At 6:15, my alarm woke me up in an unfashonable way. I dragged myself out of bed and got my clothes. I made a big mistake in wearing jeans, a ended up hurting me in the long run. When I got there, I took off my shoes, and the second I stepped on the ground, I knew that I was going to be miserable, but it was worth it. I'm sure that the women if Africa who have to transport this amount of water are not brimming with happiness either. It took forever to fill the water, because of a broken pipe. I passed the time by talking to Oli and Dia, and before I knew it, it was time to get on the road. For a while, I chatted with my friends, but after a while a started to just focus on getting to the end of the journey.
I kept walking on what seemed like a never-ending slope uphill, and the fact that I had on a warm jacket didn't help. I thought about taking it off, but I didn't want to have to take off my backpack, which was a pain to get on. After a while, my shoulders started to hurt. This was partly because that my backpack did not fit properly, but also that the backpack added an extra 6 pounds to the 28 that I already had in there. Finally, I started to recognize the landscape from what I see driving to school. I knew that we were almost there, but I still couldn't see the school. I trudged on farther and farther, when finally I saw our school. I was ecstatic to get back to school, not only because of my shoulders, but also because of my aching feet.
When I reached the parking lot, I dumped my backpack and ran into Science class, and my walk was over.

You were pretty descriptive it was a great accurate description of what many of us had to go through that day. I also liked how you mentioned the assignment because many people did not put it up there. Awesome job!
I really like all the detail you put into it.
