So much to type, so little time

First off HAPPY MOTHERS DAY :D ok um I have to type fast because Im taking my mother out for dinner at a very upclass expensive resturaunt (The Melting Pot). I have been thinking about Washington D.C. Everybody had the same thought when we came back....."I wanna go back!" The first thing we felt was HEAT! I couldve died in that hallway they make you enter after you get off the plane. I tasted the humidity and it was horrible! But then I remembered that I had lived here all my life and that I'm used to it. D.C was amazing though. It was raining when we got there. The rain was different from Houston rain. It was cleaner and softer then Houston rain. I loved it. Everywhere you looked, there was green! I loved that. In someways I couldn't stop thinking "Hey...we're in D.C?????" Because it isn't too different from Houston (When you get to the city that is) But then I look around and notice all the differences and think "Wow...this is deffinately D.C" The land wasn't the only thing I was excited about. We met people from all over the country! There were many students from Alaska, Montana and Illinoise. It was amazing. I made a couple of friends from Alaska and Montana. I will miss them but I have gotten their e-mails and numbers :). They really were great. The day we were set in the hotel, they divided us into worshop groups. I wasa in worshop 4 with one of the awesomest leaders, Alex. She was cool and laid back. She taught us in a way that we could learn and still have fun. She also laughed at the random things we had to say. She even let us name our worshop "The Sexy Squirrels". Our group was the loudest and fun. Next were the sights. We went to Jamestown, which I did not like very much. Over half of it was just about the Powatan Indians. Then we were off to Williamsburg. We saw the way the colonists used to live. We saw a well and an olden time drug store. It was pretty great. The next day we say the Thomas Jefferson Memorial which was amazing. I liked the FDR Memorial better though. It was completely flat because He had polio. There were many a quotes that I liked. The one That I picked out was "I will never forget that I live in a house owned by the Americans and that I have their trust"-FDR. It was great. I took pictureds of all the quotes. The next day we went to the WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and the Lincoln Memorial. My favorite wasa the Lincoln Memorial....I don't know why :P I just felt something when I walked through the door. Again I have many pictures :) Then the next day we were to leave :( We said our goodbyes and boarded the plane and here I am :) If you ever get a chance to go on the close up trip.....GO! Next up...Summer! I've been thinking....since I'm falling for the guy I fell for last year....will the summer be the same way or better? I remember how fun the weekends were when I was with him. How he made me smile just by being there with me. How we had so much in common and could have an entire conversation just by using facial expressions. I really do miss those days but this summer, will be the best summer ever because he's coming home and home to stay :) From what I've heard from my friends, he's falling for me too so I should have a great time :) I'm just very impatient. Well I'll focus on how easy this weeks algebra lessons are and pass the test with an A! Then everything will be smooth sailing from there :) I've gotta go get into my fancy clothing now so I can take my mother to dinner. Bye bye :)
