Journal #32: Epiphany

Memoirs, something we are learning about in English, often end with a epiphany. An epiphany in lamans terms basically means that the light bulb shows up over someones head and they realize something that they had never realized before. So now, I will write about an epiphany that I had over winter break.

Well, over winter break, my family decided that we would go and visit NASA, because that would be really cool, to see where they launched the spaceships and everything. Really cool right? Right! So we drove down to Texas, longest drive of my life, and finally we arrived at NASA. Everyone was soooooo excited. Especially my dad, because he loves that space stuff. I like it too, just not as much as him. So we check in and schedule a tour for the next day, because obviously we cannot just walk into a major space station and dilly dally around. I mean, that is some classy stuff. Once we get our visit in order, we head back to our hotel. It was not the nicest hotel, but hey, it had a swimming pool, and that is pretty much all that mattered. We arrived at our hotel at 4:30 pm, and we swam for approximately two hours (6:30 pm). Then we ate dinner at this amazing restaurant, where I had one of the most deliscious steaks ever. It was amazingly good.

The next day we visited NASA. We had to go through all that security stuff, which was annoying, but it is whatever. Our tour began. Apparently it was some kind of Texas holiday, and everyone was staying home enjoying it, so we were the only ones on the tour. My mom, dad, brother, sister, me, and my dog. Just kidding, dogs are not allowed there, so he did not come with. As we walked through NASA, we saw where they worked on the equipment, the trial runs, the area where they run the launch, and many more rooms of neat stuff. Since we were the only ones on the tour, we got to do all the trial stuff that prepares the astronauts.

So what does all of this have to do with an epiphany? Well, at the end of the day, I had an epiphany that I wanted to become an astronaut. Well, I started training immediately and I became an amazing astronaut!!!!

Actually none of this happened. We never went to Texas, or NASA, and I never became an amazing astronaut. This is just creative writing gone extreme. That is all.
