Not so happy three day weekend

Everybody loves to have an extra day off of school to sleep in late and so you don't have to sit through another English class and listen to your teacher tell you yet again how his dog died and you can still see the imprint on the floor where he lay. I love to have the day off, but now that my sister has left the village physically, I have nothing to do on the weekends and our days off. Recently I've been so bored that I cleaned my room, I don't even have homework to keep me occupied. We always seemed to have a very busy schedule and now I wonder if that's true or we just procrastinated till the end and everything piled up. It's the first day of my weekend and have absolutely nothing to do. I had lunch with my friend but it was for ten minutes cause her school shortened their lunch periods to discourage kids from leaving. I love to read, but when you've read all you can and aren't given anything for new books(although if my brother wants one they go and buy it for him and he never touches it) you don't have much to do. This weekend will definitely take forever. It's even worse that we had Friday instead of Monday off. Halloween is Sunday night you don't think people are going to stay up late. We don't even have a late start. But it's still good to have a day off. (unless you share it with your brother).

Everybody Laughs

For hundreds of years people have used the fan to cool themselves. Beginning 3000 years ago with the Chinese and on through the time of the Egyptians and the colonists in America.
I had no idea, until this past weekend when i was spending time with my sister and some friends, that when ever I laugh i start fanning or waving my hands by my face like Miss America does when she cries. They asked me why I did that and if it helped or colled me down. Like I'd know i wasn't even aware of the fact that i did that. WHat does it really matter on what I do when I laugh it's really not that big of a deal although they think so. When i didn't wave my face when I was laughing (probably cause i was choking on my french toast and powdered sugar) one of them offered to help me and started waving in front of my face. everyone laughs differently I'm just a person who uses my hands a lot. I'll never hear the end of it.
