... The kids were working on colors because there was a strip on top of the blackboard that had the colors and things we might see in that color. The student's desks were arranged in two rows, pushed together and facing each other. There were about twelve seats in each group, so there were about 24 students in the class. Apparently, the class had just been returning from a trip to the school library when the fire drill went off, so when they came in they were still carrying their library books. The students were asked to take their seats and they did so quietly. Everyone's eyes were on Carrie and me. Mrs. Debolt asked us to introduce ourselves, which we did. ...

... and I were to party this weekend. Finally Friday came but it seemed like an eternity. By the time I sat through six hours or boring nonsense at school, I knew the fun was coming, slowly but surely. I Finally got on my trip down to my buddy Scott’s house, it seemed like a long trip because I had to ride my bike there. But he lived right down the road so it wasn’t that bad. Also I knew that it would all be worthwhile when I arrived there and we went to Mandys. After a while of watching television, Scott and I decided to go on down Mandys. We got down there after walking down to pitch black, roughed up road. We turned up the pot hole filled driveway, I start ...

... stream continues as it takes me to another place where guerrilla warfare and terrorism are a part of daily life. The gunshots and unruly pitbull barking registers over the calm of the wet playground. Trash strings the streets and every dwelling has an eight foot, black, metal fence circuitously about it. Two white faces gape over the hood of a parked Cadillac. Besides the police parked down the block, they are probably the only Caucasians in a five mile square radius. Two companies of drug dealers fire at will scrambling for control of a superior capital making outpost. Even at nine o'clock in the morning the combat tract roars on. I was one of those faces ...

And should some maps and information be withheld from the public for safety reasons and/or be treated as a private entity, which can be bought and sold. Some examples of confidential data that can't be released are records in the Internal Revenue Service, Census Bureau, and also the Mineral Management Service. Another holder of private information would be the Department of Defense, withholding war information and military technology. So far the primary legal uses of GIS are the access to information, product liabilities and breaching of contracts. But GIS is relatively new so there are definitely more ...

... big line out front”. The employee said, “there are a lot of customer behind you so if you would please go up to the front register we would appreciate it”. After arguing for a while the coutomer left. Then someone dropped a case of Slim Fast that bangs agents the floor. The brown liquid was poring out of the box like a river and some started to spray everywhere. Immediately they paged someone from the cleaning department. While the cleaning person was on it was to clean up the spill; an employee put an orange hazard sign on top of it. To the left there was a person putting away stock on the shelf. The floor was white and the cart was silver. There was som ...

... and the worksheets and tests were a breeze! Now that I had all legal requirements met, I was very eager to get my license and start driving on my own. It took the instructor about three weeks to finally have the completion slips signed and ready for us to take. The day after they were ready, I got my completion slip and left to get my driver's license and a new computer (I was actually more eager to get the computer that day). We go to the mall and all I had to do was take an eye exam!! I was very surprised, I figured I would at least have to take a written test over the material covered in the manual. I finally had the one thing that would change my life forev ...

... to the city. Juana awoke without a fuss. As Juana started to pack she thought about Coyotito. She told Kino that it might be dangerous traveling that long of a distance. Kino told her to bring him to the house of his brother Juan Tomas. She did and Juan Tomas and his wife Apolonia said that they would gladly take care of him. She thanked them and went back to Kino. He had just finished packing. He then grabbed a few corn cakes and they started on their long journey. As they arrived in the city they had found that it had almost entirely changed. The streets were more crowded, the stores were getting more business, and all in all was more modern. Kino walked up to a ...

... people running them, it infringes on teenage lives, and some aspects of most jobs are disgusting. Bosses are probably the most difficult part of being employed to me. At the grocery store that I worked at for a short period of time, I remember being constantly pulled aside and being told that I wasn’t bagging the groceries properly. The strange part was that when my boss would tell me these things he would always take me to isle seven to yell and scream at me. Why couldn’t he take me into his office where it would be private? Instead he would make a big scene in front of all the old women shopping for those lovely canned foods and completely embarrass me. I ...

... bus. Some people started crying because they couldn't do any more pushups, but still were forced to do more. You are probably asking, why didn't they just stop and refuse to do the pushups? The answer is because your parents paid a lot of money for you to go to this program. A fee of about five hundred dollars all together. That money is for the uniforms, bus ride, reserved tickets for the bunks, and money needed when on the base. After that the worn out bus load was escorted to a room with other cadets from other cities. All together there was about four hundred kids from all over Michigan going to this camp. Every camper was assigned to a special ...

... to be pissin' on someone's car. And with that it was over I walked away with Ryan (who had joined me) back to his car. On the way over to his car I mentioned to him how I wouldn't have had that attitude with they guy if we hadn't seen that type of movie. I guess the fellow in the car still thought I had a problem because he pulled his truck up, got out, and got up in my face. What were you sayin' to your friend just now? You talkin' sh*t? Listen man, I said, it's cool, there's no pee on my car! Well I think you two still gots a problem over here. With that he proceeds to throw one of their empty beer bottles on the ground and then one at my car. We argue some more ...
