Friday

Hotel: Awoke to the sound of forks banging on the cheap plates of the hotel. Shocked, I jumped out of bed and flung open the door. There, seated at every table, were guests eating breakfast. Without contacts, the people all mushed together into one swirling sea of flesh. I could not even tell if it was my group or not. I slammed the door and yelled. "FUCK!!! WE OVERSLEPT!!! EVERYBODY IS ALREADY EATING BREAKFAST!!!" Immediate actioned followed, as one can see, for four people rushed to get ready to leave. I glanced at a nearby watch, and discovered it was 7:12 A.M. Rushing more, we finally made it out the door, discovering NOBODY ELSE WAS AWAKE! The hotel failed to deliver our wake-up calls, and the group outside was the one belonging to the promiscuous girls and the freaking guys. *shudder* Mr. Hefner was pounding on all doors, trying to arouse (WAKE!!! NOT THE OTHER KIND!! I'M TALKING ABOUT WAKING SOMEONE UP!!!!) people from their sleep. Makiyo and I scrambled to Mrs. Burk's room to see what was the matter, and instantly got blinded by what we saw. Mrs. Burk was standing there with bed-hair and light blue PAJAMAS that hung off her SHOULDER! I tried to keep from gagging as we asked why we didn't receive our daily wake-up calls. She said the hotel fed her two stories (Delightful choice of words)
1.) They did, we just didn't hear it (Yah! Really convincing when you call 50+ people and NOBODY heard it..)
2.) Their machine broke. (Oh! So THAT'S why we didn't hear it!)
The others ate breakfast while I pulled three boxes of cereal into my backpack and settled on a carton of orange juice. Finding it hard to open, I handed it to another person, who upon opening the lid, discovered something solid floating around. I picked up a spoon and dropped the mysterious object into a water glass. Relieved, I discovered it was just ice, but upon closer inspection, I saw it was...fuzzy... *eye mouf man* I abandoned whatever was left of my appetite to find ways to get the hotel back for all the horrible things it has done to me. Miko went to the buffet and picked up two plates, one of which he placed a waffel with LOTS of syrup, and the other slathered in ketchup. He placed the waffle plate on top of the other one and waited for the people to come pick it up. I, on the other hand, composed a letter, and with the help of Sarutenshi, wrote a final copy and left it on the table of my room. I chewed gum and placed it between the pillow and the blanket. I found out Mr. Hefner was checking the rooms, so I moved the gum to a safer place...between the mattresses. *teefy grin* Mrs. Burk saw us (Sarutenshi and I) as we left the room, and asked what we were doing. I replied truthfully (GASP!) and said we left a letter of complaint. Angrily, she stomped (heh. *ducks and holds on to nearest table*) into the room and grabbed the letter. She took it and we were left with the minute punishments we had set for the maids. On the way out, I marked the wall with my pen (A line) and kicked the wall, causing a faint footprint to appear on the wall, near the bottom. Left our suitcases in the care of some airport/hotel people (yah! real smart...) Boarded bus and embarked on our last journey in Washington D.C., the City of Historic Porn.[We saw countless statues who were either naked or in perverted positions] (doesn't Los Angeles: City of Angels sound SO much better? SEE!!!)
Tour: FINISH LATER!!!!!!
Thursday

Hotel: Maggie wouldn't wake up. Let her sleep a little longer while Makiyo, Rei and I left the room to join up with the rest of the group. Laughed, ate, and laughed some more. Woke Maggie up. Makiyo wanted Fruit Loops. She dropped them all over the floor of our room. Stepped on them. Pretty design. Showed Sarutenshi and Miko. They eye mouf manned. I reached for the batteries (I kept them in an empty Altoid box) and discovered they were hot. I burned my hand. With a towel, I opend the case, and they were MELTED!! (Rechargeable Batteries, I charged them during the night) I screamed and dropped them. I showed my friends. They laughed. When they cooled down, I put them back in box. Then, 5 minutes later, THEY GOT HOT AGAIN!! I dropped them. Sarutenshi tried to pick it up, but then he ouched his hand too.Makiyo dropped them in bucket of ice water. Dried them up and put them back in box. Then, they turned HOT AGAIN!! (hah! got you! they only turned warm)
Bus: Nothing much happened. Listened to music again.
Tour: Monticello!! Gotted ticket then rode mini-bus up to the placeful thing. Set free again!! But only for a short while. Gift shop!! Got some stuff. Went to Jefferson's grave. Stu pid ppl kept walking in front while try to take pictures. I decided I can be rude to them. *teefy grin* Went into Monticello. Then ran around on grass outside. Jefferson has big house, but rooms are cramped. *eye mouf man* Took more pictures. Out to lunch!
Lunch: Ate at a little tavern place near Monticello. Then went to giftshop. Bought this pixiestick looking like thing with flavored honey. Nummy.
Tour: University of Virginia. Boring. Toured around a while. Sat on stairs while tour guide talked. A LOT. I feel asleep. Miko had to wake me up. *teefy grin*
Dinner Ate at Shakeys. They had arcade. I had no quarters... Machine brokeded... sadful... Sarutenshi and Miko played... machine was weird cuz not let shoot in far right side...
Hotel: Nothing to do, went to arcade, they closed after three minutes of wondering what we should do. When they locked the doors, we ventured into the gift shop, which was right next to it. Sarutenshi found some outdoor thermometers in the shape of the Washington Memorial, but...bronzer... He asked how to take human temperature with it. Miko and I started cracking up and got yelled at by the store owner. She made us leave. (Nobody likes us! *sob*) Curfew at 10:30. Back in room, discovered some items were missing. Contacts case: all three of ours! they left one cap for Makiyo, one for Rei, and NOTHING for me!!! I also realized that my souvenir half-cup was also missing. Complained to teachers, fed some poor excuse. Mad. Watched some TV. Got tired, slept in the middle of 3rd Rock
Wednesday

Hotel:Overslept. I woke up to the sound of Kikari banging on the door. Looked at the clock. Noticed it was a futile attempt. Rei had messed up the clock days before. Opened door. People were eating breakfast. Yelled at other people to wake up. Frenzied motions trying to get ready. Poked self in eye while trying to put in contacts. Twice. Ate a little. Took more cereal.
Bus: Slept. Listened to music. (I was not supposed to) Hid CD player in backpack and cord under hair. Earphones went in ears. Pretended to be asleep. Was not caught. Happy with self. Mr. Hefner stuck his butt in our face two or three times. Then he turned around and stuck his butt in Sarutenshi and Miko's face. We got the other side. NOT FUN!
Tour: FDR Memorial. Took pictures on some rocks. I'm a little mermaid! Bunch of people copied our pose. We fit 8 people on a little rock and took a picture. Nobody fell in the water. On bus, Steven Lee pissed me off so I punched him in the head. Next: Einstein place. More pictures. Place with Pretty Ceiling. Kikari tripped metal detector..AGAIN.. Went to Library of Congress. Sat on steps to wait for tour person. Ate sand that flew in mouf. Gross. Took pictures. Warned passing people to beware of the Giant Rubic's Cube. Saw odd men in short jogging shorts. Finally went inside. All of their letters are written odd. The U's looked like V's. Mass confusion. Was not allowed to take pictures in one room. Pissed. When we had to leave, rode elevator. Mrs. Burk pressed all the buttons. We went up. (Supposed to go down) Then arrived where we started. THEN we finally made it out. Somewhere smooshed inbetween, we went to the White House. We didn't go in. We just walked around the outside of the south entrance. There, we found this woman protesting bombs or whatever. She had some peanuts on the ground (NOT THAT KIND!!!) and a bunch of squirrels were there. I trapped one under a sign and Sarutenshi chased another one with Kikari. The woman got mad and told us to stop, so we went somewhere else. We found half a blueberry bagel on the floor and speared it with a stick. Then, Sarutenshi tried to lure a squirrel towards us. We broke off half and threw it into a fenced off area with lots of squirrels. Almost immediately, pigeons came and TRIED TO EAT THE BAGEL!! We fended them off by throwing broken peices of the fench and sticks. Soon, we gave up the futile attempt and tired to lure anther one with what was left of the bagel. Unsuccesful and tired, we noticed that most of our group had gone, so we ran to catch up. We saw another squirrel on the way, so we chased it to a tree. There, it climbed up so Sarutenshi threw sticks at it. But the bus was leaving so we left the terrified squirrel and on the bus. We drew diagrams of run over squirrels and Makiyo drew the bottom view, butthole and all (Thanks for the wonderful images).
Lunch: Where did we eat? I think... this one mall... Don't remember, didnt have enough space at table so split up... I got to sit at fun tall tabo. :)
Tour...Again: Supreme Court! Waiting in long line, decided to play Fellytone (Telephone) Got too loud when we laughed, stopped. Went inside for lecture. BORING. I think Phillip Chen was snoring... There was these statues on top. And this one man/woman/person was kneeling in front of another person. And it looked like... yah... :) When we were leaving, everybody was talking loud and the security guards asked us to leave. When we left, I was saying 'We got kicked out of the Supreme Court! This is gonna be fun to tell people...' Shop. Bought a Half-cup souvenir and a keychain. Cup got stolen by hotel maids. ;_;
Dinner: Ate at Pizza Hut. Ivan took some of our pizza. Got mad at him.
Hotel: Dance at hotel. Small room. Horrible music. Crappy DJ. Kept switching between gross pop music and rap. He didn't even mix anything. Just switched CDs when the song was over. I could DJ better than he could EVER!! *sword* I challenge thee! eh... never mind... ^^; There was this circle of white people freaking with each other. The girls were all getting on EVERYBODY and these two guys were freaking...with each other... *shudder* Had to change eyes. Don was in pool. Blinded. Changed eyes again. Saw Ivan in pool. Changed eyes for the THIRD time. Played cards. Grossed each other out. Got sent to our rooms. Stayed up again and talked for a long time. Was not tired. Decided to just sleep on bus if I ever was.
Tuesday

Hotel: Rei would not let me sleep. Changed and went to gross hotel breakfast. The eggs were the powder kind mixed with water. Bacon was powder kind mixed with water. Potatoes was powder kind mixed with water. Cereal was... solid kind... :) I stoleded some cereal and put it in my backpack so I can eat it on the trip. I didn't eat it. Makiyo lost her voice... went to buy medicine at gift shop... Expensive... $1.35 for one package of two gel-tablets. Also saw some chocolate laxatives... Gross.
Bus: Tried to sleep. Bus suddenly stopped and hit head on seat in front of me. Not fun... Talked and yelled at people on bus.
Tour: Arlington. Walked around for a LONG time. Rode the tramish thingy around. Saw the Changing of the guard. I thought they would shoot something. But they just walked around and switched places. Tomb of unknown soldier. I thought it was like..underground cave or something... Ate lunch at the Pentagon. Cool pon. Wanted to buy stuff. Never had the chance. Rode subway. Standing and holding on to pole. Burk leaned on pole. NOT FUN! Arrived at Smithsonian. Looked around for ten minutes. Then was the fun part. Burk let us run our seperate ways, promising to all meet up in front of the American History Museum at 5:30 P.M. Ran around and scared people. Went to Natural History Museum... Saw bugs and other dead stuff. Wanted to watch IMAX movie, but it was 2D. Not fun. Ran outside where Makiyo pointed at the Merry-go-round. Wanted to ride all day, but tickets were $1.50 each. Rei and Makiyo stayed on bench while the rest of us (Me, Kikari, Kristi, Sarutenshi, Maggie, and Miko) Took pictures. I rode on rainbo horse. Wanted to stay forever. But had to leave. By this time, it was almost 5. Started to go to meeting place. Got sidetracked by wonderful looking items at the Art place. Water fountain... Odd shaped objects. Took pictures. Laughed at ducks. I think they were gay... (two males) Pretended to be Mary Poppins, got pushed off by Miko. *sob* Went back on street. Saw sign that said 'No standing. All violators will be towed' and we all got confused. Tow people? Continued on happy way. Got on bus again.
Dinner Ate at Hometown Buffet wannabe restaurant called Old Country or Country Town or Old Town or something like that.. I don't remember.. After eating, somebody mixed pepper, salt, sugar, and a bunch of sodas and other stuff into a cup. Maggie drank some, then passed it to me. I took a small taste. It was HORRIBLE! A little like ginger ale with vinegar and fermented pineapples. I then passed it to Sarutenshi, who drank some, who then passed to Miko. When everybody had taken a sip, I got the stu pid idea that if I took a bigger sip, it wouldn't taste as bad. So I took a gulp... It was even worse. Rei and I tried to find some sort of liquid to wash the taste out of our mouths, but they only made it worse. Coffee was able to cover the taste, but it still lingered. On the bus, I stuffed three Altoids in my mouth, hoping it would work, but the combined flavors turned sour. I decided not to eat any more.
Tour...yet again...: Went to the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Maggie made me run up the stairs at the Lincoln Memorial, then down, then she realized we forgot people, so she made me run up again...then down...then again cuz she wanted to count the stairs. Took more pictures of the Washington Memorial (Sarutenshi had 6+) then went back to the bus. As soon as we approached it, we realized it started pulling out of its parking space and onto the road. We yelled and waved our arms, but they did not seem to notice and started LEAVING! Panicked, we all ran after it, shouting and waving our arms. Soon, after a big circle around the area, the bus stopped where it first started and let us on. I then realized only half the group was there and they only circled the area. Mr. Hefner laughed at us (not fun) when we got on the bus. I sat down and felt hot and cold at the same time. . .that can't be good...
Hotel Tried playing cards... Got bored again... Tried sleeping.. Didn't work well...Was not tired considering all the events that happened.
Monday

Arrived at school at 4:50. We would have arrived earlier, but I forgot my toofbrush so had to buy another one at the gas station. Heh, stu pid me.
LAX: took forever to check in...52 people...55 including teachers... Stood in airport for some time... Kikari set off the metal detector, she had metal on her shoes. Hilarious.
Airplane: Sat for a while in alphabetical order. When plane was in the air, switched seats so I sat next to Rei. Two seats in front of Sarutenshi... Rei and I started an offline blog and kept passing it over the heads of some old people to Saru, I think they were mad at us. We listened to music. Ate gross airplane food. Landed.
Airport: Don't remember what it's called. We made much trouble. We (well, I) pressed the doorbell for the Admiral's Club (was it that? I don't remember) and this person (man? woman?) stuck his/her head out and looked around. By that time, we were standing with the rest of the group, trying VERY hard not to crack up. Then we saw this computer that said 'press any button to continue.' Tempting. I pressed the button.
Touring: Went on Bob's Special bus. Vietnam Memorial. Took pictures. Korean War Memorial. Took more pictures. Back on bus. Blanked out for a while.(I'll add more when I remember ^^;) Ate at Fuddruckers.
Hotel: Went to hotel. Amazed at how little money our school has. Went into room with Makiyo, Rei, and Maggie. Went (ran, rather) to Sarutenshi's room just to discover his PSX does NOT plug into the stu pid tv. Sarutenshi mentioned that motels are where people go to have sex. I did not feel like sleeping. Spent rest of bored time sitting. Makiyo kicked me off the bed, so went to Rei's bed. Got kicked off again. Screamed. Got in trouble with security guard ^^; Rei and Maggie played with the gameboy while I fought off sleep by mumbling half concious comments and trying to keep on the bed without rolling off (at edge) Maggie tried to kick me off again. Decided to just sit instead.
