The Friday that I had been waiting for ended so quickly. It started off well in the morning, until the bowling competition. I had mathematics lesson in the morning. After that, I had a project discussion with my classmates until lunch time. I went to the campus crusade room to meet my friends for lunch and we went to food court food to eat.
After lunch, Khalis helped me with my computer do it yourself assignment before I went for my competition. I also played table tennis with some of the crusaders before I went to the bowling alley. When I reached the bowling alley, almost everyone was there and the competition started promptly. There was a ten minute practice time, which I did badly in.
The first game was mediocre for me as I got one hundred and forty points. However, almost everyone else did better than me so I was among the last few. Next to my lane, there was this bowler who got ten strikes and two spares in a single game. He was really good and I have to salute him for that. He got a score of two hundred and sixty six at the end of the game. As the competition went into the second and third round, my score began to drop and I was really frustrated with myself. My hooks became backups and the straights were not at all straight. I was also the only bowler to bowl a score below one hundred.
The competition came to an end, and the champion happened to be a female. I was quite surprised because the person who got the two hundred and sixty six score did not win or got second. He came in third I think. I did very badly in this competition, but it did not matter as it was already over. After everything was over, I stayed behind to play three games with some of my bowling friends before going home.
