Mr. Simms summer vacation
The private life of Mr. Simms was an extraordinary one. During the summer vacation he didn't hibernate, as I would have expected, in fact he did the opposite. The summer vacation was the time of year which Mr. Simms enjoyed the most. As the school was nearing it's end for this year Simms began to get unbelievably excited. The things he did during the summer would be considered strange and disturbing to his students however relatively normal to the other teachers in the school.
This year however was not quite the same as his wife was expecting a baby by the time school begins again therefore Mr. Simms spent half of his time studying what is expected of his wife after the birth of their child- watching Desperate Housewives. He remained inside his house for days on end watching the countless episodes one after the other out of fear and anxiety. He was horrified by the emotional traumas the 4 women in Desperate Housewives had as a result of being a housewife with a child. After finishing all four seasons, and getting quite involved with each character he proceeded with his summer holiday as if it were any other- he went to Tijuana.
As soon as the Desperate Housewives marathon was over Mr. Simms packed his bags and headed for Tijuana. This was the time which Mr Simms thought about while he was teaching his students about the civil war, or showing them a power point of the crusaders. It was definitely the highlight of the year. Going to Tijuana was an annual occurrence for Mr. Simms and every time he went, enjoyed it thoroughly. When he first got there he felt like he was home once more. He thought about his students, probably living their usual lame and boring lives. The first thing he did was go to a parade dressed in one of the colorful costumes which are usually worn there. He always considered the parades and festivals to be the heart of all excitement going on in the summer. He planned also on eating the local food, hiking somewhere and bird-watching. Even though all of these things were done summer after summer Mr. Simms never got tired or bored of it.
Another thing Mr. Simms did for a couple of weeks, while he was in America was take a full-time job as a truck-driver. This, to him, was also considered great fun. The truck was a great pride of Simms and loved to make adjustments to it.
This was just one of the many summer vacations Mr Simms had.
