#472 Finishing your last exam

This is a great feeling. After a years hard work, you finally are done, It is when you finish that last exam you realize how quickly the year had went. All those times of struggles and all of those times of success are now behind me, its time for summer, time for relaxation. In a way though its upsetting knowing that summer has begun and that a harder task awaits you after it, but regardless its still summer where I can enjoy 2 months of freedom and pleasure.

#378 Finally making it past whatever was causing traffic to slow down

This is one of my favorite feelings, especially when i'm late to something because of traffic. You definitely feel a sense of relief when you get past the jam. I remember last year when I had a soccer game with my team. It was a crucial game, if we won we made it to provincials. I actually left home early that day but a massive accident on Deerfoot was sparking major delays, I was tense as I wasn't sure I would make it and I was worried I would be stuck in the traffic jam forever. All of a sudden it all clears and I get a huge sense of relief. I made it to my game 10 minutes before kick-off so I was late but I didn't miss the start. Unfortunately, we lost though, but it was still a relief.

Funny Memories

One of my favourite things to watch on TV are comedies. I enjoy any comedy whether its a prank show or a hilarious movie. I've watched a couple of hilarious videos. I'll also attach the link The first Funny #1: The Elevator Corpse Prank- The reactions were priceless. You would already be creeped out if you were in an elevator by yourself with a coffin, so imagine how scared you would be if the coffin were to open inside the elevator which got stuck. My second favourite prank was an Escaped Prsioner Prank- The nature of how it was done was hilarious. An actor (police officer) goes around in an apartment parking lot and warns people there is an escaped prisoner on the loose. The cop disperses after receiving information on where he might be, the "prisoner" then appears out of nowhere and the reactions are hilarious, most people just screamed and ran for their lives, still after they were told it was a prank meanwhile one guy actually confronted the prisoner and tried to manhandle him and take him down himself, so a bit of bravery and heroism involved I guess. Finally my third favourite prank had to be the room-mate robbery prank. The room-mate that pulled off the prank was telling his other room-mate about how burglaries were occurring in the area. He then left his room-mate all alone in the apartment and returned with a couple of friends with masks and fake guns. The prank didn't end well for the pranksters though, as the guy who got pranked unleashed a couple of fierce punches, leaving some of them with cuts and bruises.

Camping Memories

My favorite Camping Memory had to be the one time my cousins and I went camping in Egypt. It was a hot, humid day. I remember it fondly. It was just outside Cairo, with the weather being scorching hot at 40 degrees Celsius. My cousins pulled out their ice box, pulled out a couple of pops and we drank it like it was the last drink of our lives. I try speaking to them with my broken Arabic but they look at each other and laugh, but still applaud my somewhat  brave effort. Meanwhile, The sun is starting to go down, and a cool breeze is starting to settle in. In the distance I see Cairo. I see the pyramids slowly starting to fade away. My parents and aunts start start telling us stories when they were kids, meanwhile my cousin and I are playing Chess, Although I was very much capable of beating him, I let him win a couple of times. I look around and I see myself surrounded by family. and as the light fades away I go to sleep onlooking the big city, knowing this is a memory I will truly cherish and share for the rest of my life. That quickly turned bad. It was windy at first, but then it suddenly escalated out of nowhere. At first, we thought it was okay and the wind will pass us, but then things started flying in the air and thats when we started getting concerned. My phone which was laid down on the ground just flew away, I was trying to find it, meanwhile my parents were trying to pack up. Sand was viciously flying ito our faces. Arguments start flying out of nowhere. "Where is the car!?" "Its that way!" "No actually its that way, I can't see!" My little cousin starts laughing when instead he should be panicking, As for me, I was dejected as I couldn't retrieve my phone, and still panicking at the same time. My cousins, aunt and uncle meanwhile, just like us are trying to find a car or any shelter whatsoever. We just put our sleeping bags and whatever else we can find over our heads and calmly wait for the sandstorm to subside, which it did in half an hour. When we finally come out of cover, we start breaking into laughter. Truly, a memory to never be forgotten.
