This weekend was very different then any other weekend. My mom and I drove to Lafayette to check out the city! Since my mom is a pediatric gastroenterologist, which in simple terms is a stomach doctor for kids, a hospital in Lafayette wants her to work there and so they are paying for EVERYTHING. It's pretty great... Our hotel, our food, etc. was all paid for! After we arrived at the hotel and dropped all our stuff in the room, a woman named Mary who works in the hospital showed us around town. We first went to St. Thomas Moore to check out the school to see if I wanted to go there next year. The first turnoff was the mascot. They were the Cougars... I'm not sure I want to be a cougar. ;) In all seriousness, it just wasn't the right school for me! I walked in and it was like one of those gloomy. boring high schools you see in movies and it had an odd smell. So we left and went to ESA. I was really surprised when we arrived! The classrooms are like little houses!! I've never seen anything like it. We later talked to the French teacher who was nice, but I couldn't understand a word she said... But anyway, it was a very unique, outdoorsy school which I have heard a lot of good things about! I'm probably going to shadow there soon.
We later made our way back to the hotel and wanted to go check out the mall! Mary had to leave so we were on our own. Using my phone, we finally got there safely! We went in a lot of stores and I bought a bunch of clothes and then we ate! After about 4 hours, we got back to the car and were ready to go back to the hotel, but of course my phone died because I was texting the whole time which probably wasn't such a good idea. Eventually, we got back to the hotel where I am now typing this! Tomorrow, we will probably see more of the city then return back to Baton Rouge! All in all, it has been a very fun day hanging with my mom and seeing Lafayette!
Isabella, it's sad that you have to move next year, but I'm sure you'll love Lafayette! It's good that you and your mom toured the schools to see how it'd be and that you might go to ESA; that's where my sister goes (even though she's a senior and graduating). I promise you'll love it because I went one time and the atmosphere over there was awesome. I swear that'd be my second pick for a new school if I had to move!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had fun! I've only visited there once but I love Lafayette! I've been to ESA and it's a really cool and different school. You should also check out Lafayette High! I know some really nice people who go there.
