Today we went on an aweosme feild trip! We went to 2 college campuses. Now, I know it dosent sound fun, but it was! we happened to haev hilarious tour guides and there was student walking around, and they were nice and waved and said, "Hey Highschoolers!" and what not.
It was pretty boring on the way there. Nobody wanted ot talk to anyone because a lot of us didnt know each other. yes, we're all in AVID, but there were only a few of us freshman, one (literally one) sophomore there, and the rest were all juniors. no seniors were on the trip with us. All I did was listen to the music on my phone, I had a small chat with my neighbor (who was ironically in my same class and I had no idea) and played Pokemon (LOL! :D) on my gameboy. It took us over two hours to get there, and it seemed to take forever. Finally we got to our first destination....
The first campus we went to was California State University of Los Angeles. (CSULA) We had a female tour guide, and she was okay. She was very helpful. When we first got there we were kinda standing around for a while, then we had trouble splitting up into groups, but eventually we headed off for our tour! I got to ask about the Forensic department, english department, and the artists building. They had a really nice facility, and it was small compared to the other college we went to. (ill tell you about that next) They had a really awesome dorm area, and it was funny to see posters everywhere saying, "Guitar Hero II, battle of the Soloist! Competition in the Northeast end of the dorm area!" When I saw this I started to laugh, and nobody knew why, including myself. Of course, nobody else had seen the poster but me at the time, and when everyone saw they began to laugh as well. We then quickly bought lunch and boarded the bus to our next stop and ate lunch on the way there. This drive was only about 5 minutes though, so nothing really to say on that.
The second campus we went to was personally my favorite. We went to University of Southern California. (USC [LOL HOME OF THE TROJANS! XD]) Our tour guide this time was male, and he was cocky (LOL NO NOT THAT WAY) and funny. He made a lot of funny comments as well. He almost made me pass out when he said there were more than 14 or 15 different libraries? I almost screamed in delight, for I just love to read. :D He showed us the track and feild, and I really liked that. He also showed us the civics arts center, and that was truly cool looking. :) He showed us where every Saturday there was a party for the football game. It was a wonderful campus altogether. When he began talking about finances, almost everyone seemed to die. In order to go there you have to pay $50,000 or MORE to attend! and they only provide finiacial aide to people with a 3.5 or higher! you might think thats easy, but youre looking at a girl who can hardly get a 3.0 to begin with. We eventually got to explore for an hour by ourselves, which we didnt get to do before and I thought was cool. I did various things, including looking at the Alumni House, which I thought was neat. I was also sitting in front of the trojan mascot, which has a camera taking a picture every 60 seconds, and if I can find a pic of me sitting in front of it I'll post it on here. :) Out of the enitre campus I saw though, I counted a total of 5 or more fountains. I thought that was totally unnecessary.
Eventually we left the fabulous campus. We had much more fun on teh way back. Our acitvties included taking naps, taking naps, more naps, and sleep. XD I listened to my music on my phone while taking a quick 15 minutes nap. :3 Then we listened to the radio on the bus that went quite quite loud and sang along to many songs, a couple boys in the back socked each other as hard as possible screaming, "SLUG BUG!!" when a Voltswagen Beetle passed. Our teacher headbanged to songs from Nirvanna, and disco danced to various songs including Boogie Oogie Oogie. It was quite funny. and almost ALL of us started singing when Brass Monkey came on the radio from Beastie Boys.
Altogether, a wonderful day. I loved it. It was worth it. Im glad. ^^
