Blog # 3

So last year I was in Orlando, Florida for my birthday and we went out to celebrate. We decided to go to the restaurant called Chille. Well when we got there we noticed that there was an amusement park right next to the restaurant so we decided to go there after ordering dinner. There was this one ride called The Slingshot. It is a huge ride that pulls you under ground in a volcano then releases you hundreds of feet in the air. So I was standing in the line looking at the ride and the people in the air thinking what am I doing? Am I crazy or something! This is Insane! but finally it was my turn and I was feeling about ready to puke! I remember thinking I'm to young to die! But finally it was my turn, me and my dad stepped up and got strapped in. I was sitting there literally close to tears! Then I heard a loud rumbling sound and I realised I  was going underground in a fake volcano. I was freaking out and wanted to close my eyes but my dad told me I had to keep them open to see all of Orlando. I looked down at my shaking hands and legs. My heart was pumping fast then all of the sudden I heard the sound and I knew what that meant. I closed my eyes for less than half a second and opened them and then I saw it, all of Orlando from hundreds of feet in the air! It was one of the most thrilling moments in my life and I loved it! I know that after that ride I can handle and other crazy amusement park ride!

So around one year ago, I had this iPod Touch of mine that I had bought with my own money. Anyways I said my younger sister Madison, she is 12, could use it during my soccer practise. Well somewhere along the 2 hours, she left it with my baby sister, Isabella, and she starting sucking on it. By time Madison realised what was happening it was too late. My iPod was ruined. When I found out what happened I was pretty mad but I didn't want to freak out at her. Besides, it was just an iPod. So when I got home I did everything I could, even after a week of letting it sit in rice nothing happened. Finally, I figured out that the water had gotten into the screen and so the screen stayed white. So I thought if I could at least import all my stuff onto my computer then I wouldn't waste a lot of money from buying songs. But then, I guess the water damaged something else in the iPod so it wouldn't let me import anything. So I finally got so mad I threw it. Yes it landed on hard ground. And yes it cracked the screen! So that didn’t help much. I finally gave up and my sister offered to give me hers, which she was saving up to buy. I said she didn’t have to. So a few months went by and my sister had gotten her iPod. I went to grab something she was holding and didn't know she had her iPod and ended breaking hers. So I guess we were even and we both learnt that iPod's don’t last!
