Hi!
For the fifth grade trip, all 47 of us flew in a plane to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and then rode in a bus for 5 hours to Crow Canyon Archaeological center in Colorado. My time there was actually pretty depressing. On the first night, no one was at home to pick up the phone, so I was really homesick. The second and third nights, I was homesick, had stomachaches and nausea, and spent every minute worrying about whether I was going to throw up or not. (I didn't throw up.) The third day, we rafted down the San Juan river and I got my hands really badly sunburned so 1) I couldn't do ANYTHING and 2) I was screaming in pain. So I had to sit there in the sun for 7 hours with no shade and no first aid and my hands could only get worse. When I got back, I couldn't even hold a fork. For the rest of the trip I could barely pick anything up, even a pencil, so I couldn't really participate in any of the reflection or the simulated dig. My hands were better for the last day, though, so I didn't have to sit on the bus or the airplane in pain. When I got home, I spent two days completely inside and by then my hands were healed. They still itch a lot, though.
Okay, that got out all my complaining on that matter.
At the end of the school year, someone always hosts a pool party for the grade in celebration of the year's end. This year, the hostess emailed me asking for a list of my favorite songs (including Super Bass, hence the title of this post), and I said yes and sent her a lengthy list of the most popular songs. Well, I must have done a pretty good job with that, because then she asked me to coordinate the music for the entire party. I love music, so I couldn't say no. I bought a bunch of songs on iTunes and made a huge playlist of songs for the party, brought them to the party via iPod, and it was a hit. :)
So now I'm officially a sixth grader, and it feels AWESOME. Just so you know.
It was not more than 2 hours from when my sister got home that she started saying "I'm bored."
And so the summer begins.
I was bored too, so I decided to write on this blog. And that is the summary of the last couple of weeks. The end.
