Hello Readers! I am in the 6th grade at Durham Academy, and recently, my class went to a YMCA camp called Camp Kirkwood. We left on August 30th Ā and came back October 1st. We were there for 2 nights, and we did all kinds of fun things. My favorite things areā¦ the kanga jump which was a giant inflatable trampoline,
So at first I didnāt think we would go. I thought this because there was a hurricane that was about to hit the camp. But then the day before, the school said we would go. So I packed up that night and barely stuffed all my stuff into a tiny duffel bag (the biggest one we had) and a giant case for a tiny sleeping bag. We got there and had some sandwiches. Then when we got back from lunch, we just hung out. That night a bunch of people in my cabin got sick. And while we were sleeping (or trying to) the rain of the hurricane reigned, like a god snapping the reins of itās chariot (Iām so sorry). When we woke up (or when we were allowed to turn the lights on) the lake had risen so much, one cabin couldnāt walk 10 steps out of their door without walking straight into the lake. That day was pretty fun, and we just did a bunch of activities. That evening after dinner though, we got to do something REALLY fun! All the other groups had done the āV-Swingā but not us. And since it was so fun, they let us do it while everyone else was doing something else. And it was soooooo fun! I got harnessed to a rope, and then another rope pulled me up really high, and then let go, and I swung around for a long time. I was the only person in my group to go all the way to the top. The next day, we did ziplining over the lake which was super fun. Then it was time to go Home. My friend walker (link below) said that some kids on his bus were trying to summon the singer Ice Spice by putting Taki chips (spicy) in the Ice drink. I was waving to other cars. It was pretty fun!
3-0 Ohio State faces off against 4-0 Notre Dame. Hello Readers!If you have looked at my word cloud than you should know that I am an Ohio State fan. If you didnāt know, Ohio State is a university in Ohio, USA. But I am an Ohio State Football (American) and recently they played Notre Dame Football (an Indiana University). Ā In case you didnāt know, in American football, every time a player either catches the ball in or runs the ball into the end zone, that team scores 6 points. They have a chance then to get an extra point, but thatās not relevant. What is relevant is that instead of scoring a touchdown (described before) they can kick the football between two poles to get 3 points. So in the first quarter no points were scored. It was a defensive and offensive struggle on both sides, and each side kept turning the ball over. In the second quarter, my team, OSU (Ohio State University) scored a field goal (three points between the two poles), and the score was 3-0. In the third quarter OSU scored a touchdown and earned an extra point. The score was 10-0. I felt good about our chances, especially because it was a low scoring game and it seemed like our two scores were just chances that they allowed us but we wouldn’t allow them. But then with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Notre Dame scored a 1 yard running touchdown. Then they scored a 1 yard passing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Score: 10-14 Notre Dame. I thought we could still score, but we kept turning the ball over. No one scored. Then we had the ball 10 yards from the end zone. But there were seven seconds left. We couldnāt do anything with the press defense they were playing. 4 seconds pass, and we get to the 5 yard line. 3 seconds left on the clock. No hope. We bunch up on the snap, and the ball is hiked, handed off andā¦ ā¦TOUCHDOWN OHIO STATE! 16-14 Ohio State. We score the extra point. 17ā14. But there is still one second on the clock. So we kick off out of bounds, and they get the ball on the 35 yard line. They do some crazy play with lateral throws, but no use. Ohio State wins!
