The Challenge of Getting Through Thanksgiving Day

It’s Thanksgiving day and I don’t want to miss my favorite part of today, the stuffed turkey. “Mmmh”, it’s like I can already taste it. The thing is, that it’s still 2:00 and I’m still in school. Worst of all, it’s Algebra, just listening to this boring stuff makes me drowsy. “Class, today we are learning about digits of pi”, Mrs. Woods says happily.

Again I drift off in to my own world just like I always do. The song from the 5th grade finds it’s way to my head again, “Pi pi mathematical pi 3.141592…..” Soon I think, no wander she chose to work on pi today. Pi and pie are almost a like(just kidding). In the back of my ear I then hear “Josh, can you recite 10 digits of pi please?”, she says boringly. “Sure, umm 3.14159265358973238462338342”, I say surprisingly. “Wow”, I think to myself.

I didn’t just recite 10 digits, I recited 27 digits. I feel a lot better now that I did my part.

When I got home I just went straight to the pie and gobbled it right up.

Slaying the Dragon of Homework

It’s 11:30 pm and I’m just starting to do my homework. This small dragon that looks like it’s made of some mix of graph paper, colorful construction paper, and just regular plain paper, slowly crawls to the tip of my desk in super stealth mode. I start to write on my homework. Scratch. What the… My homework is gone. I look back at that dragon and it suddenly becomes ginormous.

Everything around me transforms into a arena that looks like my desk at school.  My clothes turns into a shiny metal armor. My pencil in hand turns into a huge pencil-sword. The dragon is still there. It shoots cannon balls of Algebra coming towards me I quickly dodge it and use x-intercept. The attack is not effective. The attack is strong enough to knock it off it’s feet though. It immediately uses a heavy attack called literature. I fall back slamming my face to the concrete wall. He’s attacking again using Synonyms and antonyms. This air attack allowed me enough time to get back up and deflect the attacks back with my pencil-sword. This time it is super effective. Now I know the best attacks are air attacks. I then sprint towards the dragon before it can get back up. I then use elaboration to finish it off.

“Whoah”, that was all a day dream, but I look back at the desk and to my surprise, the homework is filled out.
