How I Spent My Summer Vacation

I hate when final exams begin, I get so stressed and nervous that sometimes I feel like I’m about to fail. My mom always reminds me of how crying and thinking about being stressed is not the answer. I realized how my mom doesn’t like watching me worrying about anything. I took everything seriously wanting to make my mom proud and also not screwing up my summer vacation.

Our summer plans all started when the weather became really hot. Saudi Arabia’s weather is usually the hottest of all GCC countries and if you are living in the eastern or western province you would be stuck with all of the humidity. I know you are probably saying it’s always hot or warm in Saudi Arabia but listen to the whole story. Our summer

We thanked my dad for the amazing journey and then traveled to our second home country London. My cousins keep telling why London? Nothing fun is there. They don’t know that London’s best feature is its cold and breezy weather. So lately, I have been obsessed with watching soccer matches especially Saudi Leagues. I even let my family watch the match with me. And I’ve been mentioning the Saudi Super Cup match in London to my dad but he didn’t care. It was a Derby match between two fanatic teams in Riyadh. The Saudi Football Federation decided to move the match from Riyadh to London. I keep reminding dad of how it is important to me to attend a match because of how strict Saudi Arabia’s rules against women attending football matches. I really respect these rules because of how scary this modern generation is. Then my dad told me that we would go to Geneva and Disney Paris to celebrate my …show more content…
So, I didn’t want to cancel my dad’s preparation and agreed. My dad changed our booking from the 12th to the 8th of August. I didn’t realize the change and we went to Geneva by train attended the carnival which was hectic and saw a couple of my friends and had so much fun. After 2 days in Geneva, we took a train to Disney Paris and played with my sister in the scariest rollercoasters. We met Mickey, Donald, Minnie, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto. It was an amazing experience. We spent two days in Disney and then went back to London. One day before the match an envelope was laying in front of our hotel room. It was a little bit odd because no one gets these nowadays. I opened it and here is the surprise: 3 tickets to the match. I was jumping nonstop then went to my dad and asked is this real or I’m daydreaming he said you were really hoping to go there and I didn’t want to let you down. I jumped and hugged him for about 5 minutes. Everyone knew except me. Then my mom told me but if your team loses don’t come to us crying. I started laughing removing the idea of the whole “my team is losing”. 12th of August came, bringing the joy to my face and finally wearing the team’s jersey in the stadium, the first half was so stressing keeping the score 0-0. After the break, the second half started and what also started is a

It’s time for the stress and procrastinations to begin and a nice cold beer once you end.…

One part I didn 't have to worry was a portion of the MCA like the Algebra part. But the part that was extremely hard for me was geometry.…

    Each year, a pilgrimage to the Florida or Alabama gulf coast is a highly anticipated and enjoyed event for my family. In the beginning, it was just my wife and I. Man oh man, these trips were some of the most relaxing times that I can remember. Now, our yearly “beach fest” includes our two children, Kaylee and Garrett. While this is still a wonderful family event, I no longer use the phrase “relaxing”. Elbert Hubbard once said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who just had one”.…
