So in eighth grade, which is next year, we'll be able to go to Costa Rica during spring break for 12 days. I heard people talking about it and it seemed like the freakingg most amazing thing, with rafting in rapids, hiking on volcanos, seeing waterfalls, swimming, everything. And my mom won't let me go when I asked her. -_- Her reason was like, she saw movies where the setting was costa rica and in the movie, they had all these drug dealers and 'bad people' in costa rica. So that's why I can't go .... Eurghhhh freaking stupidest reason. And she's so freaking stubborn so I don't see how I can convince her to let me.

[*salcha*]

woahhhhhh i went through that EXACT SAME THING in the eighth grade!
Our eighth grade class was going to take a trip to the entire east coast of the USA (we live in california). We were going to soo many cool places, going to watch a broadway show, times square, buffets, and hours of shopping. of course, i wanted to go really bad and of course, my mom didn't let me. At the end, I got so mad, I taped "PLEASE LET ME GO!!!!!!!" signs all over the house. (yeah, i was immature). I told her that I would try harder in school, blahblahblah all these other expectations, and I payed $60 for it too (I didn't get allowance). I was desperate, and it was my last year with my friends cuz next year, i was supposed to go to a new school. (which is where I am right now -.-)

Haha, she let me. :)
