I just came back an hour ago from my field trip to "Drexel University"! It was pretty fun but not for the actual university itself, more so the time I spent while being driven to the location. Anyway, let me start from the very beginning. At 5:30 A.M I woke up and went downstairs to take a shower. I refused to not take a shower and an important day like this. I also refused to wear the same shirt for more than 4 days. You see, from Monday to Thursday I've worn the same school uniform T-Shirt and now it's really starting to stink. Especially, after playing Soccer yesterday. Thankfully, I have a 2nd spare in case the first one doesn' fit. At 6:50 A.M a taxi came outside my house and I got in it. Apparently, my mother had called one of her friend's to pick me up and take me to school. That way I wouldn't have to worry about being late.
At the school, only one other kid was there and she came at the exact same time. After 10 minutes another group of students came to greet us and but one of them didn't have their school uniform. However, the student also had a spare just in case and walked over to the bathroom and changed. Sooner or later most of the kids arrived, about 2 kids didn't come. I wonder why this happened but then again maybe their parents wouldn't let them attend. So I'm happy that my father did. At 7:45 A.M everyone handed in their field trip permission slips and started heading inside the bus. I played with my friend on his phone a game called, "Ride Ahead" and "Bowmasters". After a while he downloaded another app called, "Superhuman Fight Club" and we played that as well.
But the thing that really made us enjoy the trip to the university was when one of my classmates who also got to come let us use his "Nintendo Switch". He had "Pokken" and even "Mario Odyssey" (however we didn't play that as much as Pokken. If you look above that was the machine he let us use, the "Nintendo Switch". Finally, after 2 hours we arrived at "Drexel University" and I saw a little bridge that connected two of the buildings together. I'd assumed that they were part of the campus and was right after a bit of looking. Inside of the entrance building, everyone was supposed to receive a T-Shirt from the workers and then head inside of the auditorium. I was overwhelmed to see just how many people were in that room. About 3 other schools were with us!
Then again, if add it all up the number of students were probably only around 120. That's because the university didn't want too many kids in their buildings because it might distract the people who are taking classes and studying to find a career in life. I completely understood and enjoyed the little speech that two of the former "leaders" of the school made. One of them seemed to be the boss of the other but seemed to be pretty chill. I liked the way he talked and his attitude as well. Every school had to separate their students into two little groups. Then, each group would go to a different "workshop". In all honesty, I expected like a huge room filled with tons of seats, a college-level classroom. However, we just stayed in some type of lobby.
The first "workshop" that my group went to was about "Sound and What we Hear". I liked the old woman who taught us for that 40 minute period. Unfortunately, I felt a little bad for her when she tried to be funny. But she was a really nice lady and talked in a nice manner. The woman let us create our own groups and head to one of the three stations. Each station had a little section that would have something to do with Sound. I can't really explain them, but do know that after participating in this workshop I felt a lot better about myself. The other "workshop" was being presented to us by two students at the university. And they did a pretty good job, each of them talked about magnetism and added on to each other's points. Tomorrow I'll talk more about it.
