“Glee club to the lobby, your bus has arrived”, said the lady on the loudspeaker. I was so happy to be leaving this early in the school day, and especially to be going to sing and go to Lake Compounce. It was around 8:40 or 9:00. We walked out of the big front doors of Seymour Middle School and off to the bus that was parked beside the sidewalk. We got on and I was with one of my best friends, Brooke. We were so excited as we pulled off our drawstring bags from our backs and sat down next to each other. After about 15 minutes of sitting on the bus going literally nowhere and doing headcounts of the glee members, we finally started driving out of the school entryway and off into the road. On the way there, the eighth graders at the time were in the back of the bus, singing songs and practicing for our performance.

I continue up the street for a few more blocks and pull into the parking lot of the public library at 2:58. I put the car in park, turn it off, open the glove department and grab my earbuds, and take the water bottle from my backpack. I sprint up the stairs, into the Youth Department, and straight to the carts of books to be put away. Within seconds, my earbuds are in, the podcast app is open, and I’m pulling a cart of books over to the Junior Non-Fiction section.
