Though this assignment seemed simple I soon realized that it would be more difficult than I thought as I made several attempts at looking out a window in various locations. I first attempted to look out the hospital window where I volunteer but I kept getting interrupted, go figure! Then, I again attempted to complete the assignment while looking out the light rail window but the smooth motions of it kept putting me to sleep. Finally, I was able to concentrate at Noble library… well sort of.
The days have been absolutely beautiful lately. It is neither scorching hot nor cold enough that a sweater is necessary. The weather is perfect and can be felt even as I stare out the cobweb infested window. Students have shorts and tank tops on as well as stylish sunglasses on. I see a cute summer dress that I want.
I continue to stare out the window and realize that I had never seen so many bike racks before and wonder whether they have just been installed. I’m pretty sure that they haven’t because I would have seen more activity in that area as I pass by this area at least every other day. My attention is then drawn to a guy that is riding his bike with no hands and am impressed and wish I could be as talented. This ambition is short-lived though when I see another student whizzing by with a yellow bike similar to one that I own. This bike now sits in our garage collecting dust; the frame is crooked as a result of an accident that I had with it. I crashed into a stationary car.
Out of the corner of my eye I detect a back and forth motion. I direct my attention to this moving object. The student is walking from side to side while on his cell phone. He then hops on top of an elevated brick wall and begins to use it as a tightrope. When I am finally relaxed and enjoying the balancing act I realize that I am much too comfortable and that I need to be worrying about the assignments that I have due tonight and the practical I have yet to prepare for. I begin to panic a little. I pull out my laptop, another short-lived moment.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Mercedes and I just wanted to start off by saying hello. I loved this blog.
It’s funny because I have been noticing the attire of students lately too. Everyone is ready for summer; I’m just not ready to be done with summer. I’m still wearing long black full sleeves shirts and long jeans. Your blog was concise and to the point, not to much detail and at the same time just enough. Really great blog look forward to more.
