Narrative Essay One tremendously windy Monday morning, the sky shifted gloomy shades of grey above my home in the land of 10,000 lakes: Minnesota. My loathsome alarm yet again woke me with its vexatious sound, as it does Monday through Friday. It took me an unpleasant 30 minutes to get myself out of bed and into the shower. After showering and picking out a nice cozy outfit, I dashed upstairs to grab a quick breakfast before heading to an early choir rehearsal. In a surprisingly pleasant turn of events I noticed my loving mother had made me chocolate chip pancakes before she left for work at Canterbury Park.

It was the week of my high schools celebrate choir concert, so I knew sure as hell that I had no choice of being late. It was the most important concert of the year and included oodles of choreography and immense songs from movies and video games. While I was driving eagerly to school across Highway 13, I drifted across a big patch of black ice. I slammed on the breaks and the smell of burnt rubber filled the inside of my car.

I got into my car and cautiously drove home due to the fact that I had almost got in a bad accident that same morning. While cruising out of the high school parking lot, I was determined to put on some music. Without notice, the car in front of me slammed on their breaks and I ran into their rear bumper. Luckily, it was one of my friends from school and I didn’t leave ant mark what so ever. I couldn’t believe the series of events that happened to me throughout the day and was beyond ready to get to home. I reached my cozy household and was about to take a long nap when I found a to-do list waiting for me on the kitchen counter. The list stated: Finish laundry and fold clothes, load the dishwasher, and vacuum the upstairs. I finished my chores as fast as possible so I could get a start on my homework and we could head out to dinner and I could finally figure out what we were
