Day 12: Did I See into The Future?
About a month ago on a day like this, I tried to activate some passive vocabulary. You know, words and phrases that I know, but don't use. One of these words was "aisle", which means corridoor or the passageway between two rows of shelves in stores. I tried to use it, so a random sentence came up: I walked through every aisle in the store, but came up empty. I was so glad because I also used a pretty good phrase in the sentence.
After I finished my learning plan for that day, I went to the store to buy something to eat. It was a brutally hot week, every blade of grass was completely dry, so my journey to the store felt like a little walk in hell. 20 minutes later I arrived the store, and started putting the necessary groceries into a basket. After I was done with it, I went to the cashier. There were a lot of people in the row, so I had to wait. I wanted to check my wallet to decide what I could pay with, but a sudden wave of wrath washed over me. I couldn't find my wallet.
I tried to remember if it was stolen or if I just didn't bring it. When I realized that I hadn't brought it, that was a real nightmare. I felt like I could have started yelling in the middle of the store. Don't worry, I didn't. I walked through the store again and put back everything to its original position on the shelves. Everyone looked at me strangely while I grumbled to myself, "Why didn't you activated that freaking smarthphone payment method earlier?!"
After 40 minutes of hell walking and non-shopping, I can say again: I walked through every aisle in the store, but came up empty. ☺️

Wow, thanks :D
About a month ago on a day like this, I tried to activate some passive vocabulary.
perfect sentence.
One of these words was "aisle", which means corridoor or the passageway between two rows of shelves in stores.
I am a native english speaker and i barely use that word but its very useful and common
I tried to use it, so a random sentence came up: I walked through every aisle in the store, but came up empty.
This is perfect but what exactly are you referring to when you say ''came up empty''
It was a brutally hot week, every blade of grass was completely dry, so my journey to the store felt like a little walk in hell.
I really enjoyed reading this part. I could literally see the grass in my mind and imagine you walking and sweating in the heat. Very good poetic descriptions.
20 minutes later I arrived the store, and started putting the necessary groceries into a basket.
arrived (at) the store.
After I was done with it, I went to the cashier.
it sounds a bit dramatic to say ''done with it'' so I would just say ''After I was finished, I went to the cashier''
There were a lot of people in the row, so I had to wait.
did you mean ''line'' at the cashier?
I wanted to check my wallet to decide what I could pay with, but a sudden wave of wrath washed over me.
very good use of vocabulary and description of emotions.
I tried to remember if it was stolen or if I just didn't bring it.
I understand what you are saying but it would be better to say (I thought to myself, ''maybe it got stolen.'' If you say you are trying to remember if it was stolen that means it was more likely it was already stolen. I hope i explain myself haha.
After 40 minutes of hell walking and non-shopping, I can say again: I walked through every aisle in the store, but came up empty.
''empty handed'' might be better.

I really enjoyed reading your text. I felt like I was reading a novel and feeling your emotions. I felt anger for you because I have experience somemthing similar where I have left something at home that I needed and it is frustrating. You should definitely write a book because you have a talent with writing. I felt like I could see the details of the grass and feel the heat of the day and see the basket and everything.

This is perfect but what exactly are you referring to when you say ''came up empty'':
I meant "I came out of the store empty handed."
did you mean ''line'' at the cashier?
Yeah, "line" is a better word for that sentence. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your thoughts. I already tried writing a book in my native language, but I stopped because I didn't have enough motivation, but maybe one day I'll finish it and write another one in English. 😀
