Lazy Days

Maybe we could have a Nothing Day, he suggested. I don’t think you are, he said. They told me that those days are canceled… He thought again. You know what? I’m going to come up with our own day. My daughter and I used to have these days when we had nothing to do, and they are not called Nothing Days. Let’s call them… Let’s call them lazy days. Yes. We’re not having a Nothing Day. We’re having a Lazy Day. What are Lazy Days? Well… That’ s a good question. You get to be lazy all day. You can’t go to the adult’s place because this is most definitely not a Nothing Day, but you can wander around here and talk to one another and not do work. You did enough work to last yourselves a lifetime, you know. Besides, it looks like no one else is around here to say that I can’t make up a day, so… Lazy Day! Go have fun. The kids stood in their places looking very confused, but then they went to do what they were told to do, and that included Blur. She went to find Kathy, and when she saw her in her sights, she ran up to her quickly. Hi, Kathy. Do you think that that ------- didn't really know what he was doing, or what? Isn’t he worried about his…

If you were a sports fan in Hartford the day of my birth you had probably traveled to Dell Rapids the night before to see the West Central Boys basketball team. The Trojans, who defeated the Quarriers 76-68, were lead by Tucker Hansen, who had 23 points (“West Central 76, Dell Rapids 68” 4C). Also from around the Sioux Empire the police were searching for the driver of a truck that hit a pedestrian. The driver of truck hit a man from behind on 31st Street North and between Cliff and Van Eps…

The letter that Corregidor Alonso Guzman had given him had its desired effect. On reading it, the official in charge of the first regidor of Madrid’s office made an appointment for Antonio to see him at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, four days later. The official said it could not be earlier because the regidor was at Escorial and would not be returning for several days. Antonio wondered just how important the king’s life could be if the meeting could be delayed for that long. Couldn’t they send…

The room had a strange aura in it, as if the walls were staring at him with an intense glare. All the posters--which there were so many there wasn’t a spot on the wall where your hand could be placed without touching one--were covered with blood-red paper. The only things visible on the walls was the large American flag, whiteboard, and clock, which was messed up and the time was wrong, which was another strange occurrence. It was obviously test day. Mr. Lidiff’s face had also changed to one of…

At this point, Frankenstein is knowledgeable that his creation is the murderer of his brother (and indirectly caused the execution of his family friend Justine). He sees just exactly the problems that his creation has caused and how much…

Service learning can be a rewarding experience for both participated and the person who uses the volunteer. This was my first time experiencing an actual volunteering assignment outside of my field of interest. The experience allowed me to utilize multiple talents that I had.

In order to get my service learning volunteer hours I had to go for three days at two different…
