The clock winked as if it was saying hello. I was sitting in class and was desperate to do anything other than listen to what the teacher was babbling on and on about. I knew that my mind was more than likely playing tricks on me and just giving something to think about in my time of desperation, but now I could not take my eyes off the clock. I figured that if I continued to look at the clock and not pretend that I was paying attenetion people would start to notice but I couldnt turn my eyes away from it. The teacher soon noticed that I was no longer concentrating on what was being said and questioned me on what she had just been talking about. Without even thinking I blurted out that the clock had winked at me and the class soon broke out into hysterical laughter. I could feel my face was truning redder by the second and couldnt believe I had let my imagination become such a distraction. I always knew that looking at the clock as an escape from calss never really turned out well but now I had proof.

I feel like everytime get home form a trip I say it was the best trip that I have ever been on, but this time I can truly say that it was the best trip I have ever had. My parents wanted to make sure that my senior spring break was one to rememeber and I dont think that I will ever forget this one. Last week I went to Mexico with my parents 5 of my best friends and 2 other parents. We stayed in Puerto Vallarta and spent the days on the the beach, by the pool or going on adventures that we had never experienced before. The one experience that I dont think I will forget is the zip line. We went up into the mountains and rode a series of 14 lines bringing us all the way to the top and back down again. Not only was it amazing to be flying over the river hundreds of feet in the air, the people working there made the experience unlike any other. I could tell that they loved what they were doing and just knowing that made everything so much more enjoyable. I dont think that I will forget the people that we met on the trip either. We stayed at a smaller resort giving us the chance to get to know other guests as well as the staff on a more personal level. I dont think I could count the number of people who said they were going to miss us when we were gone and how much they appreciated the fun and excitement we brought to the resort. I had never been to Mexico before last week and I cant wait to go back. the whole trip was more than I expected it to be and it is hard to put into words how much fun I had and how much I will miss everything that we did. The week couldnt have been more perfect. I was in a warm beautifull place with the people I love the most and doing things that I have never done before. While one may just see this trip as just another sprig break trip, I think of it as much more and I will never forget the good times I had in Mexcio.

I guess its that time of the week when I am thrown into the dishwaser to be drenched in water and heated up to the most extreme temps. As I sit right next to my fellow silverwear friends I just wait for the cycle to begin. At first it is nice to feel the warm water running over me and the steam and mist cleaning me off but after a few minutes it gets a little hot. The temperature contiues to rise and cause me and my companions to become hot hot hot. I remember the first time I experienced this and how cool I thought it was but after about 10 washes I cnat even stand the sight of this monster.

I once dreamed that I bought my prom dress and after I got it altered it was ruined. When I went back to the tailor I was expecting to see the same beautiful dress that I have bought just a few short weeks ago, but once I opened up the bag it looked completely different. I needed to get the dress shortened but they tailor went a little crazy and cut off way to much fabric. She also decided that she should change what the whole bottom of the dress would look like. She added small bits of tool making it look like a pagent dress that looked extremely uncomfortable. I tried on the dress anyway to see if it would look different on my body than on the hanger and it did but i hated it just as much. I treid to explain to the tailor that this was not what I asked for and I was not going to pay for this but she didnt want to hear it. It actually seemed like no one wanted to listen to me and didnt care that I came in with a compeletly different dress than the one that was now on my body. my mom and brought me shoes to try on with the dress but it didnt make it look any better. I was so upset that this was happening and I knew that no matter how much I hated it my mom wasnt going to get me a new dress. I was so excited to go to prom for the first time but it was not turning out to be as fun as it seemed.

I wish someone had told me at an earlier age not to put all my eggs in one basket. Growing up I was the type of person to have one really close best friend and occastionally talk to others but mostly just hang out with one person. I never thought that it would cause so many problems and I never knew that it would have such a great impact on my life and future freindships. Throughout middle school I hung out with one girl and didnt ever hang out with anyone else. We didnt really spend any weekends apart and I closed off myself to everyone else. I thought that I could trust her with everything and we would be friends forever but the young girl that I first met was not the same girl I was friends with towards the end of our friendship. She never thought she did anything wrong and I was always putting more into the friendship than she was. I knew that it wasnt fair for me and the relationship was not healthy but I couldnt stand the thought of losing the person that I thought I was the closest to. As my parents watched the friendship unfold they finally told me that I should not just close myself off to just one person and not to put all my eggs in one basket but for me that really didnt mean much. It wasnt until I found out that she did something behind my back that no supposed bestfriend would do, that I realized that my parents were right all along. Although going through all of that was not very easy I have learned from my mistakes and I will always follow the advice of not putting all my eggs in one basket.

Science Fiction Story

In my science fiction story I am going to write how society has destroyed itself. I am going to write about how we all have lost our sense of identity and we no longer communicate face to face. The government has driven all of its citizens against them and everyone is fighting for the ultimate power. Talk about how I have to now get used to the way of life as it is now (in 100 years) and write about how the adjustment is something I have never experienced. society has caused the world to fall apart and it wont ever be the same.
