PACIFIC
BEACH, Calif. (BP)--Today began our second leg of the trip.
We got up early, loaded up the bus, and traveled ten and a
half-hours from San Diego to Yosemite National Park. It was
sort of a rough morning because my roommates didn’t
wake me up till ten minutes till we were told to be ready
to go. I got up, jumped in the shower, frantically packed
up my stuff, and ran out the door only to be told that they
postponed our departure by an hour.
The rest of the morning was great. I got to
lay back and completely relax. Occasionally, I caught a few
lids, but this lead to my second sleeping incident. Apparently,
we stopped for lunch along the way, but I was dreaming by
that point. No one remembered to wake me up, and by the time
they did realize they were minus one member, lunch was over.
Luckily, our chaperone went back and got me a couple slices
of pizza before we left.
The hardest part of the day came with our
daily assignments. It was my turn to write a news story about
the Coastlands Community Church. Janie Jo and I had interviewed
the pastor, Evan Lauer, yesterday, and now it was time for
me to get to work. I didn’t think writing would be as
hard as it was, but actually I had some trouble. It’s
harder than it seems to make everything flow, find the right
quotes and place them in the right places, and just put your
thoughts into words. In the end, I had a story I was proud
of and that was presentable, so in a way I defeated my one
challenge of the day.
