| So I went on a field trip for my geography class today. It was one of the surrealest days of my life. Details to follow... The last few paragraphs are the most interesting. So we met in the parking lot at fucking 9 am. And I went to bed at 3 or 4 last night so I was exhausted. My geography prof was telling his dumb jokes as usual, and I was like you've got to be kidding me. Because who can tell stupid jokes at the crack of dawn? So then we were about to take off, but we were carpooling and me and the other people I was riding with were like "um our ride's not here." And our prof was like "oh, that's too bad." But then some other guy gave us a ride. So then we drove like an hour before pulling over randomly to the side of the road. And that was when the fun began. So apparently we drove an hour to look at a stupid hill, that looked exactly like the hills in Mt Pleasant. Either before or after that we stopped at a cherry orchard for some reason. I don't know what it had to do with geography. So then we drove more to a park with a river, which was kind of nice. Until we went into the forest to look at the river. I'm not sure why. There was no trail or anything. I mean I like rivers, in fact I love them but not when its cold and 10 in the morning. So then we drove more and I think the next stop was McDonalds. Why the fuck we went there I'll never figure out. But we stopped there. I hate Mcdonalds but managed to drink some coffee. And then we left but one group of people got left behind. Someone went back but couldn't find them. And then we stopped at some other random spot at the side of the road, for some other random geographical reason. I had stopped paying attention at that point. And then we went to beach, which was kind of trippy and cool. We were by lake michigan apparently, at least we must have been cause I couldn't see the shore. At that point I was so tired my vision was going weird, so I watched the colors float across the endless lake for awhile. Or it might have the sky. It was hard to tell. I was wondering if maybe our professor was gonna kill us all and throw our bodies in the lake. Because it kind of seemed like it. Then we went to the dunes I think, which was also trippy. Because you walked up these stairs thru the trees and all of a sudden you are on top of a dune and all you can see is sand. Its like being in the desert. And then if you climb another dune you can see lake. So I'm not sure why we went to the dunes but people were offroading and it was amusing so I watched them. After that stop for some reason we stopped at this podunk little market thingy ran out of someones garage. As we pulled in I was like "What the fuck?!" But then it dawned on me that this was where the mass murder would occur. Because at that point I was convinced I would not make it back alive. And the lady that ran it was talking about fucking cherry trees and their geographicness and I was like "Am I actually here listening to this?" Because I didn't know where the fuck I was or anything and it was all very strange. Everyone I talked to agreed. It was pure madness. But I got a cookie. Then we went to a lighthouse, which was thankfully our last stop. So we were obvioulsly at a beach again. And I couldn't see the opposite shore of that one either. So the prof talked about the shore or some shit, then he was numbering this piece of paper we had to sign to verify our prescence. He was numbering it I'm sure just to make us wait. So he was numbering and talking with a pen cap in his mouth. And some kid standing next to him was like "What the hell are you saying?" Which about summed up the day. The ride back was fucking bizarre, mostly because we got lost about a million times. At one point a saw an amish guy with his horse and carriage tied up, selling things under an overpass. It was one of the weirder things I saw today. Which is quite a feat. IF you're reading this, I salute you random amish dude. So I finally got back to my dorm at like 5. I emptied the sand out my shoes and my conciousness but I didn't get it all out. I'll be tracking it all over eternity now. Sorry if I get it on your carpet. so that's my story. Actually I forgot a part. One of the guys was still drunk probably from the night before. And we was driving but luckily no one was with him. But we think also he was kind of a psycho or something. At one point he was behind us and he was swerving so we swerved to make fun of us and he almost rearended us. Also he had a knife and was playing with it at the dunes. It was creepy. But other than that he was nice. The end. |
