Guest Student Slicer - Dominic

It is a rainy day today. It feels like it’s sad outside. It just makes you want to cry. I’m starting a new book. It is called Earthquake Terror by Peg  Kehret. I am going fishing again today. This is a good day to go because it is raining and when it is like this the fish think there are bugs falling on the water. Then they come up to the water and see if there are bugs.

SOLC 2012: 6 of 31 March 6, 2012 Sink or Swim?

Sink or swim could mean the same to many people and to others different meanings. How profound!

To cut a long story short, they would call me and I called them, and we made it through. The toughest part was creative writing.   I hadn't written in years.  No one had actually taught me to write.  The professor then wasn't teaching me either.  It was "sink or swim"

March 1, 2012 Was I blown in?

As I lay in my bed yesterday,  I could hear the wind. It made me think about what I know about the wind. I can see it, I can hear it, it can touch me, but I can't touch it! There's, the cold blustery wind in Winter, The warm Summer breeze that goes by The casual breeze that carries the smoke from the fires of leaves burning in the Fall. Those are the “fun” winds. The damaging winds of tornadoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes can hurt property and people. Hopefully we won't have that this year. A little abrupt but I need to stop.  Happy Slicing! :o)
