The Next Line

my passport months prior and kind of not fully comprehending to thinking about how much things actually were going to change once I got on that plane. My first real awakening was in line for a routine security check when the man in front of me spoke on…

had all of our bags and belongings. My sister and I were at the airport with some family members in Africa waiting for our plane. The plane arrived at six pm (GMT), we made our way to the ticket line. I have never seen a line so long in my life. We spent at least six to seven minutes in the line. Seven minutes later, we made our way to the front, and the woman asked for our passports. After returning our passport, she told us our seats were ready, but there was a problem with the…

Our flight was delayed when we got to Moscow and we had to wait for 4 hours. It was 4 hours of torture as so many thoughts went through my head. Will he let us pass? Will I be able to make it on time for school? Finally, it was time to get in line to board the plane heading to America. As we got closer to the gate agent, I felt more nervous. I swallowed as I waited for him to check our documents. First, he checked mine and nodded, and then he checked my mother’s and nodded, finally, he looked…

formed. They all have six lines and have a certain sense of rhythm that comes along with it. The first four stanzas begin with a six word line, followed in a line break that consists of another four words. The next line begins with a dash and after the first word, there is a colon. “Ah, are you diggin on my grave/ My loved one?- planting rue?/- No: yesterday he went to wed/ one of the brightest wealth has bred/ It cannot hurt her now, he said, / That I should not be true.” (Lines 1-6) Obviously,…

Castles n’ Coasters. I was so excited were was doing something fun and going somewhere. After we all finished eating we made it to the amusement park an hour later. It was 10:00 A.M and we got in line to get out wrist bands, and even though there was only 2 people ahead of us it felt like we were in line for a long time because of the 100 degree air. When it became my turn I handed to lady my mothers credit card she gave me for the trip, she asked me “Can I see your I.D?”, obviously I didn’t…

length, with all stanzas ending in the same, or similar, lines. The ending line of the first two stanzas refer back to the “Ecchoing Green”, which is echoing with timelessness in the beginning of life, to the “Darkening Green”…

paces in a straight line northward. At the end of her distance she will call this point “B”. Vanessa will now turn 90 degrees to the right and will walk 2x+4 paces east until she is at point “C”. We have now acquired a line segment which we will call AB which is basically the line from A to B, the line segment from B to C is considered BC. However, the lines AB and BC intersect to form a perpendicular angel, and we will use line AC as Ahmed’s route. The end state of the line segments if one was…

we finally arrived I had pretty much accepted my fate and solemnly grabbed my ticket from a perky teacher, whose name I did not know, and slowly shuffled into the line. We ended up finding out that our flight was half an hour earlier than we thought and had to sprint to get there on time. Then, everybody decided to switch seats to sit next to their friends, which the flight attendants did not appreciate. We eventually all found our seats and sat down, leaving me barely any time to freak out…

Lucy and Jesus After “First-Time Flyer FAQ” on page 189 I was restlessly sitting in my Coach class chair, as Olly was asleep like a baby. The flight was surprisingly very calm except for a bit of turbulence here and there. It’s remarkable how mankind was able to find a way to get big hunks of metal to fly through the air. I wish I could do something like that with my life, except that I’ll never have the opportunity to do so. “How are you doing Olly?” I say while he’s sleeping. Olly just grunts…
