  Have you heard of the aphorism, "Procrastination is the thief of time? I think it applies to me. I need to thinking about a job for which I have apposite skills. I think it would appease my parents if I do so this summer. Otherwise, Ill have to make an applogy to them for brrowing money again.

  Should I be a chef? It would be fun to appease the appetite of hungry people. But I dont even know how to operate the simply appliances in my kitchen!

  Maybe I can appraise property for a real estate company. How hard can it be to make an appraisal? But Id have to be good at observing the appreciable differences between various properties.

  Perhaps I should be a criminal lawyer. I could use my big sad eyes to appeal to the judge for mercy. However, I dont think my parents would appreciate my choice. Defending murderers and thieves would appall them.

  What about being a pliceman! I could apprehend crinimals and put them in prison. I can imagine the warm feeling of appreciation I would get for saving someones life. On second thought, I dont think I can be an applicant for a position that involves guns.

  I could be a politician. Id have the power to appoint people to positions of importance. But then Id have to make really difficult decisions like how to apportion our limited water supply.

  What Id really to be is an NBA basketball player like Michael Jordan. Hes the apotheosis of athletes. Everyone applaunds his amazing skills. But I should be more realistic, shouldnt I?

  I think I better start with a simpler job. This summer, Ill submit an application to McDonald!
