Uptown Free Write

Usually my morning always start off with the same set schedule, but this morning I had happened to be running late because I was up all night hanging out. Instead of having class in Gateway like we normally do. We were going to be having English class in Uptown Charlotte for a new take on our free writing. So even though I was already running late breakfast still started at eight o’clock, as usual. Classes would follow and start at nine in the morning so we’d all leave the cafe around eight forty five. This morning the Peer Leaders came around earlier than they normally would to round up everyone in the Summer Bridge Program, to leave ten minutes early. Which was a shock to us all because we all had already got to breakfast late. So everyone began to rush to be able to meet outside on time. Finally everyone made it outside so we could head uptown and automatically I had gotten frustrated because I was already being rushed which I don’t like at all and it was extremely hot outside early this morning. The longer we walked the heavier my bookbag had got. Nobody knew how far we were going to be walking everyone just kept saying “oh we’re just going uptown” etcetera. All the blocks we walked looked the same because of the construction and also I’m new around here so I don’t really know my way around here just yet. We finally make it to uptown where everyone is just in a way rude I assume because everyone is just trying to make it to where they need to be on time. Personally I still don’t think that’s a reason to be rude, but we make it to our destination with our Professor and he begins to go over our morning assignment and dismisses us all to go off to complete it.As I walk around Uptown Charlotte to find a seat I notice a few alleys with all kinds of cool graffiti which looked interesting on the walls. I walked down the alley and I ran into a few homeless people towards the end and I was alone so I decided I turn around because it was a quite a few of them and I wasn’t really comfortable being alone with them. There was also  a lot of construction and early morning traffic going on. I also noticed there was a lot of people transporting through these new high tech scooters and ubers. I noticed a mall and decided to go in to find more inspiration and escape all of the sticky heat and pointless noise, as I walked towards the mall I bypassed a very loud water fountain that was really annoying because the water kept splashing on me and my phone as I was typing. Finally I get past the annoying waterfall and almost made my way into the mall but it was just a crowd of business people everywhere trying to make it to work or school on time. They were blocking the doorway in a sense you could say because the crowd wasn’t really moving. So I finally got through the crowd and into the mall entrance only to find out it was the ridiculously long Starbucks line that was holding up the crowd at the door.  When I walked in I was surrounded by all kinds of food shops and other kinds of stores. I started to feel a little uncomfortable because I’m not used to huge crowds,and even though the mall was packed I began to collect myself to be able to write because I knew I didn’t have a choice. So as I’m wrote I started to feel a little more relaxed as if no one was around. Although, I was feeling extra tired because me and a few friends stayed up extremely  later than usually just chilling; listening to music and eating a whole bunch of snacks. I still pushed through to complete the assignment because we were also on a time schedule, as long as it felt like I had been working I finally finished and made my way back to where originally met at to make our way back to Gateway to head to our next class on time.
