UC Goes to Boston!

Hey everyone! I have so much to tell you. It's been a busy week here at school, with the first club period on Monday, the Fall Pep Rally on Tuesday, and the PSAT Testing for
Sophomores and Juniors on Wednesday. I'll tell you all about that later, but first I need to fill you in on the Junior/Senior Trip!!

On Sunday night, at around 6:00pm, the three buses with UC students and chaperones returned home from a great weekend. I was so happy that I went, because I had an absolutely
amazing time with all of my friends and classmates. I'm definitely going to go on the trip next year, too!

Juniors, Seniors, and UC Faculty headed to Boston, Massachusetts after school on Thursday. We stopped and ate dinner at Dave and Buster's in the Palisades Mall in New York. I've
never been to a Dave and Buster's - it was so fun to go around and play whatever games we wanted after we ate. We finally arrived at our hotel at 11:00 that night. Rooms were
accomodated with 3 or 4 girls to a room, or 3 or 4 boys to a room. I barely unpacked that night because I was so tired and I knew that we had to get up early the next morning! On
Friday, we all ate breakfast together and then headed to Fenway Park. We got a special tour of the entire stadium. We even went on the Green Monster! Then we had some free time
to eat lunch and shop in downtown Boston. We got these lunch passes and could eat at any place that was on the pass. Later on, we had a dinner dance at our hotel. All the kids (and some of the faculty!) danced the night away. On Saturday, we took tours of Gloucester, Rockport, and Salem. Each bus had a tour guide with them, who gave us 3 cameras to take pictures with. We're all going to receive DVDs of our pictures! I can't wait to get it. (even though I took a million pictures of my own!) Sunday started a little solemn, only because none of us wanted to go home. We visited Boston College, went to mass there, and then headed on our way.

The entire weekend was a great way to bond with our friends. I definitely think it got me closer with my classmates, and even with the seniors on the trip too. Everyone got along and had a great time together.

Well, the week is finally over. I can't wait for the weekend so I can regroup and get myself back on track to finish off the marking period well!

Talk to you soon!
