Author's note: This is a piece about how summer is almost here and how everyone is looking forward to it. We wait for summer as we look at the snow and go through spring. When it gets to the end of the year (like right now) everyone starts thinking about summer.
It was that time of year; it was almost summer vacation. Everyone was restless to get out of the cold, sterile school as they stared dreamily out the windows at the snow through the winter. Slowly the snow started to disappear and you could see patches of dead, light brown grass. The trees started to sprout flowers and everything regained it color. The weather got warmer and warmer by the day.
The people turned from being stiff and tired in the cold weather, to being lively and talkative in the morning. At the end of the year there was just more energy. People laughed more and everything was brighter for longer.
Days passed by like hours in that building. Everything was a blur at the end of the year. It was almost like I didn't remember anything at the end.
Before I knew it, it was the last day of school. The short hours ticked by as we said some goodbyes and made plans for the summer. Teachers tried to control us to make their end of the year speeches. Everyone was anticipating the ringing of the bell to unleash them into their break.
Chaos broke as we heard the one sound we were longing for. Screams erupted through the crowd as we took the last things in our locker and took off in our separate ways with friends. Finally, we were free. Summer was here at last.
Yikes! It sounds like pandemonium broke out. There are some little errors in spelling and usage which I think you should visit to clear up the final draft. Otherwise, I appreciated the authentic writing about a topic you are truly interested in. At this point, perhaps all of us are.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until summer! Also it was a really good and exciting story. Great writing.
ReplyDeleteThis really made me excited for summer, less than a month left!
ReplyDeleteI really like this piece. It really captures the feel of waiting all winter for the summer to come and then for it to finally be here, and fore us to be free at last. I love how you described the people going from stiff and tired to talkative and energetic. Great job!
