I did not go on the field trip because I did not

want to be behind in all of my other important

classes and I was in the process of getting a job.

I am dissapointed that I didnt not go, because

it sounded as if it was a very fun trip. How ever

I am glad i stayed here because I did alot of home

work in my othere classes while my Civics 11 class

was in Victoria. I liked our substitute teacher, he was

cool and he seemed to know alot about what we were

doing which was very helpful. I had a good time staying

in Summerland while the Civics 11 class was going on a

field trip! Theres always other trips that I wont miss out

on next time!!
