As some of you already know, I had to go on a field trip for my Geology class. My lab section went yesterday, with some other sections. The field trip brought us to the Rock Hill quarry in Essex county, NJ and to Orchard Beach in the Bronx.

We were informed on Thursday during lab that we had to be at Queens College no later than 7:45am. Charter buses would be leaving promptly at 8am. Brian and I left his place around 6:15am so that we would have enough time to sit down and have breakfast at a diner near campus. I got to campus at 7:45 and no one else was there except for me, all the lab instructors, and the buses. Within 5 mins, most of the students arrived and we were able to board the buses. After we boarded, the driver decided to spray bathroom spray in the bus (he couldn't do that *before* we boarded??) We ended up leaving around 8:15am.

Field Trip Part the 1st: )

I got back to the bus around 11:45. We ate our lunches on the bus (I brought a Tuna sandwich from Subway...mmmmm) and at Noon we started heading to Orchard Beach in the Bronx! Woohoo!!

Field Trip Part the 2nd: )

Brian came and got me and then we ended up going to Friendly's for dinner. Nom nom nom...

All in all a good day. My legs still ache though...

Weekend!

I had a really awesome weekend. On Saturday, Brian and I flew a kite at Cedar Beach, had ice cream at McNutly's Ice Cream Parlor (which I hadn't been to since HS), and watched Kick-Ass. The movie was really good, very bloody, and soooo not for children (at least one 4/5 year old saw the movie from my mom's previous class...WTF).

On Sunday, Brian, [livejournal.com profile] alorarose, [livejournal.com profile] kradical, Wrenn, and I went to the NY Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, NY. The last time Brian and I were there was back in 2007. We decided to caravan, so Brian, Danielle, and myself travelled in Brian's car and went to Keith and Wrenn's place, where we then followed them to I-87 and then we took over as lead of the caravan the rest of the way (because we knew how to get to the Ren Faire from there).

We saw Hey Nunnie Nunnie, Stewart and Arnold (knife throwing show), Birds of Prey show, and Wolgemut!! So full of awesome! There a lot of new stuff there and they rearranged some things and added a new building. We bumped into Ste and Lorraine and her son Jeremy, so we hung with them for a bit before branching off.

We headed back to Keith and Wrenn's and Keith showed us the quite hilarious Roast of him that was done last year at Shore Leave. We were all in stitches. We headed home afterwards and got back around Midnight. All in all a great day!

Today was a lazy day. Brian and I loafed around till 2:30 when we decided we should get lunch, so we finally tried the Denny's that opened in Centereach. Brian ahd never eaten at a Denny's before. He is now a convert. LOL! After that, we headed to his folks so I could pick up my new laptop battery, which is charging right now, so that my laptop no longer dies after only a half hour. Huzzah! This is also the upgraded battery, so it will no longer lay flat. Hopefully this won't pose a problem for having it in my backpack. We shall see tomorrow.
