My Summer Vacation

:

MY SUMMER VACATION

My summer really began when I asked to work in the Fortuna Lodge CO-OP Store. July 15 was my first day of work. I got up at 8:45 A.M. and after washing my hair I ran up to the CO-OP Store. I waited until 9:10 A.M. when my boss finally came.

She asked me. . ." How long have you been waiting here?" I told her that I was waiting for her for about 15 to 20 minutes.

After we went into the store she taught me how to use the cash register. But after a few days of work I got really bored, since hardly anyone would come up in the mornings. So after working there for a week I went with my family to Russian Mission for Jr. Housler and Agnes Tinker's wedding.

It was a fun and very exciting trip. I still remember some of the people who got drunk during the wedding party. It was a fun party, at least

until it got too rowdy and someone tried to commit suicide by drowning herself. When another girl tried to kick her butt I was totally freaked. I mean just watching those girls fight that way totally blew me away.

But mostly my summer was a blast and I really had FUN!!!!! And it didn't really end till the first day of school.
