Waiting for the Weekend

announced as he shut the trunk of his car. It was a gorgeous Friday afternoon. School had just gotten out and there were students evacuating the building as fast as possible, buzzing with the pre-weekend excitement. I knew I was excited. It was warm for February, and that meant that the Presidents weekend would be even better. I was leaving school with Drew, Adam, and Señor when the sky started to darken. The winds started to pick up, but the other students didn’t seem to notice and kept…

the class had placed on his table. She hated waiting for anything, especially when the answer was so important. All Semester, Mr. Gribleton had assigned the class 3 or 4 feet of essay the weekend of the much anticipated Hogsmede trips. They were sick of it, and had penned a letter telling him that it was time to change his methods. She didn’t care what his reasons were, there was no excuse for any teacher purposely trying to ruin such a good weekend. Elizabeth had organized her classmates. She…

Weekend won’t be found screaming at you from the crowded shelving of your local newsagent or supermarket. It’s title subtle and small goes against the claim, “the title is always written in large letters” suggested by McLoughlin (The L of M p6). No! it is waiting to be discovered in it’s protective cover, immersed in the numerous folds of the Guardian’s Saturday sections. A supplement you might ask, yes, but an award winning supplement and supplement, I believe in name alone. There can be no…

the first day of shopping for the Christmas season. It has become very common to see fights between eager shoppers fighting over discounted items, but Malia Pattison, a 13 year old, was lucky to not witness and experience this while shopping this weekend. Malia traveled from her hometown in Wisconsin to Minnesota for both Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Her father, Gregg, sister, Shayla, and friend Tristan accompanied her during this trip. They woke up at the crack of dawn just like many…

home is a 2-story log cabin that my family built themselves. I cherish the cabin’s character that gives it a lived-in feeling and a homey vibe. The tacky lighthouse theme adds to this effect. The shore of the lake is always busy with people on the weekends. The neighbors, a bit rowdy, always try to include us…

Walking into a bookstore in 2015, one would notice the extensive amount of books promoting the answer to finding happiness. How would one maximize their happiness? A better job, more money? It is quoted time and time again that money cannot buy happiness, but according to The Atlantic writer James Hamblin, how money is spent can influence the amount of happiness one experiences. Possessing and utilizing a scholarly tone and multiple rhetorical devices in his article, Hamblin provides an…

break for students is a time to relax and let your brain rest from all the work you been doing at school. The past few weekends I had been so busy that I did not get to do what I love. Being raised in the country since I was little has turned me into what people call a redneck. I go mudding when I get the chance, I do not mind getting a little dirty. Since school has started my weekends have consisted of homework, and trying to spend time with my son. First me and my son Landon met up with my…

The retreat covers topics that may not be discussed, such as how to raise kids and how to manage finances. After attending the marriage weekend, they had a deeper understanding of their commitment…

stage wherein writing the above memo, one has to analyze the situation, gather enough information on the same, and organize the message. The situation is persuading the workers to report to the work on the next weekend voluntarily, not forgetting that the employees have plans during the weekends. The actual writing of the message to persuade is the second step where it is significant to use polite language, show respect, and establish credibility (Pearson, 2014). In the above memo, I had to make…
