Educational Field Trip to Trier

This last week was the 2nd week of school and we had wednesday off for an educational field trip to trier. I wasn't really paying attention the whole time so dont really ask me what the significance of trier is cuz I dont really know I just know that it's where karl marx grew up!! haha!! I'm such a good student can't you tell?! what I did learn though that I thought would be a useful piece of information is that I really dont like tours, I just like to look at things myself and read the significance of what I'm looking at if it really interests me because I cannot focus long enough to pay attention to some tour guide who is dishing out all this information at once like how the walls were built and why they used this type of stone instead of that type of stone... blah blah blah blah blah!! i'm kind of bitter about it if you can't tell!! haha!! I think I would've rather been in class and that's bad!! the town was allright, heidelbergs much much better though!! but i did by the coolest duck umbrella that has a bill built into it for a euro and I had the best ice cream in a waffle horn so there was some good outcomes out of it!! =) Plus we took lots of fun random pictures... 

I lova you!!

The prettiest church I've seen yet!

We are looking so intense at something and then Zach is laughing like he's looking at the most hilarious thing! haha!

The one Euro ducky umbrella's!!! I love it so much! I wish it was raining now!

Pretty much the most amazing horn EVER!!

yummmmmmmm

While singing random camp songs on the way back to the bus because we were extremely bored I found out yet another reason why I love Taylor Hardman... he too knows THE MILK SONG!!!!! Don't want no pop no pop...Amazing!

Oh yeah I almost forgot!! the best part was on the way back on the bus! all 48 of us plus dr. lerner (our crazy humanities teacher) and the her d. and the rouses were all on the same bus, and guess what happened?? of course while on the autobond still about 1 1/2 hours away from home there's an accident and traffic is completely stopped I mean we're not even inching for like 2 hours!!! so everyone gets up and is like walking around and we're all visiting and stretching and then we decide to have a music battle between the front and tha back of the bus!! it was so much fun and hysterical!! so basicallly what would happen is one side of the bus, say my side, the front side, would pick a song and we'd belt is as loud as we could all facing the back side of the bus and then the back side of the bus would have to pick another song by the same artist and sing as loud as they could to us and then we'd have to do it again and it would go on with the same artist for up to 4 times and then if both teams could think of two songs by that artist then it would be a tie and it would be the next teams turn to pick an artist!! It started out with britneys spears and went all the way from aqua to simple plan!! it was so much fun I was almost glad we were in traffic cuz it was so much fun to play a game with like the entire group here!! and then we switched to disney soundtracks... totally dominated that!!t! we started with mulan and ended with the sound of music I think!! we changed the rules for the disney sountracks one and you coul keep going and going until you were out of songs for that musical and if the other team could think of another one that you couldn't think of then it was their point! the sound of music one was the best one I think we sang every song on that one, even the lonely goater one!! haha! oh I wish I had it on video tape cuz it was so intense everyone was getting all into it and watching people sing and get intense is so funny!!!

and then we have wednesday night worship but we were on the bus so they suggested to do it on the bus and we turned off all the lights and just sang every christian song we knew for like an hour!! probably one of my favorite worship times ever becuase we jsut got to sing and sing until we were out of songs!!! I loved it!! we finally got home at around 12 that night and we were scheduled to get home at 9 but it was totally worth it to me I think!!

luv shannon
