Wednesday
Be creative today! Write a story about a day when everything that can go wrong does. For instance, you oversleep, cat throws up on the floor, your clothes are dirty, the shower runs out of hot water, etc. Write it in a story format, though. A little dialogue would be nice, too. Have fun!
I woke up in the morning with the sun shining on my face. I got dressed and stepped out the door so I could breath in some fresh air. Fortunately, I have a porch, because if I didn't I would have stepped into a pit of lava. I ran back inside and turned on the news. Apparently a crack had formed in the crust of earth right underneath my house and was now spewing molten rock all down the block.
ReplyDeleteThings went from bad to worse when I tried to call 911. The normal operators were all given the day off, and a guy with a really strong accent answered.
"Heeelo, dis iz nan ohn ohn. Huw kin eh help youh?" he said
"My home is surrounded by lava!" I replied.
"Youhr gnome-mey iz surrendered too papa?" he confirmed.
I knew I would never get the message across so I hung up and took matters into my own hands.
I used buckets of ice water to freeze the lava. When I was all done, I stepped outside onto the frozen lava. I was glad to see it held my weight. I slid across the lava to get to safe ground when suddenly I fell and hit my head. I was knocked unconcious.
The End
"Help!
Once upon a time I had the worst day of my life. I woke up to the sound of my condor crying for kibble. I tried to get out of bed, but my legs had apparantly been cut off during the night. So I rolled myself into the kitchen where my mother was busy making me some new legs. While reattatching them, I lost track of time and was consequently late for school. When I got to school, nobody was there, and I remembered that it was Christmas break. So I went back home, but my house had burned down. I didn't have anywhere to go, so I made a hut for myself in a swamp, and I've been living there ever since with my only friend on earth, my condor.
ReplyDelete“Hey Fauna! Get your hiney down here! The Liver Griddles are ready and hot!!”
ReplyDeleteAs you can hear, my day started out as one for the books. A. The name Fauna is gross, B. My aunt is evil, and C. I hate Liver Griddles! After I ate them, I felt nauseous and it took me extra long to walk the five blocks to school in the frigid chill of the February air. On the way, a minivan filled with mean kids from school hollered and threw dead cats at me. Then I showed up at school with dead cats on me and everyone laughed, but I think they were just jealous. Then my teacher poked me in the eye, the science class burned my eyebrows, I had an allergic reaction to the kool-aid at lunch, and then when I walked home from school another big van came and threw dead cats at me.
....thats okay though, i took one of the calico cats and brought it home with me and made a hat.
ReplyDeleteI woke up at 7:55...I had no time to get dressed and still make it to school on time!! I called my mom a million times and left messages, and did the same with my dad, no one was picking up!! I needed them to call me in the school and excuse my lateness. Well I drove to school and when I got there, there was one spot available in the parking lot, but I had to park crooked in the space becuase of the big mounds of snow in the back of the lot. I got my stuff and proceeded to the door. Since it was the middle of first hour there was no one by the door to let me in, so I had to walk around in the COLD weather. I walked around and I got an unexcused absence. When I saw people from my team, I realized that it was tuesday and we have a game!! I didn't dress up plus I was late for school, which means I would probably not be able to play in the game tonight. Just when I thought that was bad, I realized that it was senior night, and I wouldnt beable to play in my senior night game!! This definitely put me in a bad mood. During lunch I spilled milk all over my lap and I had to change into crusty phy/ed shorts. I had on these red shorts which turned into a red dress, then all of a sudden I was on the basketball court, we were about to play a team to go to sectionals, and I couldn't find my basketball shoes anywhere and the game was about to start without me! This is when I woke up!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrible dream!! but OH NO its 7:55 on gameday!!

I woke up one morning from a throbbing pain in my hand. When I opened my eyes I had a thumb about the size of a baseball bat! I dragged me and my thumb out of bed, turned on the shower, and jumped in. Yikes! No hot water!
ReplyDelete"This is just peachy." I thought to myself.
So I decided to stick my thumb over my head. The water was soo cold that it shrunk my thumb back down to size! Yay! But it still hurt.. So I continued to get ready for school but while putting my makeup on, I dropped the mascara and it went all over my white sweater. When I tried to curl my hair, it got a whole bunch of crimps in it so I had to wash it, and throw it in a ponytail because I didn't have enough time to redo it. Then among the rush I forgot to eat breakfast and I left my running shoes right next to the door! I looked terrible, my thumb hurt, and I had no shoes to run in. It stunk.
That was a bad story...
:)
So I woke up at 7:50... five mins before im supposed to leave. Great. Well I was going to be late anyways so I decided to take my time. It's just band anyways. The shower handle broke when I tried to use that and then I couldn't get my contacts to cooperate with me either. We didn't have any snacks to bring with for study hall. School was pretty boring and we had fish sticks for lunch. Then in my next study I went to the library and Mrs. Olson was really cranky. And then we had a poem day for English! wonderful. At work I got to have fun with lots of cranky people and when I got home, mom burned dinner so we had leftovers. yeah thats it.
ReplyDeleteI awoke at 8:04. I know I cannot make it to school in a minute, so I go as fast as I can to get ready and hope to make it in good time. I run to school, leaving my lunch and falling because I tripped on my untied shoelaces. I struggle to get myself back up and wipe the dirt of my shirt. I get to my first class and explain the situation. I figure I can still make the best of my day, so I wander to my next class and find out I forgot All my homework at home. I get bad grades on everything. Lunchtime finally comes and I spill chili all over myself and someone else. By the time three o'clock roles around I just want to go dig a hole and live in it. Embarrassed, I slowly walk home in the rain and sit and look out at the rain and think I cant get any worse.
ReplyDelete“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine….” The song just didn’t stop and I couldn’t find my phone. Lovely. I went up, looked out and it rained. I hoped that a hot shower would wake me up, but my big brother had used all the warm water. Instead I took a 5 second long ice cold shower. I ran down for breakfast and we were out of both milk and bread, so I told myself I just wasn’t hungry and went back upstairs. The morning was complete when I burned myself with the wave maker, got toothpaste on my shirt and forgot my English paper at home when I left for school.
ReplyDeleteI was late to my first class, got a bad grade on my test in second class and had an unprepared test in English. “Let’s see if you have been listening the last week”, I just love when the teachers say that…
The rest of my day ended just as bad as it began. It was a hard practice, ugly dinner and I had to do a bunch of homework.
Some days are just not meant to be good.
I hope this will remain a bad dream ;)

"Cause baby you're a firework. Come on show 'em what you're worth. Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
ReplyDeleteAs you shoot across the sky-y-y" As I woke up to Katy Perry's screeching voice I knew it was going to be a bad day. For one thing, that song is ALWAYS on the radio and I can't stand it. But I managed to drag myself out of bed. I went to take a shower and the water was freezing! "Nick! You took all the hot water, you butthead!" I yelled to my brother while standing under the ice cold shower. After my 10 second cold shower I put on some makeup and my mascara got all over my face. As I started doing my hair, it occurred to me that it was not looking good. After waking up to Katy Perry's song and realizing I'm having a bad hair day, I definitely knew it was going to be a terrible day. I continued to get ready though. I was running late due to everything that had happened. I had a huge Anatomy and Physiology test that morning at 10 and I could NOT be late otherwise I would receive a zero. I ran outside to get in my car, but of course, my car was locked, with the keys inside. "Awesome," I thought to myself, "Thankfully I have a spare key in the house." So I ran inside and got that quickly. As I was driving down the drive way at a fairly quick speed I spun around and did a 360 turn with my car. It was scary. On my way to class I was speeding and got pulled over by a cop. He gave me a ticket. After everything that happened that morning I could not focus on my test and got a bad grade on it. It was a terrible day.
Umm…The End.
I can't think of a specific day, although I KNOW I have those days more often than not. I hate it when I am running late for school and I get stuck behind a slow driver. Sometimes I get stressed out by homework. Sometimes I miss Sean. Soemtimes I worry so much about pointless things that I can't wake up in the morning. Sometimes I don't get along with my parents. Soemtimes holidays go horribly. My parents lost my birth certificate and social security card and I needed it for the military, so my future got postponed for two weeks. I get frustrated when I think about what military job I want to do, and I get even MORE stressed when I think about what college I want to attend. I get frustrated when I think about my financial situation and all the things I have to pay for. I get mad when my car does weird things and I'm afraid it's going to leave me stranded someday.
ReplyDelete...Yup.
Once upon a time there was a man by the name of Tom. Tom is me if you didn't know. All Tom wanted to do was sleep a couple more hours because it was only 5 A.M., which is 3 hours before school started. Then his cat came in his room and starting meowing. It jumped up on the bed and started hitting its head against Tom. Tom said, "No, go away I don't like you." He really does like the cat, but not that early. The cat did not listen at all. Then Tom woke up and didn't get anymore sleep. The day did not go good. The End

Once upon a time, there was a girl who was having a very bad day. It was a monday, so she had forgotten to set her alarm for school. She woke up two hours late for school. It had snowed like three feet over night and the ground was completely frozen and white. The pipes were frozen too so she couldn't even shower. Her toaster burned her toast and she had to try to walk the seven blocks to school through the three feet of snow. By the time she had gotten to school, she was soaking wet and was being told by the principal that she would have to serve detention after school. And to make it even worse, she had left one of her projects at home that had been due that day.
ReplyDeleteOne day, a young girl named Louise was walking to school because she missed the bus when all of a sudden, a car drove past her and sprayed water all over her brand new outfit she had just gotten that weekend. She had no extra clothes to put on when she got to school, so she had to walk around and sit in her wet dog smelling clothes all day. Then she realized that all of her homework wasn't in her backpack because her three-year-old brother had taken all of it out and put mud in her backpack. After school, she missed the bus again and had to walk home in the rain. When she got home, her mom had decided to make the worst dinner of all time, liver and onions, along with leftover meatloaf from a couple nights ago. After dinner, she went to take a shower, but there was no hot water because the washer was running. She went to bed still smelling like wet dog from earlier and had nightmares of what would happen the next day.
ReplyDeleteThe End.
The boy woke with a start, panting as if Ms. Pegason had just made him run up and down the stairs of the Empire State Building as fast as he possibly could. Hugo’s younger brother Miles had awoken him from a terrible nightmare that he was having, only to be sucked back into reality where a true nightmare was taking place. It was a gloomy Monday morning and the clock had struck 7:35 A.M. He was running late!
ReplyDeleteHugo jumped out of bed as quick as he possibly could realized that he only had five minutes to get ready for school. The bus would be arriving any minute now, and there was no way the bus driver was going to wait for him. So he skipped showering and brushing his teeth. All he had time for was changing his clothes, which had a bunch of holes in them, and packing candy and cookies for his lunch. By the time he had gotten one of his shoes on, the bus had arrived. And driving that bus was a cranky old man who was hitting the bus horn about a million times and shouting out of the window. “COME ON, BOY! I DON’T HAVE ALL DAY!”
Running out of the house with only one shoe on, Hugo climbed onto the bus. He was greeted by the driver with a grunt and felt the man’s angry eyes upon him. Trying to get to his seat, the boy tripped one of the little kids and ended up scraping his knee. As he got up, one of the older kids threw a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at him. A few minutes later, a kid puked on him. This can’t be happening to me, he thought. But it can’t get any worse, right?
Wrong!
For the rest of the morning, everything that could go wrong on a daily basis did. And no one seemed to care about his terrible Hugo’s day was going. So he went and stayed in the bathroom for the remainder of the school day … only to get stuck in the toilet seat.
