More on Chicago to come, promise. I was going to take this time I have before class to write about my visit to a Detroit Public School but the keyboard is so loud I can hardly stand to use it. Hold still and I'll most likely be back between classes to finish it up and hopefulyl on a different computer with a nice quiet keyboard.
Plus the girl next to me is looking at wedding dresses and it's giving me hives.

Okay, so it took me an entire day to get back to you, but what can you do?
So yesterday, I told you about going to a Detroit Public school. It was a pretty good experience once we got there, but it was the getting there that was the problem.
Sadly, I got up at 5 am. No one should have to get up that early. Ever. I made my way through my morning, even letting the dog out of his crate. He decided sleeping on my mom's bed after I left was a good idea. Luckily he didn't bother her, he just went back to sleep.
I arrived at EMU on some nice schedule and there was the bus sitting there waiting. I go on the bus and it turns out that it was another class waiting to go on their trip. This is the problem of course with having an internet class, it's like meeting everyone for the first time.
So I went up with another girl and asked the driver if he knew if there was another bus coming. He said there was, but I wasn't so sure. We got off the bus anyway, deciding to wait.
And wait.
And wait.
And.
Wait.
We were supposed to arrive at the school by 8 and it was after 7:45 at this point. There were a lot of us waiting so it's not like we were the few mistaken one. One guy called the teacher and she was in the process of giving us alternatives when the bus showed up. Finally. At 8:05.
Luckily the kids at the school were cool, the kids in my class were cool and I met some really nice people.
Thankfully.
