I`m With the Council

     Before I begin this post, I think I should tell you that I`m doing this because I can`t watch the JB movie with my pals. My mom said this was a good alternative.
     Well, today I decided that I have been on a lot of field trips lately ( 3 in the last 2 weeks ). I have to admit that one of them was just because I`m cooler than everyone and I`m on the Student Council ( notice how I capitalized Student Council. It`s kind of big deal.) I`m just kidding. That is exactly what I learned not to do on the Student Council field trip.
     My first fieldtrip was okay. Well, it was good, but kind of a disappointment. We were going to the Hogle Zoo. You know, I`ve always wondered why it was called that, but, you know. Anyway, before we went to the zoo, we had to go to this performence at Kingsberry Hall. We went to see the performence of "Blast". It was fun, and my friend Kambree believes that she found true love, ( apparently she thought one of the drummers was worthy of being one`s true love) but that cut our time short at the zoo. We only had about an hour to eat lunch AND look at all the wildlife. But, luckily, our chaperone let us just run loose because Bailey had her phone handy. But, this led to Bailey taking charge and rushing us through the whole zoo. Oh well.
     My second fieldtrip was much better, and the inspiration to my post-title. This was my Student Council fieldtrip. It all started when I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and drove to the school at 6:30. Yup. We were on a bus for the sunrise. I guess it made sense, because we had to drive all the way to BYU, but still, 6:30? Really? Anyway this fieldtrip was like a Student Council convention. There were Student Council members everywere! It was great. The best part was the little compitition we had with all the other schools. We had to go around and trade our school stickers with other schools. I am proud to say that our school got 2nd place.
Woot woot. But the best part of that whole activity, was finding out Uintah`s mascot....unicorns. They were the Uintah Unicorns. Yeah.
     Other than that, all we did all day was listen to speeches. It was awesome. We learned all about setting goals, using your popularity wisely, and not acting cool just because you`re on the council. The best speaker by far was John Bytheway. It was fantastic. He told us to say no to asphault, and to stay away from things that kill you. He also talked about when he gave his kidney to his brother.
     The last fieldtrip was also a disappointment. The teachers refused to tell us where we were going until the day of the fieldtrip, because when they do, everyone is just throwing assignments in theie faces, because they don`t want missing assignments. ( if you have missing assignments, you can`t go on the fieldtrip) I don`t understand why they didn`t just get their work done in the first place. So anyway, we were all pumped for the fieldtrip and then we found out that we were going to some Veterans Day program. It was cool, but not what we expected. All we did was listen to people talk. And it wasn`t funny like the people at the Student Council fieldtrip. Plus, Mrs. Ohrenburger ( a 6th grade teacher at my school ) kept getting mad at us, because she did not like it even if we let out a peep.
     Anyway, my point is, well, I actually don`t have a point. I just like fieldtrips. And by that I mean, I like fieldtrips more than most people do. But by that I also mean, I like fieldtrips more than I like most people. ( I was just kidding, Abbie is probably the only person who is going to get that reference. Oh well)
