After a full semester of our new club and a few months of experimenting and vlogging, I realized how my club members were starting to display some signs of fatigue from a repetitive schedule of planning the experiment, conducting it, reflecting, editing videos and repeating the steps over again.

Also, because of exam preparation for the third school quarter coming to an end, my club members were very exhausted and were ready to spend their upcoming spring break.

So! As a mini “treat” / new experience, I suggested to my club members, why not visit a science museum in a long time and retreat back to our childhood memories?

We went to the museum a total of three times.

Day 1:

During our first time, we went on a school day (Friday) after school. As the treasurer (Won) wasn’t available, the other executives (Toni, Rina, and I / Secretary, Vice President, and President) decided to briefly visit the museum so we wouldn’t get lost on our way there before the official field trip.

That was a pretty successful trip, and we had lots of fun, even though the visit was quite brief. We took many, MANY, amusing photos and ate dinner together (we had Pho because everyone was too starving to get back home).

Here are some photos of our first day:

Day 2:

During our second time, we tried to visit the museum after school on a Tuesday.

Since our school ends 40 minutes earlier on Tuesdays, we decided to meet up at the lobby right when school ends to go together.

Since Won (the male student on the left) was our club treasurer, we let him navigate our way to the museum. Even though we already had figured out the basic route to the museum, Won had already prepared and studied the route to the museum, so we followed him.

He found a different route than we did, so we rode a bus that headed to a different direction, and started walking.

Never did we know that we would have to walk AROUND an entire block while we could have ridden a bus that went straight through the block (how we went on day 1).

We ended up walking for almost an hour, and arrived at 4:52PM (entered the building at 5:00PM). Sadly enough, the ticketing place closed AT 5:00PM, so we could not purchase any tickets, nor could we enter the building itself.

We sadly walked out of the building and decided to cheer ourselves up with some McDonald’s on the way. While waiting for the bus to McDonald’s, we played a few games (including an absurd balance game, iSPY, and would you rather questions).

and.. some random pictures my friends took of me at McDonald’s.

Day 3:

Finally, on our third day, we went on an actual field trip!

We had to grab a date after spring break because we weren’t available till then..

So we decided to meet on a Saturday (everyone was all dressed up, it was so cute).

The vlog posted below contains our 2nd and 3rd day content. Hope you enjoy!

Oh! And tomorrow is our first day back to school. I can’t believe I’m almost a junior now.. WOW.

I started this blog when I was a teeny little freshman, and now I’m so old HAHAHAHA

Okay. Enjoy 🙂

Oh psst here are some photos from our field trip (our actual one)
