May Long Weekend

This year's Geography 12 trip was to Portland, Oregon from the 17th to 20th of May. It was really exciting because it's been a long time since the last time I was a way from home and oddly, I've been craving the feeling. We left school bright and early at 7:30 Thursday morning. There was a lot of bus riding time and it was really boring and annoying because I never really fell asleep on the bus. We visited the Museum of Flight and Microsoft in Redmond, Washington; Mt St Helens Visitor Centre, the Johnston Observatory, and Ape Caves in the Kelso area; and shopping malls in Oregon. Lots of bus riding, Korean drama watching, junk food/ fast food eating, and tax free shopping.

Shopping was a little disappointing because we were always tight on time (except at Woodburn) and I was with Jess and Erin. It was a little awkward shopping with them because I didn't really know where I wanted to go myself and where they wanted to go either. We mainly ended up hitting H&Ms and F21s everywhere. Clothes wise, I only found two pairs of jean shorts and a bra and bandeau. On the bright side, I found my prom dress at F21 for $34.80!! If you're wondering what it looks like, its two posts down. :D I 'm really happy with it and it's quite versatile so I don't think I will have a problem finding a time to rewear it.

Overall, Geo trip was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with people I don't usually chill with and it was cool. Food was pretty good too and I didn't end up spending all that much. A plus was that the trip got majority of the bus hooked on City Hunter, a Korean drama. Reagan brought the dvd set and I think we spent a total of like 14 hrs or something watching. and 95% of the people who were interested went home and watched the last 6 eps before school on Tuesday. I finished on Wednesday night and was a little disappointed because of the rushed ending. Overall though, I was really content with the drama. It's got a little bit of everything I like. Action, hot guys, nice cars, cheesy drama romance, etc. I'm a little obsessed. Lee Minho the main character, is pretty drool worthy  though. ;)
