Endurance

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

Have you ever participated in something that made you feel like you were on Endurance? I did, today, our school had Field Day which is where every homeroom is given a color Red, White, or Blue(I was white - go white!!! also I wore a white bandana but that was soo random) and 8th grade is like sooo small we only have 30-something people and like 6 were absent so the 8th grade-White team had like 8 people, and the other 8th grade teams had like 13. So yeah. Anyway when the little kids were done(unfortunately we had classes in the morning while the little kids competed - then 5th and up came out to compete) the white team was in first place!!! So the thing that REALLY made me feel like I was in Endurance was a few eight grade whites and blues came together(including me) and made an alliance b/c they have this game called Sneaky Pete and you have to go run to another team's cone and grab a bean bag and bring it to your own and at the end of like 2 minutes whoever has the most wins. Ok so after that we started the games and the eighth grade white team was doing well but I don't mean to be offensive but 7th, 6th, and 5th white teams SUCKED so by like halfway through we were in last.

Ok, new paragraph. Ok, so then the Sneaky Pete(beanbag thing) came up(I was in it). So there was like 8 people(hmm...let's see if I can remember who! Me, Christine, Katie, Arielle, Dana, Troy, Brandon, Nick...I think that's all) so we were telling everyone to go for RED since we had an alliance with BLUE but then Christine brought up that if we don't go for Blue then they'll have a lot b/c Red was going for us and not Blue b/c some red team members had told us that. So Christine and Katie were like "Red-blue-red-blue" and then Nick and Brandon were arguing "No! Just go for Red!" so then we *TRIED* to get a strategy but we argued too much so it didn't work. BUT, I told everyone that whoever goes first has to go for Red so Blue won't target us first. So then is started and we went for Red, Red went for us, Blue went for Red. Then Blue went for us, too, and so did Red, and remember, White was in last place!!! I was like "WTF We're in LAST PLACE". But then we had to start over b/c *SOME* people(*coughSeanRedTeamcough*
) cheated and took two beanbags not one so then we restarted and now our alliance had dropped so both Blue and Red went after us which I found retarded since you're supposed to go for the team in the lead. Anyway we miserably failed that game. We did pretty well, then it was time for Tug o' War!!

New paragraph again XD. Anyway the 5th and 6th grade white teams both lost BOTH times and I was like "-____-". Then 7th grade white team(which had sucked until now) went up and they won BOTH times and I was like "OMFG YAYYYY". Interesting fact: Red 7th grade totally CREAMED Blue 7th grade, OMG It was so pitiful to watch and I felt sorry for the Blue team sooo much. Then, 8th grade was up. I was in Tug o War and I was so nervous!!! We were up against Red who had like cheated in every other game so far but we apparently got the side with the grass or so Raven(blue team) says. Anyway it was like tied for the first minute, then I started pulling harder, and I could feel the Red team weaken, and the white team teacher Mrs. S. was yelling so hard, and everyone was like pulling so hard and I remember Arielle pulled in one burst and then we won and I was like jumping so high and cheering so much. XDDD

New paragraph again. So then we had to win against Blue team and we had a chance of winning Field Day. So, we went up against Blue team and they were so...weak, no offense b/c some of my friends were on Blue but we just like barely pulled and won, and then Red killed Blue, so we were all sooo nervous.

And then they announced the winners:

"In third place...........Blue team!"
"In second place....................................Red team!"
*White team goes crazy*

So yeah it was so fun too bad it's my last year, I don't think high school has field day lol.

Anyway sorry only like one paragraph is kindof like Endurance, the alliance with Blue that lasted like 30 minutes. So yeah...what about yall?

P.S. This took me like 15 minutes to type.

P.S.S. Also if that was too confusing tell me.

My school has a Field Day every year too. There's two classes per grade from Grade 1 to 8, so each class is either on the Blue Team or the White Team. We do very similar races to what you did, Bryan! We have our Field Day in May though, and this year, it's the day before a five-day weekend!

actually, almost a month ago, my grade went to a field trip called Project Adventure, in which we're spilt into groups of about 12, and we do challenges in the forest and fields, like balancing ourselves on this huge swaying board (think of that particular scene in National Treasure 2) and walking across a cable rope. That kinda made me feel like I was on Endurance, especially this challenge we did that was similar to the E4 SuperTeam mission! That was literally one of the best days ever

At my old school we had a field day every June which is very similar to yours, but in my High School we have one every May. It's on step-up day every year, and you're not in teams. There's dunk tanks, games, barbecue, music, sports, etc. It's a lot more fun I think, cause you have all day to do whatever you want =D

[futuristicPURPLE]

aww i miss field day/intramurals they were so much fun.

but we upgraded to page/grimsley spirit week which just might be awesome-r

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

Oh yeah that reminds me Kristen I'm going on a field trip in like 3 weeks to this place that's just like that!! Which reminds me, I need to get my permission slips signed.

I hope we have a fun day in high school. D:. The high school I want to go to (or...rather my mom wants to force me to go) doesn't seem very fun...But the seniors were painting signs and stuff when I visited there.

[cindycc101e2]

well my old school has a field days and walk-a-thon but i don`t think my new school 1 has 1 it`s still in the middle of the year so i still have 2 wait.

[unachicabelleza]

i'm so jealous. my school has like no spirit. the most we ever have is pep assemblys...and those aren't fun at all. and dances which are really fun, but only becuase we make them fun.

[cindycc101e2]

well, maybe you should talk to ypur principal or student council if you want some school spirit.
`cause my school just had a spirit week just 3 weeks ago.our school try to make kids get into school spirit,but the older kids are pretty much spiritless. it`s sooo sad.

[luckycharms4516]

my high school doesn't have field day (and even if we did i bet most of the seniors would think they're too cool to participate)..but we have like tons of spirit weeks, dances and pep assemblies too. and its almost like a sin if you dont go and support the team at football games. lol

[vote4llama]

my old school had a field day too but it was in May or June.
In High School, we have "Spirit Week". On Monday, you have to dress like a nerd (we go to a total nerd school so we're making fun of ourselves). On Tuesday, you bring in can foods and where a crazy hat. On Wednesday you dress up in school colors and Thursday you dress up like your grade's theme. (we were Saint-sational sophomores cause of the Saints haha). On Friday, we play a ton of games and have the class skit and song. They announce who won in all of the days, games, song, and skit. Then they announce who won at homecoming. The seniors win almost every year but this year the juniors won and the seniors were so mad. A girl almost got expelled but I'm not going to get into it lol.

I know this is an old topic but today we went on a field trip and it didn't really feel like we were on Endurance, but it forced us to work as a team to do a mission, and it was really fun! If yall want me to explain some missions I did, then post here because I don't want to start rambling again. xD

When I went to a camp with my church youth, we did all these different activities like a Ropes Course catagorized as "High-Ropes" it was INSANE!!! Heres all the obstacles.

1- Single Rope Bridge (Tiny rope with 2 ropes above it like a bridge)
2- Jump Swing (A jump across a 15 foot gap and you slide your way across hanging in the air XD)
3- Happy Hop! (Its a bunch of different height boards you jump to)
4- Log Swing (This was the most Endurance like, Logs hanging in the air that would roll when you stand on them, You had to swing them to grab the next rope on the next log)
5- Thin Bridge (Bridge that started big but got smaller and smaller the furhter you went)
6- Net Hang (Like spiderman, climb across the wall of rope)

Then your back at the start. Its a giant circle of obstacles. Its really fun. :3
Other then that School is like Endurance to me cause I stand on 2 chairs and push them away from me and try to stay on both of them XD
