The summer when I was thirteen

With my best friend and her family,
Going on a week long trip up north,
Get to the camp site, throw ourselves out of the car,
Full of excitement to start,
Set up tents, get out the flashlights for later,
Hurry quick to get the tubes blown up,
Say we put on sun screen so we don’t get in trouble,
Strip down to our bathing suits,
Run as fast as we can to the river,
Float down the distance we were allowed about one million times,
Knocking each other off our tubes, big waves of water fly,
Lots of laughter, tons of fun, time goes quick,
The sky is getting dark, mosquitoes are biting our wet cold skin,
We are told to come back to have a bite to eat and go to sleep,
In the tent we whisper, trying not to wake the adults,
Telling scary stories and snacking on cooler ranch doritos,
Both get tired and soon rest our heads,
Flash lights off, we shortly fall asleep.

My life right now.

My life is very busy, and somtimes overwhelming. I work almost every single day. This past week ive only gotten one day off. Which I will not be suprised if I get called in that day; it always happens. I am trying to diet, and I am trying to make it to the gym everyday, but it is hard to do because between school and work I have no time at all. A diet is the hardest part because since I work at mcdonalds, and im there all day long, the easiest dinner is to just order some food from there. I have no time for friends or my boyfriend. I feel like I am losing my social life. Im so done with school. Im getting so sick of it. I cannot wait to graduate. Im mostly sick of my internship, Im ready to end that now! Im always tired because I get up early for school and then work right after school and get out late. I have a boyfriend. His name is Danny. I do not get alot of time to spend with him because our schedules collide, but it is okay, because I am still happy to be dating him. When we do get to spend time together, I always have fun. He helps lighten things up for me. He is the most unpredictable person I have ever met in my entire life. So I'm always on my toes. I cannot wait for spring break! I took off every single day from work! Im going to make sure I enjoy myself off from school and work! Then the next thing coming is SUMMER!

Tension.

Its 3:55 pm,
I walk in McDonalds,
I pass though the front,
Walk in the crew room,
Look across the hall,
I see dish area full,
“John! You didn’t do any of your dishes!”
Someone said he was standing around,
He did nothing all day,
“You frustrate me!”
It’s a nice calm day,
I go to work,
John’s in back doing dishes,
I clock in ready to start,
I do my work, not johns left over’s.
