one of my last rants for a while

The title explains the entry-today is going to be one of the last rants in the blog that I will be able to do for quite a while. I have a free block right now because my Spanish teacher has a class schedule that's hard to explain. But I have a free block. And I'm NOT skipping. So tonight I'm going to Atlanta. I said that before, didn't I? Oh, well. I'm saying it again. I get really bored really easily so I'm bringing like a bazillion knitting things and a sketchbook and a regular book and a book of stitch patterns and a book I have to read for History and some knitting magazines. My backpack is really big. And the balls of yarn are really small. It works. Anyway, we get to go to the mall and the world of Coke on the first day and I forget where else before we go to the hotel. But then we go to the hotel and hang out for a while and then go to a dinner theater thing. Or maybe that's the second night. I forget. But anyway, I have no idea what show they're doing. On the second day we have to wake up at seven and get out by eight, and then go to a Martin Luther King memorial thing, I think. Then we go back to the hotel and the chorus people change into their chorus things and then we go to competition. I forget what we do after that. Maybe that's when we go to the dinner theater thing. On the third day we wake up at seven again (EEK!!!!!!!) and then go to hear the band people do their thing and then go to Six Flags. Then we go to the awards thing and then we go home. Or something to that effect. It's going to be really hard to keep to my budget. I don't want to spend my emergency cash, but I have a feeling that I'm going to be sorely tempted by the time Saturday comes around because I'll have spent most of my budget at the mall and Coke world and stuff. But then again, my emergency cash is a really large bill (I'm not saying how much) that I got for Christmas. But then again, I might have to pay for more than one person in the cab if we get lost. But whatever. I'll have to carefully mark my spending just so I can spend a reasonable amount at all the places and still have some left on Saturday. And if I don't, I'm going to be very miserable at Six Flags. Especially if Six Flags is anything like Hershey Park. I've been to Hershey Park three times with Middle School Chorus. It was rather awesome. Eighth grade was the best because I was with friends who were actually willing to go on rides and not just walk around and do nothing. And on the Eighth Grade Hershey Park trip I went on a roller coaster for the first time in years. Seriously, the last time I had gone on a roller coaster before that was at King's Dominion the summer after fourth grade and it freaked me out so much that I didn't go on a roller coaster again until Hershey Park in eighth grade. And I think it was partially the fact that I was ten when I went on the roller coaster at King's Dominion and I was fourteen when I went on the roller coaster at Hershey Park that made the difference. But what is really awesome is that my mom isn't going to be there. There's just something about the fact that your mom is not going to be at a school trip that makes it that much more fun. Especially when you're going out of town with a bunch of people close to your age. Well, close-ER to your age than your mom is, anyway. So that is why it is amazing. And I want to go. And I am PSYCHED!!! But knowing me, I'm probably going to get bored an hour into the bus ride and not be able to sleep until like midnight or something. But that's probably just me.
