Hello! It is our last day in Washington.😭I am struggling to type right now because I cannot feel my fingers. It’s so cold. It is snowing. It is currently 30°F. We just had a snowball fight outside our hotel. Everyone went inside after half an hour because it was so cold, but some of us stayed outside. I went inside after a while and sat in the lobby with everyone. We took a picture with Bob before we left. Then, we gathered our things and waited outside to board our bus.

Our trip to the zoo was cancelled due to the snow storm:( I was so excited. I have never been to the zoo.

We went to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. It was huge. We just looked around inside for about ten minutes. Then, we all went outside and had another snowball fight. Isaac hit me in the head again. Koury hit me really hard with a HUGE snowball and it is inside my shirt so I am very soaked. I can’t feel anything.

We headed to the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. Chad, our tour guide, handed us $10 for lunch. He told to meet him where we met him the other day we were her. In front of Shake Shack. There is so many Shake Shacks here. Everywhere we go has one. 

I got Chipotle for lunch. I sat with Alli, Dylan, Elmer, Emilien, Greg, and Xander. We all had an argument where to go next after eating lunch. Emilien, Greg, and Xander wanted to go to the Microsoft store so they can play Minecraft. Dylan, Elmer, and I wanted to go Forever 21 and Sephora. Alli wanted to get dippin dots. 
First, we went to Forever 21. It was the closest. They didn’t have fuzzy socks.☹️ My fuzzy socks are soaked because we were all running and playing in the snow. After, we went to go get dippin dots. I got cotton candy. All the guys ran to the Microsoft store. They ran back and said that it was closed due to the storm. They waited for Alli and I to get our ice cream. Then, I said let’s go to Sephora. All the guys were very against it and told us it was closed (it was not.) We were in there for about two minutes because they really did not want to go in there. The other time we were there, they hated it so much, that they ran out and Greg ran into the door. 

We sat down for a little and then went outside and played in the snow again. I was freezing once again. We met up with Chad at 2pm and loaded in our bus to go to the airport. 

We made it to the airport. We went through security and they held up my suitcase because I had a snowball in it. Luckily, they didn’t take it. 

We went on the train to get to our gate. We get to our gate and had an extra few mins to spare. I grabbed some snacks for the flight. 

I am now sitting in the plane, writing this. I will see you guys on Friday. I am too tired to go tomorrow. Bye bye! 

Here are some pictures from the trip.


Kamyjah & Izzy hit us with the snow in their hands after this picture was taken. 

The dome in the Capitol building.
Our first day in Washington DC. We just exited the airport. 

Hope diamond. It is priceless.

Thanks a lot, Charlotte..........you just had to..... Just saying, there's gonna be a lot of mistakes.... Agenda Blog Corrections Collect Trip Slips H.S / College planning Letter to your future self HW~ Letters due tomorrow We all walk into class, sit down, and write down the agenda. After that, Charlotte reads her blog and she has no mistakes. Good job, Charlotte. Anyways, Veronica and Bruno yell at Charlotte to choose them. Most people said to choose Veronica, but Charlotte didn't choose either of them. Ms. Nakada got mad at students for asking each other to sign their yearbooks. Good job. Now, Ms. Nakada is talking about the high school and college planning thing, GPAs, and APs. Some schools rank their students by GPA and the top 10% are most likely to go to UC schools. Now, Ms. Nakada is talking about some clubs that you could join in high school. ..........I just heard Fornite Club............wow Ryan................. Yay, now we have to write a letter t

AGENDA Blog · Corrections CAASPP sample ?'s Open mic/poem performance reader's/writer's workshop HW: 27 poems read EAP: 27 poems written Well, this is all Ryan's fault. I told him not to put me in the blog. But, he did and now I'm picked. Thanks, Bridget! This blog is going to be an actual blog and not going to go off topic, like the others usually are. This blog is strictly just for the things we do as a class. So, right now, we are correcting Bridget's blog which is filled with errors. Sort of like mine will be. Now, we are taking out our CAASPP sample questions and our poem packets to answer the questions within the sample. I'm guessing the class will be quiet while filling it out the essay questions we have. This will be painful for me... Should poetry be continued to be taught at schools? I said no. What do you think? I'm finished somehow. I thought it would take me longer, and people would have to wait o

Happy second to last week of school! AGENDA blog corrections Last Q&Q H.S./ college planning Letter to your future self HW: Field day trip slips due tomorrow! We corrected Mirae's blog, which had a couple of mistakes. I will try my best to make no mistakes, but, if we're being realistic, how high of a chance is it that we'll fit in another pizza party before school is over? We are doing are last question and quote of the school year. Our quote is: "Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class and be humble." - John Madden Chaos ensues. Oh no. I had a full blog, but the rest got deleted. I will do my best to reconstruct what I wrote today. We had a big argument about this quote and whether or not self-praise was the same as self-love or self-confidence or if it was conceited to praise yourself. Our question of the week is: How have you changed/grown in the past three years? We then go to collegeresults.org,
