Yeah. I SLEPT EARLY FOR ONCE.
Well, if you count midnight as early.
Aha.
If you wake up late the day of the field trip, that would just really suck. You have to wake up on time (for once) because what if you don't make it to school in time and the buses leave without you?
Exactly.
Except this is about the day before the field trip so it doesn't actually matter.
3. Take a Bio quiz.
Punnet squares are really fun. What if your bus crashes and you end up in some remote forest in the middle of nowhere? Now you have to live in the wild. How will you survive? Pea plants. Greg Mendel. You have to crossbreed your own pea plants to create optimal offspring that you can survive on for the next few hours before help arrives.
Duh.
IT'S SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST OUT THERE.
WHERE WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT YOUR PUNNET SQUARES?
4. Watch Internet Safety presentations in Software Apps.
It's a dangerous world.
People will cyber bully you while you're lost in the woods and surrounded by computer trees.
REMEMBER, SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.
5. Watch African song parodies.
What if you encounter an African tribe? What are you going to do?
You're probably really ignorant about African culture. Those songs. They could save your life.
6. Figure out the French Revolution
According to Hobbes (Not sure which philosopher it was, actually. Sorry Mr. Cohen.), people naturally resort to a really strong, absolutist government.
Like they'll choose structure over freedom.
In those hours of being lost in the forest, you'll eventually form your own society.
When a dictator comes to power, what do you do?
LEARN FROM THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
GUILLOTINES.
7. Pickleball
Pickleball is a really great pass time. When you're trying to survive out in the wild, those paddles and ball thingys can also be murder weapons. Who needs a bow and arrow when you have pickleball?
8. Bomb a math test.
In the wild, you will likely have to struggle through many problems, such as math tests.
You will also likely not know a bunch of concepts on the test because your teacher conveniently forgot to teach them .___.
Thanks, Dr. Agrawal, for preparing me for real life.
9. Build a car.
Using Inventor software, of course, which you can easily download on to one of the computers from the numerous clusters of computer trees.
Cars are a lot harder to build than you think.
It's really stressful trying to measure little tiny indentations and curves that are literally fractions of fractions of inches.
*DON'T FORGET YOUR HANDY-DANDY DIAL CALIPER*
IT'S A PRECISION MEASUREMENT TOOL, GREAT FOR MEASURING TINY CAR PARTS.
Not to mention, it's really pointy.
IT'S LIKE A RULER AND A KNIFE IN ONE.
10. Oh, and don't forget to pack the important stuff that you'll never use.
You know, like your student ID, lunch money, etc.
Basically, I'm very well-prepared for if our bus ends up stranded in the middle of nowhere (parts 1-9).
As for anything else, I'm kind of screwed.
Whoops.
