I Think I May Go to a HBCU

I guess some would say today was an "interesting" day. We can start off with the fact that I've been in the same clothes for over 24 hours, yuck, and on the same bus for equally as long give or take. I must say, the most memorable portion of our first day is getting stuck at an Alabaman gas station in 108° F temperature for 3 hours due to an engine belt snapping. All negativity aside, the experiences and knowledge I learned today is something I will keep with me for a very long time. Our tour of Alabama A&M University intrigued and persuaded me to apply to historically black colleges and universities which is something I never thought I would ever even consider to be on my radar. Although they don't have any medical sciences, I'm sure I could find something for me. I know I'm taking up your time so I'll leave describing the most amazing superstructure I've seen and the perfect place for astro nerds, like myself, The U.S. Space and Rocket Center. That place literally had anything a person curious in space and astronaut training would love, besides actual equipment, and is home to the INTERNATIONAL SPACE CAMP! Some of the rides featured at the center is their Mar's Simulation, G Force Simulation, and their famous Space Shot. Totally a destination I will take my children to in the future.

    Other than the bus breaking down, it seems like you all enjoyed the day. Thanks for posting the you tube video. I am being exposed to new things as well, through these videos!
