My Thoughts on the Inauguration

My thoughts on the inauguration are very crazy. Even though I wasn't able to see it due to a scheduled class during the time of it, history was made. It is good to have someone black as the President of the United States. That opened the door for other ethnic groups. I am glad that Barack Obama is now our president and I congratulate him. All I know is that he better not mess up and leave broken promises. That's how George Bush got on my bad side. Anyway, his wife looked good for to be her age, but did you see that dress she had on. I know it probably was expensive when they were discussing all the fabric that went into that dress, but all that yellow was uncalled for. I never heard of a color called lemongrass yellow. That brooch she had on her neck was lovely. Now that was pretty to look at. It would've been too flashy to see him in a lemongrass yellow suit. When I was able to see a little bit of what happened, I saw the parade. They had all kinds of bands on there. One of the close bands called Petal High School was on there. It was good until I saw the gay and lesbian parade. I was just thinking, "I believe I saw everything." Anyway, he spoke with confidence at the inauguration, having the feeling of winning over people's hearts. The previews of the inauguration were almost on every channel that I was watching. I was quite tired of it.

My Holiday Away From School

When I left school that lovely snowy day of December the 12th, I felt like I was leaving something behind. It was my freedom. I was thinking about not seeing my friends and not having places to go. I was also thinking that, at least, I'll be able to spend time with my family. Getting home wasn't nothing since I slept the whole day. I stayed at home for the rest of the night. I rarely got out unless I had to. I visited my mother and father's side of the family. It was good seeing them again but I had to end my day at the house, doing nothing but watching TV and playing Sudoku. I did that at least a week straight. My friends and I would talk, text message, and comment on each other's Facebook about us missing each other. My Christmas break was too long. I was bored. Me being bored made the gas hand in the car gradually drop everyday. I met my friend from Nashville and spent the day with him. At least I had fun while I was out with him. We were in K-Mart, playing Guitar Hero. I was playing the guitar and he was singing with laryngitis. That was LOUD!!! I was bored once again until Christmas came. I finally got my ring that I wanted and worn it with pride, even though in was two times bigger in size. I was excited to be around my family and having a good time. I didn't miss the food they served at school. I was looking forward to Christmas dinner!! Anyway, I played Rock Band with my cousins and had a great time. After that day, it was the same, old routine again. I was missing friends and waiting for the next year to get here. We celebrated New Year's Day at church. It was nice to start your year inside the church. After that day, I'm waiting for the weekend to come. I finally have my car fixed and I will be driving back. I was too happy. I believe my parents didn't want to let me go. I packed my stuff, they prayed over me, and I was on my way back to school where I was welcomed with a warm hug by a special somebody.
