Waiting for the Weekend

My life during third grade was like many other children. I would go to school Monday thru Friday and come home every day and complete my homework and then spend time with friends, watching TV, or playing in my room. Every Friday that I would come home from school and have my piano lesson and then relax. That was everyday routine, but one cold Friday afternoon changed my routine for the rest of my life. On a cold Friday in the middle of February, I returned home from school and expected to have…

Awake, work, home, relax, sleep, repeat. Probably most American workers go off this schedule every day of his/her life; doing the same routine over and over again. Is this really how we should live life? To a procrastinator, it isn't. People who procrastinate will take their time when they are assigned a task and will get it done. People who procrastinate will prioritize that the most important tasks will be completed. People who procrastinate will not let anyone down. Proactive people are like…

difficulties. Many people don't cross the border because there is usually a waiting time of 3 or more hours. Why do people need to suffer in order to see their loved ones? The main factor for this wait time are mainly truck drivers that are transporting goods from one country to the other. So I would propose the idea of making a single international border in El Paso, Tx and Juarez exclusively for truck drivers. This would minimize the waiting time as well as the traffic in both cities. I feel…

It was an ordinary, cold, rainy, day of December, and the travelers had met the Whataburger at 281. After they enjoyed a nice hearty meal, the Gamer stood up and said “Hear ye, hear ye! For I have a tale to tell whilst we are traveling so we can all be amused,” and it went something like this Once upon a time in an olden middle school, there was the schoolboy, who was very scrawny, and weak, and very lacking in confidence. He was always trying to get everything done on time, which he did, but…

Fanatical About “Gordon” As a teenager I would think that watching a NASCAR race was about the most boring way to spend four hours or more every weekend; although every weekend my step-father would persistently watch cars race around in a circle. My opinion began to change in 1993 after a get-together with co-workers. They would get-together between the work weeks and grill out, drink beer and watch the race. In “93” I became a part of this ritual although I still didn’t care very much about…

Weekend Plans Lindsay DolneyThis weekend I will be going to dance tryouts. On Friday night I went to my friend Elicia’s house. She was going to pick me up from school but I forgot my bag at home. When I got home I made sure I had packed everything and was waiting for the call that Elicia was home. My Mom, (who was my ride) had to pick up my lunch for Saturday, but completely forgot to. So she and my sister Arianna went into town to get me some food. I thought she would just be going to…

popped into their thoughts. On Mondays, stories of everyone’s weekend was the expected topic of conversation and that ultimately came to fruition when Phillip sat down to eat his turkey sandwich. “It is really awesome!” Dave proclaimed to a less-than-interested Manny and Phillip. “I told you motocross run four would be better than the other three put together. My mom got me the game for my virtual game lenses and I played it all weekend. I even got away with playing it in Mrs. Adamalia’s…

of homework to do when getting home. It’s insane. Getting home, relieved of all other work, realizing you have about 3 hours worth of homework to do. You would rather go take a nap on that comfy, smooth couch, but you know you’re going to end up waiting last minute if you don’t do it right away. Work assigned to do at home may be important to…

brother, and Gambill-Donley’s mother is the handler for her dog Juliet. While Juliet runs in the same relay as Lucy, Benvolio, her mother’s 14 week old puppy, is patiently waiting his turn. Gambill-Donley said, “Dogs have to be 1 year old” to partake in tournaments. All of her dogs tent camp with the family on tournament weekends. Although most fairgrounds have camper hookups, most of her team camps with their dogs in tents. However, this is not always the case because Lucy has severe storm…

of the audition piece “Sing Ye to the Lord.” Then I would have 60 seconds to study an 8-measure line of sight singing. Going into the audition room I was as nervous as can be but walking out I knew that whatever happened I was proud of myself. The weekend following my audition all I could think about was if I was accepted or not. So needless to say I had a couple more sleepless nights.…
