The trip that has been building up for a year now is here. It is five days away now. All of this building up excites me, but I feel totally unprepared. Today was my Birthday, so I went on a small shopping trip to gather things for the trip. For most people this is just a normal vacation with a spice of education in it. Nothing too special, but for me this is a life changer. This is one of the first time I have been out of the state. (Only been to two other besides the one I live in.) It is also the first time I will be in an Airplane. It sounds so fun to go and see all these places that we have learned about this year. Instead of seeing some dull colored ingraving of Independence Hall in a textbook that is 5 years old, I get to actually walk in the same spot where... Sorry I can't think of some famous guy that wouldn't make me sound like a stereotypical American with no knowledge of history what so ever.... and feel the texture of the stone that you could barely make out in that dust covered textbook. I wouldn't call myself a history buff just because I know a little more than most people and actually enjoy history. (Wait, thats like the actual dictionary definition of a History Buff.) But I just love history. I feel really excited to gain more knowledge about our country. (Wow this is sounding a little to cheesy and patriotic.) This is also a great chance to get inspiration for some of my creative writings. I think I blabled on for way to long, so bye. B-)
