That Darn Squirrel!!!

Yesterday I was too busy being a squirrel hero to write. I was taking a short walk with my brother and looked down. This probably has to do with stepping on a slug a couple weeks ago. Ugh! I can still feel the slimy slush beneath my feet. At least I learned a lesson about stepping on slugs or else I could have killed a baby squirrel. I looked down and an ugly bald thing, looking more like a rat then a squirrel, it freaked me out...so I shouted at my brother to "take care of it!!" He has saved a baby squirrel before and knew exactly what to do. We wrapped it in a cloth, placed it in a box then my mom drove it to a rescue center for squirrels?? By the time the excitement was over. I hadn't eaten dinner, hadn't begun my homework, or finish my on-line classes. Do you think my teachers would buy the excuse of 'a squirrel ate my homework?' Anyway, my heroism for the betterment of animal kind came at a cost, my sleep. oh, the sacrifices we make. Today, I was put in charge of this years Fall Reading. There are 7 people on the board. (For those of you who don't know what a reading is, it's where creative writing people take the stage and read their best poetry.) The theme we've selected is 'Neighborhoods'. Our next assignment will be the choice of a title. Any thoughts? At the end of the day, feeling tired, I hopped on the bus and rode home looking like a bobble head as I fell asleep while the bus bounced. But that's high school...
