you're my rocket to the sky

push me out and see if i can fly.

Challenger Learning Center with the exchangers! Chris took lots of pictures. We were all pretty occupied. We had to conduct a mock space mission, "Rendezvous with a Comet", specifically comet Encke. So we were split into teams and had our own jobs to do. I was in MEDICAL TEAM. HAHA. Was pretty fun. Did tests and stuff to make sure everyone was healthy in space.


This astronaut was actually from Indiana.
He's been to space like 7 times.



Inside the Orbiter




I got blocked!
That's just half of us.
So in the middle of the mission, the navigation team (Bernard and Solayman) found an unidentified object and we decided to go for that instead of comet Encke and we discovered our own comet and named it Exchangers C'09! =D

After Challenger, some of us went for a movie. First movie in the cinemas in the US! They wanted to watch either Pink Panther 2 or The Uninvited, so you all know which I voted for. In the end it was a tie so we flipped a coin. Pink Panther 2 it is!
That's where you buy tickets.



And that's where you buy popcorn and stuff.

The inside is just like any cinema. It's free seating though.
Today after school, me, Elene, Solayman went to the library.
We walked.


and walked...



and reached! Haha, it's not that far actually. That's what the library looks like.


these four walls

Helloooo... is it me you're looking for? (8)
Aha. Anyway, here are some pics of Thomas A. Edison Junior Senior High School (:
Couldn't take that many pictures, was in a rush and didn't get all my classes but here's a few to settle your imagination for now (;

Hallway. Edison colours are red and black.

Some past students painted on the walls.


Supply room.

Guess I'm painting walls wherever I go!


Homeroom.




This is the only class where I sit at those kind of tables.
The rest are those where the table and chair are joined.

fayette street.
walking in a winter wonderland.


that's actually a frozen lake.

The day before Norman, Bernard and I started school, Chris took us to help out at her school, Evans Elementary.


This is the class i helped out in. Miss Pope's kindergarten class.


The school looks like that. Sorry no pics of my school yet, but it pretty much looks like that from the outside too.

That day the snow came up to 19 inches.
Later on in the day when we measured again, it was 23 inches.



We were sitting on snow.

Best students. haha xD
