.... but the dishwasher always yelled that, and Derek had long since ceased to notice: he was already reaching for his cigarette pack. With quick, practiced movements he withdrew one of the long tubes from the cardboard package. With one hand he placed it in a precise position in his lips while the other hand was occupied with first replacing the package to his shirt pocket, then digging out a half used pack of matches from his too tight jeans. He was extremely conscious of the fluidity of his movements; lighting the cigarette with the match was the hard part, and he wanted to look as cool as possible, smooth and flowing, for all the eyes he perceived to be on him. He mana ....

.... a retest, the marks are usually high. The first test done was( I think ) hard. The first test, I studied for about 1 hour and after that I thought that I would score high on the test. I ended up getting a little lower then I expected. Then, I heard that there would be a retest so I felt no need to study hard but to only review what I have learned. During a test, I have many suggestions to my classmates. First the best way to get a good result is to study until you are capable of remembering what you have studied. Then, in the morning, I always do a review just to remember more. Sometimes, I just do a small review in homeroom. Some other times I would come early ....

.... Am 747 to London" while looking at our tickets to point us in the right direction. As I walked down what seemed to be an endless aisle of seats, I noticed a graceful all metal staircase that spiraled into the ceiling. The stairs gave off a feeling that a person has to have privileges to walk them. When we finally reached our seats, the seat belt signs turned on. I quickly hopped into the window seat and buckled my seatbelt. Soon the soothing voice of a flight attendant was giving instructions over the intercom on emergency procedures. I began to hear the whining of the engines, and with a clunk, we began moving. As the plane began to roll backwards, the captain annou ....

.... slot and the door opened. "Thank god you're here!" his boss, Jarvis explained. Pete checked his watch. "Am I late?" he queried. "No time for that, no time for that damnit!" Jarvis seemed very upset about something to say the least. "Well, what is it?" Pete asked with a look of haste swimming across his face. Jarvis lead Pete over to the main testing area. "We discovered this late last night. Seems one of the plutonium pieces is…," he paused with a gulp, "changing." "Changing?!?!" "You better believe it because it took me an hour to comprehend what is going on." "What exactly IS going on?" Jarvis explained in his own special slightly whiny voice that he chose to ....

.... I have school friends, and out of school friends. There are also school papers, and note and letters from your friends. This is because my mind makes my room. Even though my walls cannot speak, if they were able to, they would tell you many secrets and important event that took place in my life. Just like the secrets in my room, my soul is filled with emotions and feelings. My room captures the memories from birth till now. Even though I have not lived in this room all my life, I keep the memories in my heart and they show up in my room. From a baby till now, my mind has held a lot on in. It has held death and life, good and bad. It has gone through ....

.... cylinder, lights up whenever the C.P.U. (Central Processing Unit) is called upon to processing information. The final of the three icons takes the shape of a sun. The sun is illuminated whenever the computer is on. Near the very top of the box there is a rectangular slot which measures 1” by 5 ¼” where the CR-ROM drive resides. On the front of the CR-ROM drive there is a single oval button, which activates the slider mechanism and opens the door. Below the CD-ROM drive is a 3”x 5” disk drive. There is also only one button on the front of the disk drive, which is used to eject a disk. I am now going to move from the front of the box to the back of the box ....

.... here at the begging of August. And I'd hated it ever since. But I was willing to give Rocklin a shot, even though ever kid I'd met in town so far had said ‘Rocklin is the worst school'. As I walked forward with the white scrunched up piece of paper that told me my classes, I tried to look like I fit in. As I looked around for my class, I noticed I was on the wrong side of the building. ‘At least I know where the main building is,' I said to myself. The main building looked bright and cheery, like the sun. I trudged over to the main building trying not to look at anyone, the pavement looked really white. When I got to the main building I walked up to a Miss Kerby, sitti ....

.... of little debbie snacks. "O.K., be home for supper" she said. This was in code it meant be home at five. Well who cares on to the second stop, Dons Deli. I went in and grabbed the usual. A pink lemonade Snapple and one of those huge pixie sticks. I got to the counter. "The usual" the cashier said "Yup" I said realizing that this recognition was a product of the last few weeks. "That will be two dollars" she said. But that was needless because I had already left the money and was half way out the door. I mounted my bike and rode the steed while sucking down as much sugar as possible. We finally arrived at the bike trails. We then Infiltrated the left over food that w ....
