A 4 Day Weekend

I’ll be having a 4-day weekend in a few days. On Friday, along with 39 other CHS MUN Sophomore delegates, we are traveling to UC Davis for the Davis MUN Conference. It’s going to be a long 7 hour bus ride in a charter bus but it is going to be fun. This will be the first long distance conference for most of us. We are staying at a brand new Hyatt hotel that was just built in 2009. I looked at the pictures and was impressed. HDTV’s in every room, free wi-fi, complimentary breakfast, and a lot more cool features. Conference will run til Sunday afternoon and I will not be coming back with my school. Instead, I’m heading down to Berkeley, where my cousin will be graduating on Monday. This weekend is going to be a fun one but I have to get all my homework done! I must be at school on Tuesday as I have to present 2 projects and have a chem test on Tuesday. But it’ll be a nice 4-day getaway….

I took one of these graduation trips in May of 2008 as during Memorial Day weekend of that year, I took 2 days off school and went on a 5-day east coast trip to Boston, Providence, and New York. My cousin graduated from Brown and we went to Providence. I caught a Red Sox game before that and it was a fun game. The Red Sox hit 2 grand slams and we still got to see their closer pitch. After Providence, we went to New York for a night. I saw yankee and shea stadium that were both demolished to accommodate the new ballpark. I still remember fondly of my trip 2 years ago. It was fun and exhilarating.
