Cinco de Mayo: A fiesta of celebration,How track is going & Breezy Point
Today we were at the Cinco de Mayo festival on the west side of St.Paul. The first group of us (Molly, Cameron, Hannah, Naana and I) were there the longest. The projects that we did there were infrared goggles, pin-hole cameras and later thaumatropes. The goggles and cameras would have worked better if it wasn't so cloudy. At about 12 the rest of the group showed up and so Molly, Hannah, Naana and I were able to go on break. We walked down one way and I saw some friends from school. After that we went down the other way and Hannah was hungry so she got some corn and then we got some cookies to share between the 4 of us. We went back to the tent and after about a hour it started to rain so we packed up and left. Track has been real fun so far for me. This past Thursday we had a three way meet between us, Highland and Central. We beat Highland but we lost to Central by only 9 points. I throw the shot-put and the discus. My best record for the shot-put is 31 feet 6 inches and my best for discus is 84 feet 5 inches. Last weekend at Breezy Point we had a pretty good outcome. We came home with trophies for: 2nd place shooting as a team, 4th place domestics, 1st place white collar crime as well as a couple of individual trophies. I had a good time up there for it being my last year since I'm going into the military. Last but not least I was promoted sergeant at least until I leave. Until next time this is Big B signing out.
