Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a little sailboat. This little sailboat was a happy sailboat, but still he longed to venture out over the wide sea. He wanted to find the fabled Thursday, a place rumored to be full of tropical shorelines and where Happy Hour lasted the entire year. In his little heart, the little sailboat dreamed of one day escaping to this magical place and living out the rest of his days in peace and happiness.

One day, however, a typhoon came upon the dock where the little sailboat was tied. The winds and the wild waves were overwhelming, and he was soon smashed all to pieces against the pier. And with the broken bits of boat went his dreams, floating out into the wide sea.

A long time later, some of the remnants of the little sailboat washed up on a white sandy beach. They lay in the sun, covered in salt and tiny sea animals, until a little boy wandered by. Quickly, he scooped up the boards and took them to his small home next to the lagoon. Finally, he had found the perfect pieces to finish his raft. The planks from the little sailboat were cleaned and fitted onto the little raft, who proudly floated in the small green lagoon.

Not long after, the little boy guided his little raft out into the wide sea. And perhaps soon, if the weather stays good, the little sailboat will reach Thursday after all.

I thought I'd write a story for you, and there it is.

Thursday means sleeping in and Chemistry for four hours. But! Today, about half an hour into the lecture, she let us go for the day, because her little son in daycare was sick so she had to go take him home. So I actually got to eat lunch! It was all very exciting, but I hope her kid gets better soon.

The moral of this Thursday seems to be that bad things for you might be something very good for someone else.

You guys missed the DDR party last Saturday. It was like 8 girls in my room, with the two paddy mats hooked up to the tv which is suddenly very fritzy now that we come back from break. Twas fun, twas fun, and I'm trying to get a DDR party weekly, but I don't know what day to do it. Maybe it'll be Thursdays. What do you think?

Rained the other day, then got a little warm, but now it's cold again for good it seems, and I'm sad.

But really, now I'm off to play video games/buy books, so I'll stop writing 'cause also that story took up a lot of space anyway. Have a good weeeeeeek!!
