Personal Narrative-Scheduling Conflicts

Improved Essays
So here's a story. Last week was exhausting. Saturday I was scheduled to leave Greenville to go to Augusta to get my girlfriends stuff with a Uhaul and some friends, and pretty much everything that went wrong could. The Uhaul was booked until 3, even though it had been reserved weeks in advance at an earlier time, and this cost us 2 of our helpers due to scheduling conflicts. Long story short, we finished unloading the last of the truck right at sundown, had time to grab a beer and some food, and got at my venue just in time to see CUSSES setting up. Spoiler alert: it was worth it. The band easily put on one of the best live shows I’ve seen this year, and reminded me why we all love them so much in the first place. Lead singer

Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track.

    Plan Writing a plan was not easy. We needed to write it couple of times until it was ready; sometimes we even erased everything and started from the beginning. In order to write the plan, we had to know exactly what we want to write and how. However, when we actually started to write the essay, all the hard work was worth it, it took us less time and effort since everything was ready. We just needed to extend the plan.…

With my other classes I was doing the schoolwork, but I just shirked the homework for my history class. The late homework in that class just kept piling up. Eventually, it reached the point where my late work was in, but the newer work was still being put off.…

    Growing up, I noticed, when approached with conflict, my sisters and my mother would often state that they did not want to talk about it or would simply leave the room. I now have a phrase for this: the exit response. For us, the exit response was always temporary. If the problem was serious, it would eventually be brought back up; if it wasn’t, then things usually got better on its own. While my dad is often the first to use the voice response, I have noticed that my dad often chooses the loyalty response, too.…
