Corinne's+Memoir

 Corinne  How I Spent My Friday… A very lonely day for the one Corinne Alviar. I woke up at 6:30 am & was struck with a terrible disease. It was so bad that it kept me from going to school. I had a fever. I had nothing to do! And I had no communication to the outside world. Why you ask? Well, everybody else was learning at school, where I was supposed to be. So now my whole Friday was shot. The killer, a villainous fever. Me, a 12-year-old preteen who wears Abercrombie & Fitch and super skinny jeans everywhere that needs to have fun everyday or else it is that hard to survive. Here is my story...

I was miserable. All I did the whole day was eat, sleep, and take lots and lots of medicine. I was stuck in my room, being eaten alive by five blankets, thinking that I was claustrophobic and waiting for 3:00 to strike. Staring at the clock going tick-tock-tick-tock while being bored out of my mind. I eventually turn on the television to see if anything can cure my other disease, which was bored-out-of-my-mind-ness. Flipping through the channels finding out that there is nothing else to watch except Peoples Court and Playhouse Disney. At this point, I was aggravated so I give up and turn off the TV. I decide to read for 30 minutes or so, so that I can get some learning in, but before you know it, I had fallen asleep! Can you believe it, something else that had went wrong! So after two hours of cat napping, I rose off my bed like a vampire awakening from 2 centuries worth of being dead and my temperature had risen from a 99.9 to 100.2. I felt like I was in Antarctica, I was sooo cold. I shivered and screamed to my mom,” MOMMY! Turn up the heat please!So then she replied back to me,”No, it’s already at 68! Stay under the blanket and take a nap.NO TV!” I thought she was mad at me but she was just yelling because she was in her bedroom at the end of the hall. I answered back to her and said,”OK , but I just took a nap, and trust me I don’t want to watch tv? And I don’t want to read, I did that, too.” She didn’t reply back to me, but I know what she was thinking in her mind.Maybe she was thinking how I can secretly read her mind.Maybe that wasn’t it but whatever. By this time I had one thing to do, the only thing.This sick day could possibly be simply productive. I had nothing else to do but to clean my room.What a life. So from 1:00 to 2:30, I had wiped down my furniture and cleaned my dressers. I would call that progress in my little world, but mom wouldn’t because I have to fix my bed, clean my closet, and sweep the floor. I say this because she caught me in the act of cleaning so I have to continue until she says that it doesn’t look like a bomb hit my room.So I guess, cleaning my room wasn’t the right way to go.No turning back now. Now it’s 3 o’clock and the school day that I didn’t attend was over. Woohoo! Now I can talk to my friends,!Well I can text them with my cellphone.Also, I finished all my chores and there was something to watch on TV. ,Disney Channel has saved me from Bored-out-of-my-mind-ness. I still had my fever but my temperature had gone down. I guess working up a sweat while cleaning helped. Besides the fact that I was wearing a lot of clothes. Looking back at my day, I could have thought it was boring, but it really wasn’t because o f all I did since the time I woke up.
