On a sunny, warm April day on which I do not have to go to school... I am sitting inside. On the computer. I just read 20 pages of MLIA.com and I need something else to do. So guess what kids? I just invented a challenge for myself. I am going to give myself 15 minutes to write this blog post, starting at the end of this paragraph. No matter what, I have to publish this in exactly 15 minutes. The point of this for me is to help myself improve at writing in a limited amount of time, which my english teacher says I must learn for the SOLs and other things of a standardized regurgitational educational nature. The point of this for you is just to laugh at how much I am about to fail. Here we go! The time is 3:52 pm, and at 4:07 I shall stop.
Pressure, pressure, pressure! Oh gosh, what the heck am I going to say...
~tick, tock, tick, tock~
I suppose I'll just start by telling you a little bit about what just happened to me. It was either that or start ranting about LOLplants.com, and that might not have gone so well.
Seeing as it is a very nice 84 degree (fahrenheit, thank goodness) day, I decided to open my curtains and let the lovely spring breeze roll in. A few minutes later I walked back into my room to find that I stupidly left my binder open on the floor, and now all my valuable notes from health class about drugs, peer pressure and STDs are scattered throughout my room and quite possibly all over my front yard.
I have exactly ten minutes left. I can't decide if I feel like that's a lot of time or hardly any at all.
~just to be honest, a full minute has gone by and all I did was take off my socks~
Right now I'm going to cheat a little bit and make lists of my three favorite and three least favorite things that have happened to me this week.
The Three Worst Things That Have Happened To Me This Week:
1 I wasted thirty minutes of my life reading LOLplants.com
2 On Tuesday night I had a dream where I was an elephant and I stepped on a squirrel
3 On Wednesday night the dream repeated itself, only that time I was the squirrel.
The Three Best Things That Have Happened To Me This Week:
1 My grade in geometry went from a 78 to a 90
2 I had a nerf gun fight in my friends basement.
3 I won the nerf gun fight
For the last three minutes, I am going to come up with as many smiley emotocon whatchamacallits as I can:
:) :D xD :O *<:-) O__o ^.^ -__- (*_*) D: :{D :P :-(I)
and... time's up! What? You don't know what that last smiley is? It's Homer Simpson with a doughnut in his mouth. Yes, I actually did invent it. You're welcome, internet!
Well that was... enlightening. Just fair warning, I'll probably do this again sometime soon. Eventually I'll get it down. Something tells me you aren't allowed to draw pictures of Homer Simpson on the bottom of your SAT test.
LOL, that's definitely a good way to get used to timed writings!
ReplyDeleteI remember that glorious Monday... And now it's almost spring break! Yay!
