off school, english coursework

Today's going to be a little bit boring. I should be at school, but I'm not. Dad couldn't get me the film that I wanted; Teeth that is. I shall try to find something else to watch instead. Perhaps I could finish Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I stared watching it last night, but I got too tired to finish it. I might even complete my English essay! I don't have much to do to be honest, but there are still improvements to be made. I'm still a little worried about the other piece of my English coursework because it's due in on the 6th February, and I have no idea what to write. Basically, to cut a long story short, I have to write a letter or a diary extract of someone who's in the war. My teacher said it would be best to write it in the first person. She also said it could be either from a male point of view or a female. I chose to do the male point of view because I know nothing about war nurses. Anyway, so far I have...

There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, for the things I have witnessed no other man should ever see. The pain is so much more than just loss of limb, or the sheer feeling of being alone. It's the terror of silently knowing that with each minute that passes, death is creeping steadily towards us over the gaping mouth of No Man's Land.

Does anyone ahve any suggestions as to what I could write next?
