On my way to school today......

On the way to school today, I had many things going on. I left my house at 8:15a.m. in order to get to school before my first class began. My first class starts at 9:10a.m. and my goal was to arrive at 8:40a.m. Usually my mother drops me off before she leaves to work but today was not one of those days. My day began the wrong way; I woke up late and did not have time to eat breakfast. I could not find my book for philosophy and my notebook for math.

On my way to the bus stop, I saw a dead bird on the sidewalk that creped me out. As I got to the bus stop it began to rain. I thought that eventually it was going to stop, but once again I was wrong. The rain only continued to get harder and harder. I waited at the bus stop for about fifteen minutes until I got tired of getting wet and of waiting. I decided to call my uncle and ask him for a ride to school. I called one time and he did not answer, I called a second time and again he did not answer. I began to stress out and worry about not arriving to school on time for my first class. Suddenly my phone rang and it was my uncle, he told me he was in the shower when I called him and asked me what did I want. I kindly asked for a ride to school and he said yes.

Finally, my day was turning better. When I arrived school, I took my notebook out and noticed that all my notes were wet, since I had spent fifteen minutes under the rain waiting for the bus to arrive, which it never did. My class was about to begin and my notebook was still wet. I took my homework out so it would dry before the teacher collected it. “God I thought to myself, when is this day going to end?”

As my day continued it turn out better, everything was under control after my first class. I had lunch with my friends and left for home with no problem. My aunt picked me up and then took me to work. I got out from work at 8:00p.m. and arrived at my house at 8:15p.m. As soon as I got home I fell to sleep. I just hope that I don”t get another day like that in a long time.

I'm very sorry that you had to wait in the rain but it was a little funny. I loved the descriptivness. It was a great essay, i felt like i was right next to you.

I thought that this blog was well written. Some if not most parts of this were humoreous and it compelled me to read more. I like how you give a time frame, that helps to visualize exactly what was going on. The use of imagery was very effective. Well written, good job. =]

Going to school that day must have been the worst day for anyone. I’m very proud that you didn’t give up and go back home when the bus didn’t come. Back in high school I have turned back around when the bus didn’t come or if it rained. I’m glad that your uncle came and eventually picked you up and dropped you to school. Try to look at the weather report so you can avoid being caught in the rain.
