Eating frozen lemonades, waiting in lines, taking in the sun, riding numerous rides with a huge group of friends, keeping your distance when watching the whale show… this can only mean one thing: field trip to Marine World! This isn’t just an ordinary trip to the theme park, no, it’s one with about 150 students from physics, marine biology and AVID classes.
Now that I’ve given you some of the background, let me fill you in on how the day went, starting with leaving school. Getting on the bus was its own surprise: the aroma of eggs filled the bus as we found our seats. It could be because the bus travels to so many different places each day that the smells overlap each other and stink. Eventually we got used to it and the hour and a half ride wasn’t that bad. The excitement was building up in us until we got there and found out we had to grab an worksheet for physics or marine bio. Let’s hold up here a minute, I’m not sure what you think, but I’m not used to going to a theme park and filling out worksheets on the animals, including the whale show. As we continued into the park, we decided to start the day with a bang: one word, MEDUSA. We immediately went into the line, waiting in line in the sun as the temperature rose.
