The day has finally come! The new movie I have been waiting for all my life for has arrived in theaters. I couldn’t contain my excitement but first I had to go to school. At school it was as if I had ants in my pants all day long. I could not sit still! After I got to school, I went to my desk and started my work but all I could think about was seeing the new movie tonight. The whole day dragged on, it felt like an eternity. At one point I started drawing the characters from the movie all over my school work. When my teacher came over to my desk, she saw that I was not doing a very good job. Uh oh, I am in hot water now! “Andrew, you need to get your act together or I will call your parents!” I had to pull myself together, so the rest of the day I made sure to pay attention so my teacher would not call my parents. When I got home, I couldn’t wait to go see the new movie. “Mom, dad, let's go! We need to leave now!”

• the water was too hot

• the shower water was hot

• in lots of trouble

• it's isn't hot enough to go swimming

We finally got to the movie theater and I couldn’t have been happier. The movie was awesome. However at the end of the day, I felt like a bump on the log. All that excitement wore me out! I can’t wait for the next movie. But right now I have to hit the sack. What does “waiting for all my life” mean?

• It was the best movie of my life.

• Watching movies is my favorite thing to do.

• I waited to get tickets for five hours.

• I have been waiting to see the movie for a long time.
