an essay on my spring break.

Bored bored in the emergency room: spring break 2008
By caitlin mae
On Tuesday, a girl named caitlin woke up with a big smile on her face.
"I get to go horseback riding today!" she exclaimed. Caitlin was going
to her friend nancy's house and they were going to go on a trail ride
together. Caitlin worKed very hard all morning on her homework so
that she could have the most fun Tuesday she'd had in a long time.
This was, after all, spring break, and everyone knows spring break is
a wonderful time for overstressed college students to escape to the
tropics and in no way abuse alcohol, marijuana, or the personhood of
women.

Caitlin was reading her text book on film theory when her phone began
to buzz. "who could that be?" she questioned. She looked down at her
phone to check the caller id. What a surprise! It was her friend Ryan,
who had been over to watch a movie the night before. "I wonder if he
forgot anything?" mused caitlin. She picked up the phone.
"hello caitlin, I am outside your house."
"oh," said caitlin, "what can I do for you?"
"well, this is kind of awkward." said Ryan. "I think my toe might fall
off. Can you take me to the hospital?"
"oh dear!" caitlin exclaimed, thinking of her horseback riding date.
" If you can't that is okay." sighed Ryan.
"no,we should take care of your toe." said caitlin, grabbing her car
keys. "let's go to the emergency room. It will be a spring break
adventure!"

So caitlin and Ryan went to the hospital to find out if Ryan's toe
needed to be amputated. While he was seeing the doctor, Caitlin went
exploring and found out that the hospital had a pretty killer gift
shop. She bought Ryan a small, soft, brown stuffed bunny and a purple
and yellow get well soon balloon with a smiley face on it to make him
feel better.

Ryan and caitlin's friend Clyde had heard that Ryan was at the
hospital. Even though he thought this particular hospital was scary,
Clyde was locked out of the house, and decided to overcome his
obstacles, face his fears, chase his dreams and come wait with caitlin
while they sawed Ryan's big toe off. While she waited for Clyde to
arrive, caitlin drank a diet coke and decided to write a story about
her spring break adventure. This is that story.
