Expository Writing

Islands can be beautiful places of serenity, but under the
right conditions they can cause you so much annoyance that you
start pulling your hair out! Humidity is something I loath, and it’s
something islands have in truck loads. Many a day at this island
beach house, I found myself slumped in a chair with a glass of water
sweating like a pig! Humidity annoys me under normal conditions, but
being near the equator makes it near unbearable.

Another thing about these islands is that sometimes you aren’t alone. Imagine you
are sun bathing on the beach and here a rustling in the sand. You
look over and see a crab – the size of a football. At that point
you scream, grab your towel, and run into the house. The crabs on
this island are potentially dangerous because of their size, causing
me to avoid them for the rest of my stay. Running around dodging
crabs in 95 degree heat was just to much for me.

There are so many places to go on earth, don’t waste all your time on islands! Find a
vacation spot you prefer and don’t just go on other people’s
opinions.

Drink More Ovaltine

When my grandfather was young he loved Ovaltine, a chocolate energy drink.

The Ovaltine company would make Ovaltine Decoder rings that you could buy with the drinks and Grandpa saved up money to buy one. When he finally saved up enough money to buy one of the rings and decoded the message guess what it said? It said “Drink more Ovaltine!”

Grandpa was so angry that he hasn’t forgiven Ovaltine to this day.

Pedernales Falls

Today I went on a hike to Pedernales Falls, a place that has a nice name but is the area of occurrence for multiple drownings.(o_O) (Creepy!)

Anyway, while I was there I found lots of interesting things. I found an outlet to a spring in a pond, and found clean water seeping up from a crack in a rock. I also traveled to Duck Rock, a rock shaped like a duck. I couldn’t get to it though because the water was too high and I couldn’t jump across.

On the way back, I was stung in the hand by a bee, but it couldn’t inject enough venom into my hand for it to hurt very much. In fact it kind of tickled.

Standing In the falls.

Always Sick

Into the school
Down the dirty halls
Among the diseases and their vessels
Upon contact it’s too late
In my veins they congregate
Inside my body warfare rages
Regardless of my prescription pages
Despite my efforts to defend
Towards defeat my forces spin
Rather than let the invaders split
I grab a pill and swallow it!
