Working at home.

Working at home….. it’s so strange so different so… weird.

apparently my mom knew that this day would come because she’s been hoarding whatever would be helpful in a drawer downstairs for 5 years straight! My mom even has DESKS in the basement from an old school she used to work at.

now since me and everyone in the district is being homeschooled I think it’s safe to say that it kind of stinks. Reason number one which doesn’t even have to do with school unless you include the bus YOU CANT GO ANYWHERE!!!!!!!
number two you can’t see your friends and like I said you can’t go see them either because of this stupid coronavirus garbage. And number three school is better then homeschool.

but there are reasons why I LIKE being homeschooled first of all people like me are a long way from school so it takes forever to get home plus all you have to do is go straight to your work with no mini lesson.

but besides that I’d rather be at school with my friends my teachers and even the classrooms I miss. So I really hope this Coronavirus dies          when it warms up a little so everything can go back to normal. So we can get back to school and say goodbye to homeschooling……

The Hotel

                                                                          The Hotel

It was the year 2017 when me and my mother were on what seemed to be a forever drive.  I was in the back of the Rustbucket Durango crowded with unnecessary needs that we didn’t even need for the trip.

You might not know a clue what’s happening right at this moment so let me fill you in with what you missed…

Me and my mother were going to a 4-star hotel where there we could do or get anything we want! My mom has never done anything like this with me mostly because of my two younger brothers both mom and dad have to deal with. Now that mom is finally free (and poor dad is probably losing his mind) we can do whatever we want now that there’s only me and mom (like I’ve mentioned several times).

Suddenly while I was staring out the window there stood the hotel with fancy lights in every corner you could see. Ethan we’re here-but she didn’t even have to finish her sentence because I was already running out of the hot humid horrible car at the door.

All mom did was smile as she went to the trunk to get her stuff. Once she had her things we stepped into the hotel no screaming brothers no dad yelling at them just us.

The first thing we saw was the beautiful decorations and noticed a small kind man handing us our room key. When we found our room it was a small little room with an enormous bed a recliner a fair sized bathroom and a tv the size of the bathtub it’s self. Mom was just as amazed as I was just staring at things repeating this is awesome Ethan this is awesome Ethan this is awesome Ethan and indeed it was.

Hey Ethan I heard this place has a pool mom said randomly course I’d love to go in the pool! Once we had our bathing suits on we raced to the pool which seemed to be the size of a football field and as deep as Atlantic Ocean itself when I looked down with my goggles. When me and mom stepped in it was like being in a hot tub but there wasn’t much to do anyway there was no pool toys of any sort and there was no diving board either but the temperature  of the pool practically forced us to stay same with 20 other people who were starting to look like prunes for how much time they spent in the pool.

That was about the time when we decided to head to our room and call it a night.

Once we were in our room we just changed our clothes and put on god knows what on the tv. After a couple of minutes of just laying on the bed I realized how tired I was and once I turned around I slipped into a deep deep sleep………

 

 

Out To The Movies

One day in the beginning of December it was like any other day…

It was after math class and we were going into literacy I was waiting in line ready for the next period.

Until this kid named Solomon who I have a pretty good relationship with asked me some thing no one has ever asked for a long time…

Solomon asked if he wanted me to watch STAR WARS THE RISE OF SKYWALKER with some other friends of his at the the movie theaters next Sunday.

He knew I liked Star Wars and it would give me some thing to do and look forward to during Christmas vacation.

I couldn’t wait to go home after school and try to get a yes from my parents it was fine with them as long as I didn’t act like a fool at the movies.

Sure enough I was right about what I said and all I had to do was be serious but how could I be a fool when the last Star \Wars is in theaters and I’ll be in front of the screen?

2 days later it was the big day and I was as ready as I’ll ever be so when we pulled in at Smitty’  dad gave me my ticket I said goodbye as he drove away……..

Usually my family is always late but this time I was right on time because when I pulled in so did Solomon.

Me him and the other kids were ready for the movie to start but the movie wouldn’t start in about 18 minutes so we gave the cashier the tickets and played Terminator Salvation and racing games in the arcade.

Finally it was time for the movie to start and we all got front row (expect me and Nolan) but we didn’t really care we still did get pretty good spots.

Then the movie started but for writing this blog I don’t want to spoil anything so all I’m going to say that in the middle of the movie a waitress was walking around looking for some body to order something.

I decided I could order some thing since I brought a little bit of money with me. when I called her over she came right over I’ve been meaning to get her last time but I was to focused on the movie and the menu.

May I take your order? she said in a way that meant she was annoyed by some thing.

May I have an iron man burger size small please I say with a side of french fries. when I finished my order she left.

By now the movie was about a third done with when the waitress came back with a burger the size of my face with the french fries stuffed to the side thank you! I said while I thought the burger was going to last me the week and how good of a deal it was for just 11 dollars!!

For the rest of the movie I enjoyed myself as I ate the with the bacon sticking out with melty cheese with tons of french fries.  I left as the movie finished people spilled out of the movies but not us as we shot terminators in the arcade until it was time to go.
