30. 1:30 AM! WITH A 8:00 WAKE UP CALL! So much for 9, lights out at 10. I don't think they even put the tape on our doors, no one had the energy to sneak out.
The next morning it was really warm and we went down and got our free breakfast, and then went to the festival at 10:30. We got Gold! The only Group from our school to get platinum was the Fiddlers

SIX FLAGS!
The first ride I went on was
THAT! You do it forwards and then backwards!
