Another Big Post

I haven't posted in awhile, I have gotten out of the habit. Anyway, here's a post to bring you up to speed on what's going on recently, I'll format it in segments again because that worked last time.

==My trip to Boston==
I went to Boston 2 weeks ago, but forgot to blog about it! We went to MIT to take a tour, because my brother is going to apply to college soon and is going to apply to MIT, and frankly, as hard as it is to get to MIT, I think he has a good chance. Anyway, we went all sorts of places. We went to a cool science museum, where they had a really cool butterfly exhibit with live butterflies flying around the room. There was also Quincy Market, they had all kinds of stuff there... I got a really cool Beatles shirt with a stylized version of the cover of Rubber Soul on it from a small vendor selling various shirts and things. There was a really cool Sgt Pepper one, but it wasn't my size.
==Got stuff at a street fair in New York City==
I went to this fair with people selling all sorts of stuff, food, toys, clothes, etc, and I came across two things (which I bought): A Beatles poster, a print of them circa '67, you can tell by the hair. I also got the Anthology 2 new in the case with shrink wrap on it for only $16! That's really low for a two disk set, Sgt. Pepper (with less than half the songs) is at least that, maybe more. The White Album, of similar size, was about $25 or so.
==The Earth Day Play==
My school had a play for Earth Day (which was written by my grade). We practiced and rehearsed, and we performed it today. It was really fun, the theme was Dora the Explorer. We made Tico (the little purple squirrel with all the cars and airplanes and stuff) have a ridiculously funny costume, all purple with a rainbow vest and a tail.
