Mark Kleinzschachwitz, a smart college student studing at RPI in Troy, NY, was looking down at his laptop, with his headphones on, listening to Tech News Today, an online technology news show. All of a sudden, someone had gotten on the intercom and said "Nachste haltestelle: Dresden". He knew what this meant: that the next stop on the train he was currently on was going to Dresden. This was his stop. But just to make sure, he took out a crumpled paper out of his pocket, which was his intinerary, that told him to get off at the stop called Dresden. Mark was traveling through Europe on his spring break, which he had always wanted to do. His friend, Riley, had lived in Dresden for a year when we was in 3rd grade. Mark had ever wanted to visit this town after hearing of all of the awesome things he heard from Riley. He looked at a tram map after getting off of the train. He quickly calculated whick tram to get on, which was the 8 tram going in the direction of Hellerau, a small, ...

Hello everyone! I just got a comment on one of my recent posts saying: " Hi! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask. Does managing a well-established website like yours take  a massive amount work? I'm brand new to running  a blog however I do write in my diary on a daily basis.

For the past few days in English class, we have been making a scary story. I decided to type mine during lunch today, so I figured I might as well just publish it on my blog: One Saturday morning at the LaGoy home in Malta, NY, Cade woke up. He turned on his side to look at his alarm clock, which read 9:21AM. He got up, and walked across the hallway to Callie, his sister’s, room, to wake her up. Cade was often very funny, so to wake her up, he would always say “ Hey Callie girl!”  Callie got out of bed and was about to walk out of her room when she saw a spider, about the size of her dad’s hand, on the wall, crawling all over.
