18. MY BUSY HOLIDAY Recount Text
By: Rise Aditya Anggraeni
On April 16th, 2010, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because that
was the holy day for Hindhu people . I was so tired about the study, so I guessed
this time I could get full refresh anyway. However, the fact said the other way.
First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning helping my mother, of
course after I prayed. Then I did my chores, cleaned up my room, and spread out
my bed under the sun ray. I was really in danger if my mom knew that my room
was messy.
So, I made it as soon as possible. Second, my aunts called me in the afternoon. I
did not meet them for a long time, that was the way I kept for hours to talk with
them. After that, unpredictable my neighbor visited me. She asked my help
finishing her homework. At last, the time was running and I just remembered that I
had a lot of homework. I got mad, confused and regretful why I did not check my
homework before. Therefore, I did my homework until 2:00 a.m. the next morning.
I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long ship with
my homework.
