Part 1: Of all The gin joints...

And bars in the world..They had to chose mine.





I mean,





Of all the OOs and Persuasives in the country, they had to chose mine. As you know I went to Nats. I didn't really stand a chance, but It was a whole lot of fun. But rather than hogging them all up, I better get to posting memories.





So.....Day One





Like I said- Of all IE's cross country, they had to chose mine. Though mine was a thematic. Anyway. That is depicted elsewhere, but it hadn't really sank in yet.





In fact, It hadn't sank in until I got to Texas...or even the campus...But I'm skipping ahead.





We went down to Oakland with our Grandparents the day before our flight. On the way down Jonah and I quizzed each other on history. I think I won, as he weaseled out after we came out of the restaurant and tried to go with our grandparents.





I think we had a bunch of memories at the Hotel, but I can't remember. I remember there were a bunch of partyers that kept me and my mom up until at least 2:30. They were loud. REALLY LOUD. We would'dve gone next door and told them to shut up, but it was Oakland, and my mom always worrys about somone brandshing a gun :" Hi, I was wondering If you guys could pipe it down a litt-*BLAM* AUGH!" She even wrries about someone grabbing a gun from the glove comaprtment if we make a face out the car window. (NOTE: We do NOT homeschoole because columbine, as is a large misconception. My mom is just strange sometimes) They screamed...Loudly..Very loudly. Extremely loudly....





Jonah was disturbed by it also, but sleep overtook him and soon enough my mom. They also 'whoo'ed and 'woo-hooed', but here elaboration ends. As that that carried on until two or three, The first day melted into the second. I think I slept, too. I still can't remember
