So I promised I’d post about my Cleveland trip, and now a week after getting back, I’m finally doing it.  I was going to post it over the weekend, but Saturday I was house cleaning, then Sunday I was sick with some headache thing that luckily is way better today.  Anyway…

So Wednesday we met at the airport at 5 o’clock, had layover in Denver for about 2 seconds, then we went to Cleveland.  We had dinner at this place called the Music Box, where we watched this guy named Dreadlock Dave perform.

Thursday we did some sight seeing, and then were going to play the anthem at the Indians game……but the game got rained out.  Instead, we went to Dave ‘n’ Busters, which was the lunch plan for the last day.

Friday we played in front of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, then we went in and looked around for a couple of hours(pics below).  They had The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in the same room, and this one kid was like, “Isn’t that like having Star Wars and Star Trek in the same room?” which is pretty true. There was also a 50th anniversary of Rolling Stone magazine exhibit.  In the gift shop they had a Paul and a John inductee shirt, and I bought both of them.  They also had shirts and mouse pads with 45 inserts on them, and I heard 3 different members of the band say “woah, it’s a fidget spinner”, and each time I had to correct them.  It became sort of a joke after that, calling the 45 inserts fidget spinners.

After the Hall, we went to see the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, which was pretty cool.

Saturday we went to Cedar point the whole day.  While there my friends and I combined money to buy our band teacher this gift.  The one of the workers saw us and thought it was super sweet then got super excited when she found out we were from Vegas, so she games us a 20% discount on the present.  I collected the money, which was in mostly ones, except for one of the kids who only had a 5.  I didn’t think to put it in order, because I don’t even put the money in my wallet in order unless I’m organizing it, so I left the 5 in the middle of the 6 ones.  When I gave the money to the lady she started counting it, and when she got to the 5, she broke down and stopped functioning.  She goes, “WHY DID YOU GIVE ME THIS????  WHAT DO I DO???? WHAT DO I DO!!???”  Another cashier had to come over to show her that she could just skip the 5 and count the ones underneath, then count the 5.  Although she got upset with me and took back all the nice stuff she said about us just from me.  Then she told me I wasn’t allowed back in the store, but I went back in at the end of the day and no one kicked me out.  The rest of the day was basic amusement park fun.

Sunday was the aquarium where we saw a bunch of fishies.  At the end of the shark exhibit there was a board where you could write your feelings about sharks, so I wrote this.

Then I saw this in the gift shop and thought of @Beatlebug

After that we went bowling as our replacement lunch since we did Dave ‘n’ Busters in place of the Indians game.  It was a bit funny, because the next day I had a date where we went bowling.

Then we headed back to Vegas.  We had layover in Chicago for enough time to have dinner.  I got this pizza or “flat bread”.  I paid $16 for it.  It came in a normal pizza box, about 13″ x 13″.  When I opened the box, all that was in there was this strip of pizza that barely filled 1/3 of the box. And it wasn’t just me that got jiped, everybody else that went there got the same thing.  Anyway, we finally got to Vegas at like 9.

Other things in my life include the end of my senior year.  Friday we had our grad walk around the school, or as I like to call it “The Great Senior Cattle Drive”  It’s basically the band doing a cattle drive with the seniors around the school.  This year I was the cattle though.  Also this girl that I used to have a huge crush on Freshman year(and the end of 8th grade year), came up and wanted to take a picture with me.    I’ve mentioned that I’ve gone to ice cream with her a couple times on this forum, so it’s not that surprising, but it is kinda funny.  Then today was my last full day of school.  The last 3 days(or 2 if you’re a senior… like me) of school are half days where we take exams.  Although, if you’re a senior with only 4 periods you only get out 7 minutes earlier than usual so the half days aren’t that exciting for me.

Oh no! I’m so sorry! My spoiler done broke. That was completely unintentional, and it should be fixed now.

Also good luck to you @meanmistermustard. Also it’s called heads up seven up!

@Ahhh Girl said
I really meant @William Shears Campbell stupid autocorrect.  

I figured.

@AppleScruffJunior it’s heads up seven up. Just like how honor, color, favor, and other similar words don’t have a U.

Today is the first of 3 exam days, although seniors don’t have to go the third day, because most have only 4 classes, and the ones who have more took their 5th and 6th period exams yesterday. Today I have English, which is just a bunch of cold reads, and I have Band, which is, “The same test we’ve taken 1 to 7 times”.

No, it’s called “Seven Up” (that’s what we call it)!

Why “seven up” when both of your thumbs are pressed down in the game? That leaves 8 fingers remaining so where is the seven coming from? Seems a daft complicated name for a game?  

mmm, whenever I’ve played the game, the seven referred to the number of people pressing down thumbs.
