​A couple weekends ago was the National Science and Engineering Festival. It's the biggest convention of science and engineering in the country, at least as far as I know. It happens every other year, and I go every time they have it. It's really great, being surrounded by all that science, it's just really awesome.

Last week was my school's spring break trip. I had a lot of fun on it last year, so I decided to go again this year.

Early Monday morning, my mom drove me over to the school's temporary location, where the students going on the trip were to meet up. There, we got on the clunky old school bus and started the long drive.
