Almost every month in the area I live in, most schools have PA days or (Professional Activity days). These days are usually the day before or after the weekend when the students get to take the day off and have a long weekend when the teachers still have to go to the school. Nobody really thinks about what the teachers do during the PA days so most of the students just have fun and treat the PA day as an extra day to their weekend. When I was a little younger I always thought that the PA days just extended the weekends but now I realize that the PA days also shorten a number of days of school before or after the weekend.
Last Monday was the first PA day of the school year and my brother, mom and I did some things on Monday. Our mom already planned a few things for us to do a few days before so we didn’t really need to think about what we should do since we already knew what we were going to do. In the morning, I just woke up and stayed in bed for a few minutes and then my brother and I went to get our hair cut while our mom went grocery shopping. After we did that we went back home to drop off the groceries and then went to the Richmond Green Library to get our library cards. We just walked into the library and went to one of the desks that were located in the library and my mom gave the lady their some of our ID information and then we gave our phone number, email, and some other things to her. The lady at the desk then gave my brother and I each a card for us and our mom to sign. After that, she gave us all the details about our cards like how many books we can borrow at a time, where we can return our books, how long we can borrow the books until we needed to renew or return them, and things like that. After we got our library cards we went to a nearby Japanese place to eat lunch and then we went home and enjoyed the rest of our day.
That PA day was different to ones before which we had last year since last year we just went out to eat lunch and then my brother and I went home to play video games. This time was also pretty interesting though, but we probably won’t do too many things like this in the future.
