     After being sick for four days, I woke up in a fog.  Last night we got a call from my school stating that we would have a state writing assessment today. The alarm clock blaring close by and my eyes refusing to open, I still felt awful. I picked myself up and got ready though. We did indeed have testing during sixth period and believe I did pretty well. The prompt was something we had already touched on in English, it was a description writing on our favorite place. I wrote mine on Grove Lake, by Royal, Nebraska. It is a place I literally care about, definitely one of my favorites. Although I can think of every detail of that place in my mind it helped that I had recently wrote a similar piece. So, basically I slept for four days to awake on the fifth with a headache, I went to school to do a very long writing assessment, and got a TON of homework just to return home again. In conclusion, I would like to inform and to state this to all who don't already know being sick is not fun.

Here are some pictures of Grove Lake;
