Saturday IS better than Sunday

Saturday is better than Sunday, and (I hope) everyone agrees with that. On Sundays, many people do their last minute homework, and you would just take the whole day by being stuck on one problem on your math homework. Or you have to take the whole day studying for the test on Monday; I mean what kind of mean teacher gives you a test on Monday? No one would do their home work on Fridays and Saturdays. On Saturdays you can always sleep longer and sleep at any time (, unless your parents are strict). The best part is you don’t have to worry about school!

Have you ever seen these?


Have you ever seen these? These are wierd real US currencies called Bunny Bucks. You can actually use these money. The picture of the bunny is creepy though. It looks like they are staring right at you. My mom gave my brother one of these money. He thoought is was fake so I looked it up a few days ago. Apparently these are real. It's usually worth 2$ hiding Thomas Jefferson. To use this, you have to take off the bunny seal, which is currently unknown to me. The company made these for easter. But why? I do not no. Oh, well.

Unpleasant

As I walk through the empty aisle dullness of the corridor surrounds me as I move through the darkness.


As I went inside I see drapes, depressed, giving me a gloomy feeling.


The curtain gave me speckles of light flowing through the curtains.


I heard faint crying.


The darkness of the room was giving me a creepy feeling, as if someone was watching me from a distance.


As I moved closer I could hear it shrieking, as if it was trying to escape the feeling of stress it was giving me now.


I moved one step back, trying to find the imposter who was giving all this tension.


The voice came louder and louder! My heart was beating faster and faster!


I have to escape from whatever it was.


This felling wasn’t worth being waited for, now.


This is not something you’d want to be eager for.


There is only one word that could describe this awful feeling.


This feeling is unpleasant.
