It is definitely March Madness and it’s not just because of basketball. There are so many things happening in my state, in my school, in my classroom and in my house. Sometimes I wonder how anything gets done.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Mayer and I met with our students and their parents for one final meeting. It went really well and we were able to answer every question and get small details out of the way….like signing the no-alcohol agreement, collecting tip money for our bus driver and tour guide, deciding on how many Euros to bring with us and paying for a motel in Minneapolis the night before our flight. You might wonder why we would want to pay more money to spend one night at a motel. Well, this is why. We have to be at the airport at 4:00 a.m. Yes…I said 4 a.m. Our flight leaves at 6:00 a.m. and we live 4 hours from the airport. We will be traveling for 24 hours and I don’t know about you, but I need sleep. We figured it would be smarter to spend the extra money so that we wouldn’t have to leave our town at midnight and then break down or something on the way.
At this particular moment, I don’t know if we are being dropped off or if we are driving ourselves to Minneapolis. I know I’m praying for being dropped off because if we drive ourselves, that means I have to drive four hours back home on the day we land. Not sure I’ll be up to that. I’ve only been on a plane once in my life and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. It was a little puddle jumper kind of plane and the landing made me sick. I am hoping my recent visit to the doctor for a patch will keep that from happening this time. I’ve practiced riding on a bus and reading in the car and I didn’t get sick….so keep your fingers crossed.
Well…this is where we are…30 days out and getting more and more excited. Still trying to figure out how to pack…I realized I need to go shopping. I don’t have enough clothes to pack for 14 days. Ok…yes, I have enough clothes, just not ones I like. I am a girl after all.
Until next time!
