We put our scuba gear on, and begin the hunt to the river’s floor, to pick up left behind treasures. The water was a bit muggy underneath, all you see was dirt on the ground, tubers hands and legs just floating around, coins laying, a few broken watches, and a bunch of trash. We actually didn’t find treasure, but the experience was fun. I took advantage of everything that I got to do that day. Swimming in the water, sunbathing, eating juicy burgers straight from the grill, tubing down the river, scuba diving to find lost treasure, and enjoying the beautiful scenery the river offers.
When I think of a place that relaxes me and brings me great joy, the duck blind always comes to mind. It’s the best getaway to escape everyday life. This place feels like a second home to me. The more I go, the more it amazes me. I’ve shared more memories with the best friends I could as for.
Sometimes he would get to go to his grandma’s house which wasn’t nightmare at all. When he came back Tuck started beating him again he tried not to cry because he didn’t want Tuck thinking he was a two year old. Billy’s hatred for tuck was unimaginable. This is when he began to hear the monster in the closet. He thought it was a rat because there were plenty of rats in the house.
Susie was dropped off at the Elsewhere park by Orsen. He said He would pick her up at 11:00 p.m. when the park closed. There Susie met up with three of her friends which Jerry was only licensed to drive for a few months. Susie only lived a few blocks from the park. When the park closed she was waiting for Orsen to come pick her up, but the law was that minors have a curfew and have to be home at 11:00 p.m.
Screams of laughter, shrieks of, “But he started it!” and whistles resonate everywhere. These kids are searching for one thing: relief. The feeling of the water’s icy presence enveloping and shielding their bodies from the sweltering rays is the epitome of perfection. However, for a lifeguard, more fun means a higher possibility of danger. At any second, one of the eighty-five recreational swimmers could submerge, and never recover to the surface.
Aaron Pierce Intro to Sociology Professor Bess Cleveland MW 10:35-11:50 October 10, 2011 Saint James Art Fair I had an opportunity to go to the St. James Art Fair a few weekends ago. I was there for a few hours, and had the chance to observe different types and groups of people. I found the fair to be a good place to observe the social interactions between people while they were out enjoying themselves. The first thing I walked past was the St. James “UN-fair”. Due to the judging bureaucracy in place at St. James, artists that were not selected for the juried art group organized their own “fair”.
After the first couple days of getting used to everything and getting settled in, the cabins start doing activities together. For example, we may go on the obstacle course which includes a zip line or go rappelling down the side of a mountain. If we have an activity to do we will wake up around 6:30 a.m. and walk to what we are doing. After our activity we will walk back to camp and go to breakfast. The food at Young Life camp is to die for.
Well it turns out at FEMA is a joke. We only received $1,200, 3 weeks after the storm, because we had insurance, and people down the street, without insurance, received a $30,000 check in the mail one day after the storm. Instead of complaining, we took that money and bought a brand new and safer storm shelter. One year later, FEMA sends us a letter saying that we did not qualify for disaster relief, even though we lost everything, and they wanted their money back. I bet the people without insurance didn’t have to pay back the $30,000 they received.
A Day Mushroom Hunting in Tryon Oklahoma When I pull into Tryon, Oklahoma everything that’s been on my mind and all my troubles go away. It is a place I can relax and spend a few carefree hours with my family. Tryon is a small quite town, it a very peaceful, friendly, green and flowery place to be. The folks that live in Tryon are very welcoming. Not a single person will drive into Tryon and not get a smile or a friendly wave as they drive down the street.
It was the first day back from Winter break and I hadn't seen Miles since our kiss at his house. He said he needed time to think about what he wanted and I respected that since it was a lot to take in. Not everyone can be like me and already know what they want, but he had said that I made him feel good which is how he makes me feel. As I walked up to the school I noticed Zoe was there, we hadn't talked since she ditched me for Zig the night of the dance. But since that's what brought me and Miles closer together I couldn't hold it against her as I walked towards her glancing at the flyer she had plucked out of Beckys hand.
