My weekend

Movie, dinner, and a test

By Charles Pulliam

Saturday topped off a another great weekend. We checked out a water park, played some paint ball and kept the sunburn coming. That night, I switched up the dinner and a movie theme. My creativity placed the movie first then the dinner; another big step in orginality for me.

We went to "Ocean's 13" and indulged in some butter-drenched, slightly burned popcorn. Each bite seemed like it hurt to eat, but it was there, so we ate it.

After real hunger kicked in following the movie and the urge to do anything to get rid of the taste of popcorn. Mona Lisi's was calling.

The Italian restaurant, which turned out to be a very nice place, closed at 10. We arrived just after nine, but the place decided to close early right after we were seated. One of the nicest places in town, serving just us. It reminded me of the scene in the Disney cartoon "Lady & The Tramp." Do I need to say more?

The restaurant was like an escape, but I have to take my Associated Press style test tomorrow morning.

Am I prepared? I hope so.

I think I have a general grasp of AP style and my specifics have been updated after countless quizzes online to help study these past few days. An incredible opportunity awaits, I just need to pass the test first. It's a stepping stone into journalism.
