The first week of college was different then expected, Im from Washington state so I didn’t really know about CUNY and how disorganized they are. They lost my housing deposit check, immunization forms, and made me fly out to New York in the middle of June to take a placement test for math then told me I could have taken it right before school started, after I was already in New York. But back to my first week of college, it was pretty alright nothing too special.

This last long weekend I went to Chicago with my family and we ended up going to the field museum. They had a lot of cool exhibits there. Their most famed exhibit is the largest dinosaur discovered to date.  They named him Maximo which I guess means maximum in Spanish, its 122 feet long and stands 28 feet tall. The long necked vegan dinosaur lived over 100 million years ago in what is now called Patagonia, Argentina.  They had a 3D movie thing that gave you a good idea of what these creatures looked like which was really cool. My other favorite exhibit was the ancient Egypt section, they had a 3 story replica of a type of ancient tomb called a Mastaba. It had two chamber rooms from a burial site from somewhere I can’t remember but it was really cool. The burial chamber of the tomb dated back to 2400 BC and still houses one of the largest mummy collections in the United States. it holds 23 human mummies and 30 something animal mummies. The exhibition also recreated an ancient marketplace that they reconstructed from market scenes that were drawn on tomb walls. Overall it was a pretty cool experience and I am glad I went, here’s a picture of me in front of Maximo the dinosaur
