Desperation part 3.

I continued to read Desperation this week and I had trouble putting it down. I left off when the larger cop had brought the family to a police station I assume it was? Anyway, he told them to stay there and he would be right back. What was he going to get? He also told the family to stay there or they would be sorry. I think I know what he means by that. He seems to be gone for awhile but probably wasn't actually because for awhile the author described what life was for the family back home and how that all had changed now.

The family then notices the blood stains on the stairs where the screams and moans seem to be illuminating from. The author is very descriptive about this part as he discusses possibilities that the family could take to escape, but they couldn't think of anything before the cop came back that is. I wonder is they will escape?  The scary cop comes back and seems to be pleased that they hadn't left. He then tells them to be quiet and step up stairs, "You first please" he says to the family as he gently nudges them up stairs. Thats as far as I got, but I'm eager to find out whats up the stairs. I'm starting to wonder if the "cop" is actually a cop at all. After all, the family got here just by speeding. Why did he just give them a ticket come to think of it?

School work.

Iv'e had a bunch of school work lately and I have had some  trouble keeping up with it all. I have no doubt that others are having trouble as well. I am trying to focus on school but I just have a bit of trouble focusing anyway. I participated in cross country along with track last year but this year I only did cross country so I could have some more time in the second semester to complete my work.

I have a bunch of projects going on. I'm working on my English research project and my partner and I have been working on our Nervous Conditions project which is coming along well. I thought that project would be tougher than it actually is, so that's cool.

Desperation part 2.

I had lost my Desperation book but i just found it in time for my blog and I've been reading non stop now. I believe i left off where the family went past some morbid looking RV. Soon afterwards, the family was pulled over by a cop because the man was speeding. I don't know why it is such a big deal though because there is nobody else around.

When the cop steps out of his car, the family was startled because he was so large, almost unnaturally large. He then doesn't say anything else but to get in his car. They family unwillingly go with him after arguing but he seems to have a short temper. He takes them to a town. Nobody is around though. Is it deserted? Im not sure but he takes them into a building and the family is hearing screams. What are the screams? Will the family meet the same fate as those that are screaming?

Projects.

I have quite a lot of projects going on in school right now, and I'm sure many people can relate. I have two in English class and on in History and they are due rather soon. I am trying not to procrastinate about these because I know this is the last quarter of the year and i need to do well so I'm going to try to do well on these.

In addition to these projects though, I have been having more homework than usual, I suppose because the school year is coming to end. I'm gong to try to end the year strong and I think that my freshman year has prepared me for the rest of fish school.

Sam.

Over the past few months, my family has been in contact with a man in the military who's in his twenties and his name is Sam. We have gotten the chance to talk on the phone with him and we often sent him packages of things he would request such as comics and what not.

Recently, he came home to Indiana and we have been talking to him even more ever since. He is interested in working for the same company that my mum does so she is trying to set him up. I also have gotten the chance to speak with him over the phone and he is really a nice guy and he gave me some advice for college as well.

Desperation.

I started a new book recently called Insomnia by Stephen King. I just started the book and I am not that far into it although it is quite creepy. The story takes place in Nevada and it just starts out with a family driving down a highway until things start to get quite odd.

The family drives by an overturned RV. While not only overturned, there are bloodstains around it and a doll lying on the ground. What could this mean? Does he doll belong to a child? I'm not sure of that but I'm sure that question will be answered later on.

Driver's ed.

Well, I'm pretty sure that most people i the grade have already gotten their permit. Is that true? Anyway, I have not gotten mine yet, probably because I'm lazy and don't want to take the time to do it. Plus, everyone else said that it was pretty boring, which makes me procrastinate about it even more.

Could anyone give me any tips on when I do take it? I mean, how was the class and what not? And also, when is a good time that I could take off to actually take the class? I know i have to take it eventually, the problem is that I just don't really feel like it.

The Mist FINISHED.

So this weekend i finally finished the Mist. I was rather sad for it to end but now i get to start a new book which is cool. I thought that Stephen King kind of didn't finish the story but thats okay because I believe that he wanted the readers to imagine what happens after where he left off.

I actually watched the movie The Mist. It followed rather closely, but as most movies based of of books do, it left out some pretty large parts. I thought that the movie was good though and was somewhat of what i imagined the market and the rest of the setting to look like, probably because Stephen King is so descriptive in his writing.
