A Power Plant and Some Dancing :)

So. Basically today I did the most epic thing you could ever imagine. I got to go to the IPP power plant in Delta! I went with my AP Environmental Science class, it was our field trip. I felt gipped. Geography got to go Yellowstone, but AP just goes to Delta. What fun. We left at like 8:00 in the morning. It was not necessarily the most comfortable drive because it is a long way and we were just riding on a school bus, but I had a lot of fun talking with my friends. Somehow we got on the topic of crazy people (not crazy like me, crazy like need to be in an institution). Well, we'd been talking about this and then we arrived at the Power Plant and noticed there were fences topped with barbed wire all around it, and there were super intense gates. In between the gates there was an intenso building that was pretty much a guard booth. So, naturally my friends and I decided that the power plant was secretly a mental institution. As you can imagine, that made the rest of the visit there more enjoyable. Now, you are just going to have to try and form pictures in your head of this lovely place, because I didn't take actual pictures. Some people did. Yeah...I didn't exactly think to bring my camera. Anyway, we were there for ages and then we drove through Eureka (it really doesn't get much more exciting than this, folks) and then we got back to the school. It basically won the exciting field trip of the year award.
After the field trip I went to my high school ballroom auditions. I am not too worried about them, because I was on the team this year, so the coach already knows the way I dance, but I still hope I do well. Today we just learned the routine, and tomorrow we're doing the actual try out.
Then I had ballet company. That was probably actually one of the best parts of the day because I got to learn my solo part, which I'd been stressing about. If you read this before the concert and you live close you should email me and I'll give you info. ;) Well that's all I have time for now! Thank you for reading, I truly appreciate it. You should have a cookie. :)
