Our school is so cheap we get a school bus w/o our name on it like other schools; it just says "Allied School District"

That is ok our school district has stupid bus drivers cause for our state comp we were told that we would be able to take out school's charter bus, well one driver on the way to the varsity baseball game in Payton hit four highway sigh(He was fired) and it seems every time our track team uses the bus it gets damaged

Well, NJ is kind of small, you don't really have long drives. In TX, where cyfalls is, is much bigger, and therefore longer drives.

We end up pulling out all our phones texting and singing (horribly) on the way to competitions... Then we have the serious kids in the front of the bus actually studying, which none of us have the attention span for. :D All the goof-offs and the naughty kids are in the BACK of the bus! (Go figure.)

We have to drive out to Texas A&M at College Station (about 2 hours) from Houston for out state competition.

Fortunately, it seems that issue has been resolved... in favor of a plane (and I think for the high school too). :D
