Perfect Wind, A Broken Wing

As I was playing, I watched the trees outside flailing vigorously in the wind. I noticed that meant today was probably a great day to fly my kite. As I took it outside, I felt the wind keep tugging on it as if the kite wanted to fly. I had to hold it tightly until I reached the Jamestown field. Once I got there, I felt the wind die down. It was like the wind was getting ready for me to launch my kite into the air. But as I launched, the wind blew too hard and caused the kite to dip down onto the ground. I felt forsaken. I found that the wing has been broken. I went back home to fix it with a paper clip as the metal clip to keep the wing in place as it flies. I went back outside to fly again and as I launched, the paper clip became loose and couldn't keep the wing in place. I went back home, now feeling defeated. When can I finally fly again...like the summer from before?

Holiday Times

Lately, there have been many signs of holiday. People have been giving and getting gifts all over. But it does make some people not as cheerful. All of the people going shopping causes traffic like what happened this afternoon when Me. was taking me to go to the orthodontist. People were everywhere trying to leave the intersection and going home. But it's not only the holiday's fault but also the big intersection. The place is so complex that traffic jams happen everyday. Every Monday it takes 5 minutes to make it through and go the way we need to go. When I'm an architect and may have to design roads, I'll watch for this kind of problem. But will I have the chance?
