Welcome to Chi Town

On April 10th, I'm taking a class trip to Chicago! Last year, my spanish teacher, Kollasch, took our junior class and other classes to Chicago to the Art Museum. We were studying Spanish artists such as El Greco, Vasquez and others. After the museum we went to a Spanish tapas restaurant Cafe Iberico and ate a bunchhh of food, and it was really good. It was a lot of fun, and I was really wishing we could go there again.

This year, as seniors, my friend Jenny and I get to go again with the junior class as chaperones! It's kind of funny to think that seniors will be chaperones of people only a year younger than them, but I don't care. I think we will be doing the same things as the juniors, and we're just coming along for the ride. We still have to pay for everything, but it is all worth it. Chicago is a really cool place, and I want to go there any time that I am provided the oppourtunity.

At first last year, the only reason I signed up for the trip was because we got to miss a day of school on friday, which meant 3 day weekend!! This time, I'm actually really excited to go. To convince other people to sign up, Jenny and I went in to Kollasch's classes and talked to the juniors about the trip, and how it was totally worth it. We told them all about how the museum was not boring at all, because you get to wander around on your own a lot, and take pictures. Then the food is really good, even though it sounds really weird and disgusting. I think we got a couple new recruiters on board.

Jenny's boyfriend, Brenden, is a junior and he is going on the trip. I kinda wish I had a junior boyfriend going on the trip too, because I don't wanna bug Brenden and Jenny the whole time. Oh well, I know other people going on the trip. OH! and I almost forgot.. There's this huge shiny silver bean in the middle of a park in chicago, and we got to visit that too because we were a little early. I guess it's like 3 stories high, and you can see yourself in it. It was a lot of fun to take pictures of yourself in it too. It was really super nice that day, so I got to wear a sundress. I hope this year is the same, or at least it isn't crappy out.

Ahhh I'm so excitedd!!!!! [<3]
