March 6, 2013: History Day 2009

June 2009 I went to Washington D.C. to compete in History Day. Well only three students went that summer to compete and with my luck it was all girls. So I had to room with two very unusual girls. Don't get me wrong one was a sweetheart but the other put deodorant on her legs everyday, she only showed like four times in a week, and she ordered Chinese food almost every night. I bet you can imagine what our room smelled like, body odor and Chinese food. Oh and she smoked in the bathroom! She received her own bed to sleep in because there was no way I was going to sleep with THAT! This girl was almost 19 years old, you would think that she would have better manners and self hygiene. Anyway, I remember feeling like that was going to be the longest, most annoying week of my life but surprisingly is wasn't. Later that week after dealing with this troubled girl Anna (the normal one) and I decided to pull a prank on her while we were walking around town. This may come off as a little mean but this was just pay back for all the things she put us through. We decided to put a piece of pretzel in her hood well a Pigeon swooped down and trip to get it. I don't think I've seen anyone run so fast in my life. The next best thing happened to Anna... It was the next day or so, well she wasn't feeling very well. She had an upset stomach, well later that afternoon she finally went to the restroom. To this day she claims that she did not break that toilet because she went number two but of course no one believes her. Anyway, she broke the toilet and the hotel people had to go out of their way and buy a part for it. We ended up moving rooms. It was GREAT!!
