OK, let me start out by saying that I am about ready to go and hurt someone after the day I've had.
Today was the day of our field trip to Washington DC. We were to go there and do a scavenger hunt using everything we've learned this year as help.
We were all excited to go because it sounded fun and all the 8th graders kept telling us we would have an awesome time.
WORST FIELD TRIP EVER!
First thing that irked me was that the questions were HARD!
The second thing that irked me was how we had to keep walking from one end of the mall to the other.
The third thing that drove me over the edge was the fact that it was SOOOOOOO HOT!
So, finally, at 2:00 we leave on the buses for our 1-hour drive back to our school.
As we are driving down the highway near Reston (25 minutes away!) it starts to pour. Out of the blue, sheets of rain are pouring down from the sky.
Chaos ensues.
Everyone is rushing around trying to get their windows shut so as to not get soaked.
Lightning and thunder are exploding every two seconds adding another lot of noise to the bus.
Then, our bus driver almost crashes.
Wonderful.
THEN we arrive back at school (our bus was the first one back) and my history teacher from last year (BEST TEACHER EVER!) comes running over to our bus and tells us that we are supposed to go to the cafeteria because their is a tornado warning.
WONDERFUL!
So, we go to the cafeteria and because all the tables have been put up, there is no room along the walls to do that Tornado tuck thingy that we are required to do.
SO we get moved into the hallway and crouch down there.
Ten minutes later, we are allowed to sit up and talk quietly as they wait for more instructions.
By now it is 3:20 and normally we get out at 3:28.
10 minutes later we're supposed to go to our 8th block (Tech Ed) and wait for the buses to come (While driving home the elementary kids they had to stop at the nearest school and do that crouching thingy).
Finally, at 4:05 the buses have arrived.
They are having rush down to our houses, get our stuff from our lockers, and then get on the buses.
We are finally heading home and at 4:20 I finally get home.
After this day I have blistered feet, feet in a huge amount of pain, my back and hair is STILL (Over an hour after we got off the buses) soaking wet from walking in the rain, and I now know that I should have played sick today.
WORST DAY EVER!
