A Great Time

January 17, 2009

This is where we went today. We will see Obama sworn in here Tuesday and also get to see a very important speech.

After being here for the second day, I have had a great time! Today we went to Georgetown University and the tour guide showed us around the school. We first looked into a classroom that had a projector on the ceiling, but the classroom looked very old. We also learned what a Hoya is; it means "what rocks." We also saw this eagle that was made out of tiles in front of Healy Hall. There is a myth that if you stand on it, you will not be able to graduate in four years. So you will have to stay at college for another year at least.

After leaving Georgetown we went to Capital Hill and we saw the US Capital Building where they make laws. We also saw the Supreme Court were they test the laws. For example, recently people in California voted yes so gay people won't get married (prop 8). If you are gay, you can take it to the Supreme Court and they will deal with it, maybe they will find the law to be unconstitutional.

The last place we went to is the Air and Space Museum. I loved it because I got to see all types of old planes. I thought some of the planes looked fake or like models because the frames looked like plastic. We also got to look at all the instruments that are in a plane. Being there was especially great for me because I am thinking about being a pilot!
