Narrative Essay

Last Monday afternoon my mom said I was going to Bethel for tests and also visits my sister and nephew in the hospital. That afternoon I went to the airport, got on the plane, and when we were taking off I turned my Ipod on and started listening to my Music. When we reached Nightmute I turned down my music and looked out the loading door to see if I was able to see anyone I knew. About 10-15 minutes later we took off again but this time we were going to Newtok because they don’t have runway lights and the pilot said, “We have to get there before sundown.”
I sat in the seat and looked out the window while the pilot unloaded the mail and boxes after he told the passengers to get on. On our way to Tununak I turned up my music. When we landed I turned my Ipod off and went out to take a break from sitting down. Later the pilot said "Okay we are going to Toksook Bay then to Bethel.”
I said to him “Finally," so I got in my seat put on the seat belt and turn on my music. The flight to Toksook was about a 10 minute flight. When we landed I stayed in my seat and waited till it was time to go to Bethel and about ten minutes later we took off. I pulled out my Ipod and timed the flight to Bethel about twenty minutes out of Bethel I fell asleep for about 10 minutes. When I woke up I looked at my Ipod timer and it was 35 minute flight but I didn’t stop it then. As soon as we got to the terminal I stopped it. The flight from Toksook to Bethel was 48 minutes. My flight from Mekoryuk to Bethel was about 4 hours total because routing to different villages. I hate these flights.
