New Story Hope You all Enjoy

So right now I'm wondering if I should have even taken this vacation. Now you may ask why start here, and I know that its a bad place to start but I personally don’t think that it is. So maybe I should start from the beginning. April 18 1995 in the hospit- okay maybe not that beginning, so the beginning of this story. Let’s see I was riding my bike to work I am the top baker in Oklahoma or so i tell myself. I wake up at 5 am in the morning everyday to get ready I usually leave my apartment at 5:30 and walk to work, but today felt special and the sun was burning hot so I decided to get to work early and go by bike. I got to work parked my bike and took my key out ready for work. I opened the door and started baking bread and I.  baked over 20 trays with so many ovens it seems easy but it is still highly difficult to get the design and to not burn them and have the recipe right but I usually do pretty good I only have to redo two or three trays if I have a bad day. I organized the trays and then started making extras when my boss came in, her name is Caroline and she had always loved my bread but thought that it would be overwhelming making so much in such a small amount of time, I always said it was okay and it wasn’t tiring but it really was. Making so much bread in one day was tiring but I knew that I shouldn’t give up and I should just continue on and it complain. Today I had not only made 20 trays but also 30 more and extra donuts to attract new customers. Since it was soon going to be summer we had just put in a juice and Icee machine so there would probably be more business towards that and also new breeds added to the menu. My boss looked around all the bread was ready ice machine was working fresh juice had been served and the new menu items were still in the oven and what she said was almost unbelievable, “STOP, you’ve been working too much and all of the extra menu options were just a joke of adding them but you did a great job of that,” she walked towards the oven and took a look at the bread I baking and then looked at me. “I am very happy with all of your work but you are taking a vacation,” I think at that point my mind went in a blur and I felt like she had told me that I had been the chosen one out of all of the people in the world. I think my facial expression hadn’t caught onto my feelings  and I was frowning or something like that because the next words that came out of my boss's mouth surprised me even more “Look I know you really love your job and you always love to go beyond and above any of my expectations but you have to go on a vacation, you’ve never even had a day off so I decided to get you a vacation, and you can’t say no I got the plane tickets and a reservation to a hotel with the amount of money that you would earn working for the time your gone.” My face suddenly exploded in happiness I as so happy I almost jumped and hugged boss. “Oh my gosh thank you but-” “No buts I have everything planned out all I need if for you to take your tickets and get packing.” She had just kicked me out so I went home and placed the tickets on my desk when I noticed I didn’t know when or where I was going so I checked the tickets. The flight took off at 6:00 pm with a 6 hour time difference and a 16 hour flight the plane would land at 4:00 pm and I would probably get out of the main airport around 5:00 or 5:30 well at least I presume. I remember my boss told me she had reserved a hotel for me to stay at when I looked at the reservation it was at Iberostar Selection Royal El Mansour & Thalasso a 5 star hotel and I was amazed there was a pool and amazing spacious rooms. As Excited as I was and how amaz d air really hadn’t noticed how much time had passed it was almost eight and I had to get packed and ready to go for tomorrow I knew I had the day off but I didn’t want to leave work, it was such a strange feeling like having to say goodbye to something important which was a strange feeling considering that I had hated being so overwhelmed with work but without it I felt empty. I got through the morning just fine I got a mcmuffin and a medium dark coffee at McDonalds because it’s a cheap and quick breakfast option. I got back to my apartment with an hour to spare so I got all of my essentials and made sure double and triple checked if I had everything then hen it got close to two o’clock I ordered a taxi. I had to be at the airport 3-4 hours before my flight and I just wanted to be cautious so I left early. I got to Will Rogers World Airport five minutes before two. I got out of the taxi and put my luggage on the sidewalk. I walked towards the door and went inside, I checked in a little later and Is was in my airline part of the airport and close to a food court. I wasn’t really hungry but it was a 16 hour flight so I couldn’t wait long before getting hungry I got some cookies chips water tea and coffee. I felt ready, prepared and excited. I sat down and looked around it felt so peaceful the complete opposite of what I had expected I thought that it would be loud and obnoxious. I put on my headphones and listened to music while reading a book and writing about it. I was always into literature and reading it kept me up and running I felt excited to read more every time so I brought in a couple of books. I was reading while I waited for the flight to come in and the airplane to arrive, I looked up every 10 minutes up at the screen to see if the plane had arrived and to my surprise it took over an hour it really wasn’t surprising because it would be a long flight and then having to get the plane ready. I thought of all the possibilities of why it would be late. Once it was close to the time that the pane was supposed to get to the airport I stood up and got all my things back in my black leather backpack and put all of my garbage to the side i got my sweater and wrapped it around my waist and put my backpack on and took my garbage on a trip to their new home. Soon the loudspeaker had announced that the plane had just come in but there was going to be a slight delay. I didn’t know what to do or where I needed to go or maybe if I had to stay there and just wait a little longer. I decided to stay seated and wait for another announcement to come on and give information on the flight because so far there was almost no information given. At this moment is when I noticed that I knew where I was going and why but I didn’t know much about the country. I decided to look up some tourist spots in tunis which is the capita and I was going to got here no matter what I didn’t care if my hotel was far or close I was getting there. I tried to find out some of the basic information and where to visit where to go and any great views. I found out that the Atlas Mountains were a beautiful view to see and a very important geographic feature along with the Medjerda RIver. I didn’t even know about this country until about two days ago and I already love it. Maybe it was ow it was described or maybe  the pictures that I had seen but it looked like a beautiful place to visit. Soon the loud speaker came on and they they announced that the plane was ready to board and I was thinking that there was almost no waiting time but then I looked at the time and it wasn’t that much time but almost a hour had passed and I was pretty amazed that that much time had passed while i was figuring out some facts about tunisia and where I was going. I think that I found a decent amount of information. Once I had boarded the plane and gotten in my seat I started reading again i knew that i couldn’t be on my phone so I didn’t put on music. I was really getting confortable I had dropped tea on my hand and my hands had gotten sticky so I stood up and went o to wash my hands. I came back and I couldn’t get back in a good positon to relax. The rest of the plane ride i was reading or writing and listening to music most of the time. Once the plane ride was over and i got off the long 16 hour plane ride and went through the long lines of checking into a forgin country that I had never been in. I was extreamly excited and nervous. After a long time of waiting and questioning I was finally able to go get my luggage and get going. I got to the gate and saw a lot of people waiting for family and workers. I went through the gates and tried to get a taxi. I got to my hotel room and saw the amazing view it had along with the great space I unpacked and got settled. Most tourists wouldn’t know the language or their way around but lucky me when I waas a child I learned some aribic but not that much altough french is another known language since Tunisia was origianally concered by france. I was excited to travel around and see how it was around me the buildings the stores shops and to find some fun things to do. I first made sure I had some money and here in Tunisia the money that was used was dinars i substituted my american dollars with dinars. I was starting to get hungry with such a long flight I was ready to eat and I had a couple of traditional dishes I wanted to try. I went walking and found a resturant that had what I wanted to try. Brik a l’oeuf I had heard of it and I really wanted to try it for myself to see how good it is. I ordered my food and it was served way fancier than expected it to be, but sometimes that can be a bad sign because they are trying to hide the bad taste in the food, I was really hoping that it want the case but I couldn’t know until I actually tried it. Once I tasted it I could feel the rich delicious flavor. I had to go back to the hotel soon because I wanted to finish reading and unpacking. I had almost finished the book that I had brought with me so I HAD TO finish it with such a small amount left of the book. I went back in the hotel and the worst thing ever happend. This didn’t happen right away but I saw a bee in my hotel room I thought it must’ve gotten in when i went inside it came in with me and i was like oh it’s fine it’ll get out soon then out of nowhere comes another one, and it might not seem all that bad but after a while there were five bees and I knew that there was something wrong so i called down someone that actually worked there to see if they could solve the problem. The examined most of the room and checked outside around the room and they didn’t find anything until they found a tiny hole in the wall and they saw a bee fly out of it. They immidiatley told me to get my stuff packed and that they would move me to a different. After a while it had turned out that there was a giant bee hive inside the wall, this was what seemed to me the most crazy and obsurd thing that would ever happen and the worst thing about this is that since the hotel had to fix this there were bees in other rooms too and I had gotten stung so many times and it was mostly in the same place i really hated that i ended up going to the hospital. I am slowly feeling better but to be honest I think I like to be working in the bakery than having to be in the hospital because of bees. Sadly I had to go back to exact same hotel even though I felt like it was trying to kill me and maybe truly it was but I really didn’t want to find out so I cut my vacation short and had to say goodbye to the estimated 11,000,000 people in tunisia and go back to my home and relax where there are no bees

Discovery

So I don’t know if anyone that uses blogger knows about this feature but I just figured it out. It might be nothing it bu I love it now if your reading this on my log you will notice that THE BACKGROUND IS DIFFERENT! I figured out how to change it and I an highly proud of myself of figuring that out and of the image that is the background because if you didn’t know I take pictures and I tool the one that is set as my blogger background so I really am proud of it and being able to show it on my blogger. I also want to thank anyone who read my SOL or Slice of Life blogs I was able to go on a field trip for accomplishing those blogs and attempting to blog everyday and that made me very happy and the reason I bring that up is because that picture was taken on that field trip and it brings back the joy happiness and excitement we all had.

Sunday April 21st 2019 Slice of Life day 21

Guess what day it is… yes it's Sunday and the 21 great guesses but that's not it IITS EASTER!! Now I know it isn't that exciting to most people because it might be a little boring but it's not like that in our family we go Easter egg hunting with the eggs that the Easter bunny leaves. Now that might seem silly but don't ruin it plus I haven't said the whole story. So each year we go Easter egg hunting well I shouldn't say we but my little brothers do, see this is why I enjoy it so much because I get to prepare the eggs the prizes, the set up, the toys, and then put them out to find. This is extremely tiring because you can't risk being caught by your brothers and they are always home so the time I make them are late at night so it's easier to do that than to risk being caught well at least in my opinion because my brothers are very sneaky and unexpected. They also don't care if someone isn't awake at 5 am if they wake up they don't care if everyone is awake at 2. Which is VERY annoying but I deal with it and it isn't as bad as other situations so I have learned to deal with it. Plus I love my brothers no matter what they do 😁🤔 totally.

Saturday April 20 2019 Slice of Life day 20

So today nothing special happened. I was just cleaning my room. Specifically my closet. The hardest part about it is everything kept falling on my head YAY! I mainly did this to prove my dad wrong and show him I can clean. Without my phone, this might sound weird but the only reason it does is my wording. I just “can’t let go of my phone” well according to my dad, so I decided that I was going to clean my. Closet without my phone and prove my dad wrong so I was going to clean out my closet and then my drawers. Sadly when I was cleaning the bags that were on my closet floor and throwing mostly everything away and then my mom brought in bags that were for donation and I had to look over them and see if they were going to be donated or thrown away. That meant more work for me I was going to finish cleaning the whole closet and have it organized and then start on the bags when suddenly my dad bagels in my room and shouts look at this huge mess! I look around. My room was mostly clean except for the bags on the floor, my dad told me to get rid of the the bags so I put all of the things I was cleaning inside the closer again and started sorting I had shut my door because it was toys and if my little brothers passed by they would probably take them. My dad ONCE AGAIN bagels in and says LEAVE THIS DOOR OPEN YOU ARE ALWAYS LOCKED INSIDE YOUR ROOM AND SO PRIVATE THIS DOOR STAYS OPEN FROM NOW ON! And LUCKY me my little brothers come behind my dad and they look at the toys. I see in their faces they are resisting the urge to take them and play with them I rush and sort them as fast as possible and I hope that they don't take anything. Soon enough my dad and my brothers left to go to the store my dad had asked me if I wanted to go but my response had to be no. I really didn't have a choice since I had to finish cleaning and organizing. I finished off the bags and all of the trash was piling up it was almost 6 full bags so I took all the bags and shoved them in the kitchen garbage can take the bathroom garbage and take it to the kitchen garbage and soon enough the garbage can if full. I stop by my room and take my jacket and my shoes I put them on and hurry outside and and take the garbage out then I go back inside get a big bin and bring all he donations clothes toys things we don't use. And I carry all the bags to the bin. All of the floor is clean and I am so tired soon enough my dad and brothers get back and I just want to lay down and relax but I can't I have to keep helping out.

Friday April 19th 2019 Slice of Life day 19

Well today wasn't any ORDINARY day there wasn't any school today because of good Friday which was both good and bad. The good things were that I got to spend time with my mom and my brothers and we got to stay at home, but a bad thing is my dad wasn't there for most of the day and another is that well there isn't any school. I know it's weird well at least for most people but I actually enjoy going to school mainly math I have LOVED math since kindergarten I was always ahead of the class and I was one of the best students. Math has slowly gotten harder but I am still ahead of most people I just don't like showing it so I usually drawing my journal instead of raising my hand I only answer the questions when the teacher pick on me because I'm not participating, I always answer correctly but I don't like answering I feel like I'm going to say something wrong or mess up but I still enjoy math. But the thing I am happy about school is that there isn't social studies or ELA. I actually quite enjoy ELA well the class the only bad thing is that that is the class I struggle the most with I usually faze off and sometimes when I read I usually get completely confused on what the book says and a couple years ago I read but I didn’t understand what it said what it was saying what the words meant all together and I hated it. I had always gotten teased for so many things including reading badly and not understanding what I read. One summer I kept reading over 20 short books and I slowly started to understand what it was saying. Ow I can finally read understanding what it says and find meaning in words and phrases. Even though I still have trouble with ELA and reading but I have gotten better and I am kind of happy that there isn't school today because así don’t have to go to ELA or social studies.

Thursday April 18 2019 Slice of Life day 18

Today was the dance and I wanted to help out but since had forgotten to ask the principal or vice principal so during ELA we were able to watch a movie so while we were watching I decided that I was going to send her the email letting them know I wanted to help out in any way possible. They didn’t respond but once I got out of class my social Justice teacher came up to me and told me that I could help out and that was because she was the coordinator of the dance. I was so excited because in my past experience it was extremely fun helping out with the dance and I was honored that they let me help out. After school we hat to meet in the social Justice and I was so excited but also a bit confused. Once I went in I saw other students and there were a lot and so I thought maybe there was a club that was funding the dance and it wasn’t just people volunteering. I looked around at the people and put my stuff down and sat down in a seat. The teacher started giving jet the different snacks that we were going to sell and tells us to give them all different prices to sell at the dance, she also told us to give the wrist bands and glow sticks prices. We had decided on all the prices it was time to divide into teams one for preparing outside the entrance, the cafeteria, and to prepare the jobs in the classroom.  I prepared the jobs my job was to put the little connector on the glow in the dark bracelets. The hardest part is not breaking them while putting them on. Once we finished setting those up and the entrance was decorated everyone that was participating came in and wrote down when they wanted to participate in their shifts. We got the shifts all set up and all we needed it to really set everything up everything was all completely decorated but not set up so we brought the selling signs and the wristbands the glow sticks and the box to to pay. We got all of the outside set up and we had gotten the cafeteria decorated we were just waiting until the DJ was done setting up and until it was five to let people in. Once five came around I was excited happy and proud.

Wednesday April 17 2019 Slice of Life day 17

Yesterday was my friends birthday and she didn’t come to school so I was hoping that she would come to school today and she did. When I saw her I went up to her and asked her why she didn’t come to school she gave me a “seriously” look, then I looked at her hands she had gotten a manicure and she had her nails done with different colors, then I look at mine they looked like little shrubs I felt sad I was boring my nails were short colorless and looked like blobs. But not only had she gotten her nails done but she had gotten a new phone which was a big surprise since she had gotten her phone taken away for many months and all of a sudden she has a brand new phone. I was a little sad because I had brought her birthday present yesterday and I wasn't able to give it to her and I said if she wasn't there she wasn't getting it and so I kept it for myself. I would say what it was but she might read this blog so it not the best Idea. Well since today in the morning she saw me with milk on the hallway like always she said we should start like a little guessing system where she guesses what drink Im having in the morning everyday and I agreed hoping she would get them wrong hopefully she does so I can see her fail, yes I know Im so mean it's fine I was born to be that way the end I'll survive. Well anyways I didn't have much to say after this so we said our goodbyes and I went to my after school club.

Tuesday April 16 2019 Slice of Life day 16

Today we were able to use our Rota board that we were supposed to make and our pieces to have our Rota competition. I was unfortunately not done all I needed were my rota pieces I hadn’t made any yet so I cut out squares out of note cards and made the same symbols as my rota board had and I colored it quickly before class has officially started. We started with our first round we had partners and the person that I was against had won so they went to the winner part of the room and I stayed in the losers portion. I teamed up with someone else and we played again and luckily I had I G my strategy and I won I was happy and proud because I had done horribly the first round. We were just about to start our last and final round when I dropped all my Rota board pieces that really made me feel like I was really bad at keeping myself organized. I picked up all my pieces as fast as I could and I stood up then tried to find a partner and once I did we played and we almost had an even amount of points but on the last play whoever won won the whole thing luckily I had my strategy prepared and I was able to win the last round before the timer rang and I had won the last game.

i believe in a thing called love talent show cover at heritage middle sc...

Monday April 15th 2019 Slice of Life day 15

Today I was still obsessing over the talent show so I looked it up on YouTube and I was successful to find find one of the acts the final act my favorite act and I was so happy so Sweater guy and the other guy with the guitar were performing I believe Ina. Thing called love on the bass and it was AWESOME!! So when it was practiced it was already really good but they added a little twist at the end when they were playing The end of the song when the there is a drum solo in the original song they did a guitar solo and not only was it a amazing guitar solo but Jake walked off the stage and down the aisle playing his guitar and as he walked he was nodding his head to the beat he stopped half way and turned around he went up the three steps and up the stairs back onto the stage and continued singing and playing. At one point close to the end they made everyone clap along and it made it sound so much better. Soon enough the song ended but instead of walking off the stage like everyone else Jake thought that since it was his last year and the last act he would do something epic, he went towards the end of the stage and jumped off of it. That was a pretty epic ending if I do say so myself and that talent show was okay but that ending was worth watching. So once I had found the song on YouTube I listened to it all of the time and I really enjoyed listening to it. That video truly made my day and I think it will also make yours just a little better. I will have the link at the end.

I also just wanted to apologize for posting everything late but I had a very busy April and writing wasn’t really in my Schedule. Thanks for understanding.
