Under Construction

As many people have told me the best way to get better at something is to practice. So here I am trying to improve my writing skills. Here goes my alphabetical blog for 26 days.

The letter A
Atlanta/Alaska

The California Educational system

A conversation between three people sitting around the dinner table contains the normal chit chat and boring nonsense. Nothing out of the ordinary.


Jane: So I don't understand why were spending so much money in this war its not even our country and were not even profiting off of it at all.

Jill: Well yeah most do think we should take charge of oil we'd make a killing.

Jane: I know our tax dollars should be going to more important things like fixing up New Orleans in the state of Atlanta and all that.

Jack: What state?

Jane: Atlanta duh, you know where all that flooding and hurricanes happened not to long ago. I think the money should stay in the country with Americans.

Jill: Yeah I'm sure the state of Atlanta does need it more. What was the capital of Atlanta again?

Jane: Hell if I know I don't remember geography at all. What is it like Jacksonville that's ringing a bell somewhere?

Jill: Yeah that's for sure. Where did you get your diploma from?

Jane:The great state of California. The school I went to had some of the highest test scores you know.

Jill: They must hand out those to anyone who can write there name correctly or if that's true then you must have dropped those test scores way low because one Jacksonville is in Florida. Most importantly dorkess Atlanta isn't a state its the capital of the state of Georgia genius. I think you should open a map once in a while.

Not to long after the three are discussing vacation plans for the summer.

Jill: I was thinking we should just go camping all we need is some tents.

Jane: How about we go to Alaska its the summer not cold for 2 months?

Jack: We have to take the ferry because it's an island and you can't drive there. I could loon up the schedules right now.

Jill: ALASKA'S NOT AN ISLAND! We are never moving to California because the kids will have a terrific education like the two of you.

Jane: Isn't it ?

Jill: Genius sister genius brother. I will pull out a US map for you both to look at there's Alaska it is connected but its placed on the side of the map so you can see it. Were not going there any way its a three day ferry or like a drive from Seattle to New York City.
