some words that are short

First day of the week: the one on which we did not have to go to school.

I like long words, but I am much more fond of small words. I use lots of long words when I talk. So to make a post and use naught but small words is a task that daunts me. I will try to use no words with more than one sound per word in this whole blog post. My post will be nice and short; all the words are short, and each word is hard to come up with. As I start to write this post, I have a few days to work. I thank the stars for my lack of a time crunch at this point in the week, but I will soon find that I have put off all my work for the next few days. By hump day my stress will be a five out of five. For now, I have the time and the sloth to sleep in, take naps, watch a show which I now will call Last Week This Night and not do work. I love the days at the end of the week – they’re the best thing, if you ask me!

Still the same day: I get more stressed out. Cause of stress: test, essay, lots of work, test part two, swim, and all the rest of the stuff I did not put here.

In news that’s not like the stuff that I just wrote, and might show that I’m quite wrong, the test that we all (kids in years two and three of high school) have to take is on hump day! I, for one, have made a Khan School account, set it up, and then not done work on it. My test scores from last year wait for me to look at them. The Khan math tests are quite a bit too hard right now, so I should do some work. But now, as I look at this post and write more of it, it is night, and on the next day my big piece of work for this class will be due. I need to switch to that, but I don’t feel like I want to work on it. And I love to try to tell you my thoughts in this way. It’s hard but I like it. If you find words in this post that have more than one sound piece per word, please put them in the place where you write your thoughts. I will change the blog post so that they are not there.

I do not write for a few days. Then:

Yes – this week is close to gone and it’s worked out just like I thought it would. The post is due on this day. There was a test for Mr. Stone’s class on bugs during hour three. I stayed up real late last night to read my notes and the book, so I am tired as I write this. 

I’m glad I put in the time to read the stuff for this class! That means I don’t have to do it right as break starts, I flunk the last tests of the year, and we turn in our books. I liked the voice of the gal who wrote it as well. It was fun to read. But I did read half of it in third hour once I was done with the test in Stone’s class. One point for rushed work. (Yes, guys, rushed has but one sound part.) This post was as fun to write as that tale was to read!

This blog post was written using only monosyllabic (nice to be able to say that one again) words, to the best of my ability. I did a similar work in Creative Writing last year. I actually messed up and included one instance of the two-syllable word “happy”. Please, if you find some disyllabic words, write that as a comment, and I will try to fix it. Some of the words are in grey areas: real or re-al? There’s a great Yahoo Answers thread about it and another on (for some reason) a pro wrestling forum. These guys are more nerdy than we knew.
