Anytime i have had fees in the past ... as soon as i went in to check out more books ... i paid them as soon as i found out . They didn't send me any notice in the mail or anything ... no phone call either . So , i was shocked when i read the email . But anyway , when i got ready to pay her ... she seemed embarassed and said ... actually the fee was like 13.00 because more fees accrued since the notice was sent .

Why did I pay the fees as soon as I found out ?

Because I am responsible .

I was nervous about getting a read from a writer two days before they gave me their name.

Lettuce in particular is mostly made of water , so its always going to be risky , plus those little leafy bits are perfect for harbouring bacteria . Most people just avoid lettuce and other fresh non - peelable veg altogether . 5 ) Meat and dairy .

Why does lettuce have to be washed first in a diluted bleach solution ?

Let me tell you that the other AmeriCorps members were amazing ! Although we only spent a week together training , we really came together as a family , and its nice knowing that you have a support group that will be doing the same thing as you . Also , St. Louis is a pretty cool city , especially the arch ! As silly as it seems , it was cool going up there , and then checking out the museum downstairs . So I flew into Detroit last Saturday , and it was rainy and gloomy .

What's a possible reason the writer flew into Detroit last Saturday ?

Oh well . Everyone has asked me how the year has gone and to be honest I find it difficult to sum up . It's been long , and it's been hard work , and on occasion it has been scary and on occasion it has been thankless . However , in general , it's gone great - I've learned loads , I've made new friends and I've settled into my career . It wasn't all champagne and celebrations on the last day , because to be honest , I stopped feeling like the anxious new boy a while ago .

Why is it difficult for the writer to sum up the year ?

Because a lot has happened in it .

It's all hard work.
