today i went on a field trip with my criminal justice class to a law school. overall, it was freaking fun! it was a good day (:
there were a lot of white kids! asians too (i'm pretty sure we were the only non-white kids!). i'm mexican-american and i go to a school that's 98-99% hispanic, so it was different for us. and to top it off, we were hella under dressed! everyone was wearing suits and ties and dress clothes, and we were all casual in our jeans and flip flops! it was pretty embarrassing at first, but then we got used to it. we were blaming our teacher cuz he said "dress casually." and also, our teacher was asking them white kids if they knew what the word ratchet meant! he thought we were the only school that used that term, but he found out he was wrong! so pretty much, we were the under dressed mexican kids. it was a pretty fun day though, especially at lunch!
and i always thought that when the day came that i had to work with white people, i would be confident because honestly i am proud of being mexican, but today, oh man, it was so intimidating! not only were they well-dressed, but they were so smart and spoke so clearly! i freaking stutter and say "uh" and "um" a lot and they were speaking like freaking politicians or whatever! and they used big words and asked big long ass questions! the judges were impressed... at the white kids cuz our school didn't really speak. but one thing that bugged me was that there was this one white chick and from the moment she opened her mouth, i didn't like her! she was so stuck up and said that she was "smart" because she's home schooled! and i thought it was just me, but to my surprise, i wasn't the only one. me and my fiends were complaining about her at lunch, and i am so glad we did! :D we were saying stuff like, "oh you're home schooled? where's your prom, your basement!" it was so funny! we even told our teacher! :p honestly, the white people did make me feel kinda dumb |: but it was still fun. we had like an hour for lunch and the last school to leave cuz our bus took forever! i didn't go to any classes today (: and during lunch we were laughing so hard! we were having a little too much fun! :D anyway, fun day!
