A typical day in my new house

Not to long ago I moved into a new house on Pulaski. It was a huge change moving from Adams street to Pulaski because the neighborhood was just becoming a better place to live. The neighborhood I am in now is really bad and ghetto, but the house I am living in changes my perspective of the neighborhood. Sometimes I forget that I even live in a bad neighborhood with crackheads, and drug dealers.The new home I am in now is really big. There are five bedrooms, a basement, a garage, two and half bathrooms, and a back yard. I now have my own room which I thought would be exciting, but it is not so exciting anymore because there is nothing to do. I come home from school and it is only my mom who is happy (a little bit too happy) to see me because she has been at home all day. I drop my book bag off at my room and go down stairs to try to find something to eat. I do my homework and then if it is not around eight o'clock then I listen to music.
When it becomes night outside all I hear is guys screaming to the top of their lungs about how another guy cheated them out of their money on a game of dice. Then I hear my momma screaming on the phone to people about something not working inside the house and then I hear my little sister yelling, " shut up...you stupid...shut yo big head up...OK what ever!...". Basically, I can say that my house and neighborhood is really noisy, but around ten o'clock or eleven everything dies down.
When I wake up in the morning, I prepare myself for school. I turn on the light to see what I am going to wear, but one thing I noticed about the lights are that they are really dim in the morning, but really bright at night. We have so many lights in my house it is crazy. My mom said if we were to turn on every light in my house you would think it was a light festivle going on. She always screams at me when I have my room light on, the bathroom light on, and my closet light on, but I don't care because I'm not the one who has to pay the bill(Don't tell my momma I said that).

Katherine - I love your descriptions. They always make me laugh! Don't worry - I won't mention it to your mom, but you'll regret it once you do have to pay a light bill!

Two litle things (overall great writing!!!!):

"Basically I can say that my house and neighborhood is really noisy"

"She always scream at me"
