Just so you know, this event happened on November 8th. Sorry if this seems like a repeat of the last post I posted. Anyway, on that Saturday, I had to wake up at 6:20 in the morning, I think, and we went to McDonald's for breakfast. I had a Sausage Biscuit and a hash brown thingy and we waited for my scout leader and another scout. When every one got there, we headed to the Baylor campus.
My first class was at the Baylor Science Building, (A.K.A: The B.S.B.), so that's where we went first. At the B.S.B., I got a badge for coming there. We also started to figure out where we needed to go and when we needed to get there. My first class was Citizenship in the Nation, my second one was Citizenship in the World, and my third was Communications. I ended up having the same classes as my friend Ty White, so we stayed together throughout the day. When we were all done, we went to the Citizenship in the Nation room.
The room was set up like a movie theater, so I was surprised and excited. Then, my Dad told me that at colleges, they are set up like that. I wondered if there were going to be any other classes that were set up like a theater. When the class started, we watched a power point on a huge screen. The screen was far away so I couldn't see that well however. We were told by the leader to bring next week a stamped envelope, so I wrote that down on my notes. We learned about the constitution, what a citizen is, and what does it mean to have citizenship. When the class was over, we headed to our next one, Citizenship in the World.
Here is a picture of me and Ty in our seats:
At the next class, that had very nice chairs that you could tip back in and not break. At first, we talked about what happens in the world that affects us all. Then, ( like the first class ), the leader brought down a projection screen and we went to some websites about different causes and organizations. The sign out front said that there was no food or drinks allowed except for water, so I was bummed that I couldn't eat anything while we went to these websites. We were shown a lot of different organizations that I didn't know about. About a hour and 15 minutes later, we were finished and we went to the next merit badge class, Communications.
On the way to the next building, we had something to eat out of my backpack. Then, we had a very hard time finding the classroom Ty and me were supposed to be in. We actually ended up going down the wrong hall and we had to go the opposite direction. I am just glad we made it there on time. We started out listing all the different ways of communicating. Then, we had to try and persuade the counselor to buy a product we were trying to get him to buy. I decided to go with lawn care service because I had been watering the lawn for a while. I ended getting him to buy my product and so did everyone else. At the end, we ended up with a lot of homework to do. ( I actually didn't start it till the next Tuesday, so I was spending a lot of time on it between Tuesday and Saturday. Sorry. ) Finally, it was all over and I was tired and ready to go somewhere to eat.
We headed back to the Baylor Science Building to meet up with everyone and then leave to get lunch. When we all met, Ty realized that he dropped his badge somewhere and was going to go find it. He didn't find it though, and the extras actually costed money. That stunk for him. Then, me and Dad left and went to Carl's Jr. for a burger and onion rings and to a convenience store for a soda. It tasted really good and I couldn't wait to get home. I also hoped I would be done with everything before the next Saturday.
