Today was an early day for me. I woke up at 6am and then had to wait in a long line to register for the School Without Walls. I was outside for about 10 minutes because the line was so long it went out the door. Then 20 minutes in I find out I am in the wrong line for last names. That was about another 20 minutes before I was registered and signed in. The test itself was not to bad but the math was a bit difficult. I also had other people with me there.
Before my dad dropped me off he told me I would take the metro home. I was surprised; but I am 13 and I remembered he may want to see if I can take the metro if I want to go out because I am a teenager. I walked about 2 blocks which was not bad to get to Foggy Bottom even though it is cold. Then I looked on the map to see how to get home. I really loved taking the metro, the train more specificly. I just feel content when I am on the train and being in the train station. Taking the train by myself was so much fun.
One day sometime soon I am just going to go to all the metro stops even if I am not going there for something. I want to ride all the way to Wheaton and all of the other places. I would like to do this with $100 in my pocket and friends with me so I can occupy myself. One thing that I am excited about is going to Duke Ellington one Monday through Thursday and I get to take metro home!!!!!! I get to ride home for 4 days on the metro by myself which I think is awesome. I may even stop by Chipotle to get me some dinner on my way home.
Besides the metro riding home, I am nervous for Monday. Everytime I try to think it is far away I realize that it is right around the corner. I need to pick out my clothes tomorrow and pep talk myself. I think that maybe I should go to Sweet Lobby and get some cupcakes to help me feel a little better. Maybe 3, one for today tomorrow and Monday.
I will keep trying to have longer post. I may even blog again tonight but until next time,
Mattie.
