Excerpt

As I woke up early on the morning of August 22, I thought about the day that was to unfold ahead of me, the all-important day of moving into college. I had to admit that I was sort of looking forward to it, but my mood quickly changed when I got up and looked out my bedroom window. As disappointment fell on me, I immediately realized that my twenty minute argument the previous night on which car we would take was lost. Sure enough, my parents decided on taking the station wagon. All thirty feet of it (so it seemed), was parked in the driveway with its back swing door open and ready to be loaded. As I walked into the kitchen my mother looked at me and said, "Today's the big day, are you excited?" With a false smile I replied, "Yeah, sure."
