So, Hey. I havn't posted in a while. This is because of the Musical and the Arts Trip to Chicago and the various projects I had due this last week.
Anyway. Before the trip my mom joked that I should email her all the time about everything. This actually led me to email myself on an hourly basis. Usually I go on these trips, have fun, but then forget most of it. I figured doing this would make more of an image in my mind when I think back, partially because it's written down, but also because it is from my perspective, not just an itinerary. So, ya. I also took way too many pictures. We left school at about 6 pm Wednesday.
So here it is, my unedited (with some "*" comments) "Hourly Blog Post" for the Chicago Trip:
Cell phone:
It is 8:35. We are about to leave Kingston after a 30 minute dinner break. I went to the bulk barn with CK and CK* and bought candy.
Its 9:30. We are on the bus. I'm being tempted, but I must resist. Luke 14?:27* If you cannot take your cross and deny your self and follow me daily you are not worthy of becoming my disciple, or something... I must fight through this with His help and move onto another day.
It's 10:29. I've been "sleeping" for a little while and we are now starting to watch "Mean Girls"... I don't think I've seen it, but I think I'd rather "sleep". Lol.
It is now 11:36. We have stopped somewhere... I ended up watching Mean Girls. Lol... It's so shallow... The guidance councilor was about to talk to all of the girls about how they relate with each other... Anyways... I'm thirsty...
So, "Mean Girls" just ended. Cheesy happy ending. It's 12:20. I'm awake right now. We're going to watch "Semi-Pro" now. Many people are opposed to watching another movie... It's 12:20... So, ya.
Ok. So it's 1:44. We are now approaching the border near Detroit..? Anyways, I didn't watch "Semi-Pro" I listened to my ipod with my noise cancelling earbuds. It was nice.
Ok... It's 2:27. We are nearly done going through customs... In other years the officer would just take all our passports and do all the stuff himself. This is the first time that we all had to wake up, put on shoes and stuff and individually go through customs.... It's 2:30 in the morning... Pity us or something.... -_-...
Its 4:52... Other than the moon its pretty much black outside.*** Everyone is "sleeping" by which I mean they close their eyes, but only about half are actually asleep and the other half are tossing and turning, like the guy beside me, DS. Also, because everything around is black, I feel like the whole world is just flying by... ***
It's 5:20... We've been at a gas station for about 15-20 minutes.... There are many bright lights and everyone woke up... BL was telling everyone to go back to sleep...
Ok. I'm kinda awake now. My battery is going to die soon... Which annoys me because I'll have to write these down on paper... It's 7:40 eastern time, but we are in a McDonalds in Indiana, so here it's 6:40. We don't go to the hotel until like 10 tonight.
It's 7:47 and my battery is going to die very soon....... Uhg... Anyways. We are now paying a toll to go onto the Chicago Skyway..? So ya...
Paper 1:
So, it's 8:30. We are still on the bus... I've been taking pictures. It's fun. =D but I'm bored now. DS and AG are playing my DS. They are supposed to be training my bellsprout. We are kinda in Chicago now.
It is now 10:36. Me, GM and RP have seen most of the aquarium. It was pretty awesome. Both cell and camera batteries are dead... I need to find new ones.
It's 12:02. We are waiting in the aquarium for the show fantasea. My camera batteries are bugging me. We don't get to go back to the bus until 6:00... I had spare batteries in my bag on the bus...
Ok, so it's 1:01. Fantasea just finished. It was actually really boring... Some "random" girl from the audience got taken on a magical adventure... There were dolphins, penguins, belugas and a hawk. They didn't do much... Apparently we get to go on the bus at 1:25. yuss. spare batteries!
It's 1:45. We just arrived at the navy pier. I have new batteries and we have 2 hours.
It's 2:26. I've been running around the Navy Pier taking pictures. lol. totemo tanoshii desu yo. "before we go back on the bus I need to buy more batteries!" Jamba Juice. =P.
It's 2:53 and we just passed the top of the ferris wheel! It's kinda cold and windy... lol. so awesome! DS, CK and LT are here too. Gondola 24 FTW! DS is scared out of his life. lol.
It's 3:49. We just got on the bus. I got 4 AA Energizer Lithium batteries for 13$... We were all looking at those rip-off necklace and ring stands. I remembered how I really want a necklace with a cross on it, but not just any cross, I want one that is unique and cool but simple. Probably metal on a black string. I didn't find one. I think once I get one, I'll wear it everyday after I'm baptized.
It is now 4:43. I am running out of paper, so I shall have to write smaller... Me and RF(?) have just been served our pasta. DS and BG were also just served. We will eat now. When we got here there was a pitcher of cola on the table. It was pepsi. We drank it. There is a new pitcher. It is... Coke!?! I don't like either...
It is now 5:30. The band started playing about half an hour ago. The band is a jazz combo, string bass, drums, piano and bass trumpet. The bass is so cool and the bass trumpet sounds like a trombone in the mid-upper register. It's sooo cool! The band is awesome. I had baked pasta for supper. For dessert we had chocolate chip cookies. They were the best cookies I've ever had. I have just confirmed that RF's name is R. lol.
Paper 2:
It's 7:07. Art. What is art? I'm walking around with JA, JT, and CK taking pictures of art and people. It's so cool.
It's 8:02. Mr, BF is yelling out room configurations. They are unchangeable. We are on the bus heading towards our hotel. LT is mad at my photographic style while JT agrees with it. I think it is much more interesting to take a picture of someone admiring/pondering art rather then just art. It may sound cold, but people are used as objects in my pictures. I really like this new piece of paper JT gave me.
It is now 10:05. Cerfew has just been called. We ended up me and TS on the beds, GM on the "floor" and DS on the "couch". I havn't read yet today. I definately will tommorow. I'll be waking up first, probably.****
* I had actually written their first names there, but changed it now. I later used initials and discovered they have the same initials. lol.
** I was actually thinking mostly of Luke 9:23 "Then he said to them all: "if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."" as well as Luke 14:27 "And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple." They were both from a study I had done the night before and hadn't fully memorized them. xP. The point of the study was that when our path crosses with His path, we have to choose to follow His and give up our own desires if they conflict with His path, or something like that.
*** I then noticed that there were stars. It was also because of this wooshing sound.
**** I ended up reading that night before bed while TS was in the bathroom. lol.
