It was a hot day in the middle of July. The sun was shining bright in the sky, and kids were playing outside everywhere. I was not in the best of moods because playing outside in the sun with my friends is one of my favorite things to do and I had to work. Each and everyday I get up on the weekends bright and early, as early as I have to get up to go to school during the week, and get disappointed. Being a teenager, going to a job that makes little money is no fun. I wake up, sit up and think, wow its beautiful outside, call in sick or not? The thought runs through my head every Saturday and Sunday I have to work. I sit up and think why can't I just be done with college everyday so I can get up each morning and go to a job I will actually enjoy and make a decent amount of cash. But then I sit up for a few minutes and realize that is life. Life, one of the hardest things to deal with.
So it was that very morning, I finally decided to get out of bed after realizing that I only had to work for four hours, and that really wasn't that bad. So my friend picked me up at seven in the morning and we went off to work. I work at Michaels in Pittsford Plaza so it is normally not much of a drive. However, today we decided to take a different way to get there. Trying something new is always fun. So we got on the highway and drove off; we past a few exits and started noticing that we went to far but just kept going to see where we were gonna end up. I guessed at that point I was going to be late for work so I decided to call them, tell them I got lost and did not know when I was going to get there. They were not to happy about that but I am good about going to work so it is okay.
A couple exits later we decided to get off, at this point we were definitely lost and we had no idea where we were. It probably was not the best thing but we considered it an adventure. Going out driving different ways with a GPS was probably not the best idea, but it is what it is.
The exit we got off was definitely not one that would drop us in Pittsford, but oh well. The exit we got off was in some random town we had never heard of. We drove along and kept driving, the roads looked as though they were all back roads but we had no idea where they led to. We just kept chuggin' along and found a few small stores we had never heard of and a few run down houses but that was all. There were deer here and there and we hoped none of them ran in front of us because we had no idea where we were, let alone someone that could help us if we needed it. Hell, I don't even think a police could find us stuck in these weird area that nothing was.
As we were driving all of a sudden we started running into some strange things, snow started falling from the sky even though it was Spring time, there were Unicorns and weird animals all around, my friend and I looked at each other so weird and we decided this route we took led us to a whole new place, we felt like we were in a place we called Narnia, we could not believe it, this beats work any day. We kept moving along and finding the coolest things ever. But we got to a point that if we didn’t turn around there was no way we were going to be able to get back. So we turned around and it was a fun time trying to get back, another adventure that took hours but we followed our way back and got back to a place called home.
We looked at each other and said to each other that was awesome and we would do that again any day. Forget work. What an exciting day.
