New excitements

July 10, 2013

We emerged onto the bus, teeming with excitement for our up-coming adventure. The juniors and seniors, nuzzled up, with crust still in their eyes. Yawning and gathering their sugary and salty snacks. We prepare for a 5 hour bus ride towards Tampa. Bugs splatter on the windshield of the bus, our eyes glued to the multiple T.V. screens, socializing our lives away. Our lunch consisted of either healthy, brown bagged lunch or greasy, unknown lunch from a red and white bag, gold ol’ McDonalds. Lovely. Soon, we were on the bus once again, headed to a museum, full of science stuff. Over flowing with dinosaur bones, butterfly fields, and a beautiful, mesmerizing film about an expedition on butterflies. I was amazed by the dome-like screen. After the movie, I was challenged by a fellow senior to an epic battle of air-hockey in the movie theater lobby. Sweat was beading down our necks as we barked out offensive slurs at one another, in a good-natured friendly competition kind of way. We were tied, one win to one win, when we realized we were short on time. Raymond and I tossed our strikers to a couple of juniors and dashed towards the gift shop, to meet up with the others, and for I to get something for my significant other’s birthday. Soon we left for our hotel. All in all, our first day going to/ in Tampa was phenomenal and by the time we got settled into our rooms, I couldn't wait to go to sleep, then awaken to the next breath taken day to come.
