A 13 Dollar Round Trip Flight To China | Aliterate


A 13 Dollar Round Trip Flight To China | Aliterate

     Welcome to United flight #9634 from New York's JFK Airport to Beijing's Capital International Airport. Please enjoy our flight's complimentary masks and two pumps of Purell. Any additional pump after the second will cost $39.99 (3 squares of toilet paper) which is more expensive than this flight. The weather is slightly cloudy and there will be no air traffic. Considering the fact that each state has been put under lockdown, we are legally not allowed to take off any time soon. Remember to stay six feet away from all passengers, which does not seem to be a problem, for this is an empty flight. Enjoy our flight and if you have any questions please do not be hesitant to text our cabin crew. 
     All jokes aside, my family and I were going to go to China, South Korea, and Japan for this year's spring break. I was ecstatic to visit these three countries for a very long time. Most of our trips are to Europe in which every single country looks exactly the same. I haven't truly experienced the whole "Asian" culture before and I was ecstatic to visit. Supposedly when we would arrive in Japan, it would align perfectly with the Cherry Blossom Festival. Cherry Blossom Festivals are very hard to predict and completely unexpected.
     Unfortunately, spring break this year is very lame. I am prohibited from going to the park which is ironic since it takes me 30 seconds to walk over to the park. I am stuck home with distanced everything. From school, piano lessons, and surprisingly, swim practices. For swim practices, I am expected to do dry-land stretches which I could care less about doing. As my mom says I should be aiming towards a more productive mindset during this break. Considering the fact that I did not understand half of the words in the previous sentence, productivity is not really working out at this moment.
     I try to find ways to stay active during this long break. When quarantine started, I would initially ride my bike in the park. Later, for one week, I would run in the park. Two days ago, I learned that going to public parks in our state is banned for the remainder of quarantine. Besides playing badminton with a wooden birdie with no head and rolling down my steep driveway in a rolling office chair, I haven't been able to go outdoors ever since.
     On a side note, our school's yearbook is still getting published. While the yearbook committee cannot meet up this year, they have found a way to meet up online. Since I am in eighth grade this year, I get a special spot in this year's yearbook. Today, superlatives had been posted; for each superlative, there are two winners, a boy, and a girl. My friend Catherine and I won most likely to succeed. By the looks of the situation now, it seems as if we will not be going to school for a very long time. Stay safe and healthy. Common sense, am I right?

Armageddon | Aliterate

Armageddon | Aliterate I, George W. Bush, am hereby to declare that Armageddon has officially set off. I knew that this day would come. Meteorologists predict that Armageddon will first hit the East-Coast of the US; meaning that this monstrosity will force every child in grades 3-8 to take standardized testing.  Where do I start. Oh yes, standardized testing. NJSLA or should I call it "fun". Our current governor came into his political position by banning the old standardized test known as "PARCC". When he was elected, he introduced a new standardized test named as "NJSLA" or NJ-slaw; NJSLA is literally just the same thing as PARCC but it has one less section to it.  I have one word to describe the whole experience: traumatizing. Who would ever expect for the whole class to not be able to finish the Algebra section. When there was 2 minutes remaining, many people would start to cry while I would stay still at my desk hyperventilating. I di...

The Renaissance Fair | Aliterate

The Renaissance Fair | Aliterate It was a dark, cold, Thursday morning. My lovely mother, Agatha, was churning butter outside and my dearest father, John-Smith, went out into the forest to bring back his daily hunt of game. I went into the blacksmith tavern to forge my iron sword for knight school the next day.   Where do I start? It actually was a Thursday morning it it looked like God was furious. While he was sending down big bolts of disastrous thunder, he was crying as well. His tears formed a thick sheet of monstrous rain drops. Armageddon was clearly already taking its place. This field trip was a rain or shine trip meaning that there would be no reschedules for the trip. No reschedules even if our field trip took place on the meeting point of a hurricane, earthquake, and tornado.  I filled my bag with a brick ton of things which I would actually never end up using. After a dreadful one and a half hour bus ride we finally came to the one and only: Renaissan...

An Easter Embellishment | Aliterate

An Easter Embellishment | Aliterate      A white bunny peacefully lay sound in his underground burrow snuggled in the twigs and assorted leaves. Suddenly, the bunny awoke by the comforting smell of candied yams. It was the midst of dawn and an annual occupation remain incompleted. As he jumped through the forest cautiously skipping over logs and branches, his duty was awaiting. House by house, door by door, these were common occurrences for the bunny this time of year. His last house remained; a wooden bungalow hidden in the deep forests. As he walked over through the front gate,  a sour smell greeted him among entry. As he reached in the burlap sack on his back, he soon realized that this bungalow had no door to open and no porch to place. An open entry to the bungalow resided and a sense of completion left the poor bunny desperate, for he would be breaking the rules and completing his task at the same time. He imagined doing this quickly but later backed away....
