Hola

I am back from two DC trips all in the span of two weeks.

You heard me

TWO.

And they were both amazing C:

The first DC trip was for Rolling Thunder. For those who don't know what it is, it's a public demonstration in Washington DC that honors and remembers POW's and MIA's (Prisoners of War, Missing in Action.) Being in the parade with over 600,000 motorcycles was extremely powerful, and over 2 million total showed up for Rolling Thunder. The message was clear- "bring them home."

The second one was literally right after the first trip, but this trip was for my school. We got a tour of all the monuments, saw the front of the White House, and saw the MLK and the WWII memorials. We also witnessed the changing of the guard, and, my favorite part-

Seeing a line of WWII Veterans coming from seeing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

I nodded at one of them.

He winked at me.

I cried tears of joy.

The trip home from DC was fun, especially when the time changed from 2:19 to 2:20 PM.

At 2:20 school lets out but we were still on the road. So we were all cheering on the bus just like, "Yaaay! OMG We're freshman! Ermahguuuurd!"

So yeah. We're freshmen now. And I am scared to DEATH. Like, seriously, WHERE did the school year go?!

It's been a long couple of weeks, and I have to say, they were both exhausting and amazing at the same time. It feels good to sleep in my own bed again :D

I hope that this summer, I will be more active in RP's and writing on WFW. And I sincerely hope that you all have had a good last few days of school, and have a fantastic summer! :D

BC out~
