pearl_o: I have a fucking field trip this week.
pearl_o: Because I am apparently in 4th grade and no one told me.
pearl_o: I am going to be gone all of Wednesday and Thursday to go and sleep in a cabin on the cold rainy beach

estrella30: noooooooooooo!!

pearl_o: where we will not do anything we could not be doing at school
pearl_o: and has nothing to do with Russia, exactly
pearl_o: except that the professors thought it would be cool.

estrella30: wow
estrella30: uhm, fun?

pearl_o: *sniffles*
pearl_o: No internet! Stuck being around all these people!

estrella30: omg!
estrella30: the horror!

pearl_o: four hour car ride each way!

estrella30: its terrible
estrella30: gah
estrella30: holy fuck
estrella30: dude

pearl_o: and there's nothing there but, like, nature.
pearl_o: Like I care about the washington state beach.
pearl_o: or hiking or whatever the fuck.

estrella30: you're a stronger woman than I

pearl_o: *sigh*
pearl_o: Maybe I'll manage to write porn during the boring bits.

pearl_o: *grins*
pearl_o: well, like, the schedule they gave us?
pearl_o: it's like 1pm, arrive at La Push
pearl_o: 1 - 1.30, unload in cabins
pearl_o: 1.30 - 5: free time: explore the beaches and forests
pearl_o: Why do we need a field trip for me to walk around in the rain for three hours?

pearl_o: and then on Thursday before we leave we have "beach time" for two hours
pearl_o: which, I don't know if you've ever been on the NW coast

estrella30: feh

pearl_o: but it's generally cold and rainy and in like, the 50s, in July.

pearl_o: bah.

Wow, that sounds like it sucketh mightily.

Definitely bring a notebook! Write us porn when you're bored!

Sigh. I'll try, my darling. I'm sure it'll be more interesting than the trees.

Seconded.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'll keep that under consideration.

*looks worried about you*

Two whole days away from me?

Just before I'm leaving for two days for the con?

Cannot cope!

KEEP ME IN YOUR SUITCASE.

*clings*

awww, ain't estrella cute when she pretends to have interest in nature? pssst, E, dear, "nature" usually involves things like "wearing sneakers." You might want to rethink that.

1.30 - 5: free time: explore the beaches and forests
"beach time" for two hours

pearl, lemme translate: "HOURS AND HOURS YOU CAN SPEND WRITING PORNY PORN PORN PORN."

Estella would never let *facts* get in the way of an opportunity to mock me!

Sigh. Porn. We can only cross our fingers.

Field trips aren't really a fourth-grade thing; they're just not usually a humanities thing. Granted, I like nature and geo field trips still make me want to die. When I go nature-exploring on my own, I can flee the cold and rain. When I'm on a field trip, I get graded on crawling over muddy outcrops in the snow.

Erm.

But my field trip at SRC to see that awful production of The Scarlet Letter was rather amusing.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It was less the fact of a field trip at all than the completely pointless nature of it that made me go on a big whining fit. Um, that and the overnightness, as opposed to, you know, going to town and doing something for an hour.
