'B' is for Barack

January 16, 2009

After one hour of flying, I was tired already. I thought to myself that I have five more hours of flight. I felt nervous and sad at the same time. I was nervous about how I had to leave on a six hour flight. I was sad about leaving my family. I was also happy! I was happy that I get to experience going to Washington D.C. for the Inauguration.

Today, after we (meaning the four adults and the eleven other students also going to the Inauguration) got out of the airplane we took a tram to go and get our luggage. Then my principal, Mr. Guidera got us each a Metro card. We next got into a Metro train. We were in the train for at least half an hour, riding on two trains. This is my first time being on a train! The trains were going very fast. We got on the Blue line and the Red line.

On the second train which I think was the Red line, a student fell back because the train was going so fast. Since she fell towards me I also fell and I was laughing along with a few other people who were laughing. My backpack and a few other things that were attached to me were so heavy I couldn't get up by myself.  I hope she has learned her lesson on keeping her balance.  

I experienced extremely cold weather. I also experienced my fingers being numb.

I am so thankful to Virgin America. The assistants were very nice, calm, and very patient.

I am very excited about going to Georgetown University and the US Capital tomorrow. We will have lots of fun and learn a lot about leadership.
