Monterey Bay Aquarium!

Anyways, it was SO much fun today! Sucks that Courtney didn't go. But basically, during the bus ride, I was sitting next to Meghan and we were talking to David (Pray), Voloshko, Tom (Ash), and Allie, and we were having really random conversations. Like, about how Pine Valley sucks (David) and how apparently we're Iron "Whores" (Meghan).
Then we stopped at Morgan Hills (Safeway/Burger King). I got some hash brown bites, and fries from Burger King, and was almost late to the bus. BK's service is SO FRICKIN SLOW! It took the 5 workers there like, ten minutes to get Voloshko his cheeseburger and chocolate shake. I mean seriously! How can it take five people ten minutes to make a burger and fill a cup?! But anyways, the hash browns were hecka good, and the fries too. Woke me up right away. Then I stole some of Meghan's Starbursts. XD
Afterwards, we just went to Monterey, but we stopped at Lover's Point first. I took tons of pictures; the scenery is awesome there! It was hilarious though, because half the people went down to the "shoreline" but then whenever the tide came in, it'd come straight at us, so we'd all scream and jump up on the rocks. XD There's this ledge you have to cross, which is pretty good for taking photos, but it's pretty high up and kind of scary. o.o
Then we got dropped off in Monterey, and I hung out with Kevin and Brendan. We found all of the extra credit places first, and took photos there, then on our way to the aquarium, we took some random pictures at random places that we just thought were cool.
The actual aquarium was AWESOME! There were tons of fish (obviously), and some were hecka bright! Then they had these HUGE fish which were probably like, three feet long. They had jellyfish, eels, seahorses, crabs, sea cucumbers, kelp, starfish, penguins, and SEA OTTERS! The sea otters were ADORABLE!!! I wanted to go over and just squeeze them to death. So the aquarium was hella cool, and even their re-entry stamp is awesome! It's basically a stamp that you can only see under a black light. Kevin, Brendan, and I all got stamped, and since you can't see it with the naked eye (unless it's really bright, then you can sort of see the outline), we were like, "Uh... *dot dot dot*," then the employee was like, stick your hand under the light, and we did, and we all went , "WHOA!" It was rather funny.
Then we went to Bubba Gump's for lunch, and their shrimp is hecka good! Yum. =D We went to "Candyland" before, but didn't buy anything, and I was going to get taffy afterwards, but we ran out of time. Speaking of Candyland, they had these beaded bracelets with names on them, and Kevin bought one for *cough* the girl he used to stalk *cough* (if you know who that is), and then he started getting all wimpy and loser-ish, and was all like, "Oh, I don't like her," "I'm not going to give it to her," etc. Then both Brendan and I were just like... "What a wimp..." Haha.
Then afterwards, I got one of those pressed penny things, and I have a sea otter on mine! =) Then I had to run back to the bus, and I sort of got lost on the way back, so Brendan had to show me where the buses were. XD
I fell asleep on the ride back, so I don't remember much from that. I literally got on the bus, and like, conked out within ten minutes.

Then I had to go take my math test, which was okay, but I still think I failed it. It was funny, because Mrs. Turbeville had a meeting, and apparently she doesn't trust me, because she was all like, "So if you have your book, you can't open it, and you can't use your notes either..." Well duh. It's a TEST. Lol.
And I suck at Colorguard. That's all I'm going to say.
