​One day when clueless Cian and I were talking over the computer, something happened to my internet. We were going to play our favorite game but it was SO slow! I nearly died when I saw how slow it was to load into the online game.
After a bit of waiting, we finally got in but we couldn’t join each other because the game needed to update! We were as salty as a beach. When that was done, we had to wait again to start. We finally got into the game and we had the most fun ever.
After 15 minutes of playing my internet went and I just gave up!

I was on my way to Kerry and I was in the big blue jeep but I had to get there by two o’clock for an audition. On route, I asked what speed we were going. My mum replied we were going 40mph but that it was so slow, we wouldn’t make it on time.

​We were half way there by one o’ clock. I worked it out that since we left at 11, we wouldn’t get there on time. My mum increased the speed to 70mph but I suggested to rise it to 80mph because we wouldn’t make otherwise. My mum took my advice and so we got there at exactly 2 o’clock!

​My horse and I entered a race that we had been training for for a long time. When we arrived, we were waiting for the race to start. We were ready to go to the start but it was so slow I nearly lost my mind. When the race did start, we lost by a lot! I was furious! I gave the horse water and loaded him into the trailer.
I went home and rested and then put him in the back field. I went to bed because I wasn’t happy with the performance. I was so determined that we would train really hard for the next race!

Holly, Dylan, Patrick and l were going to Rockies Restaurant. Holly and Dylan ordered pizza. Patrick got pasta. I ordered roast chicken. All of my friend said the service was good but it was so slow l stood up flipped the table.     
The knives and forks flew up and stuck to the ceiling. The candles landed in a jug of water. The waiter walked over carrying the plates of food. He lifted his head and saw us standing, the table was upside down, the knives and forks were stuck to the and candles were in water jugs.
​ were banned for life.

​One day, I had a project to do with Tom on the late 1800s. We began by researching life in over 100 years ago. We said we would look at images. We saw a picture of a horse and carriage so we clicked on the picture and all of a sudden the laptop started to shake!! It sucked us into the screen and we found ourselves back in 1894 in a horse and carriage!!
 We started to panic but Tom spotted another horse so decided to race it against it with our horse. We counted down 3,2,1… and we took off but it was so slow!!
 I got angry and pulled the reigns off and as quick as lightning we were back at our computer.
Thank God I’m in 2020!!

​One morning I woke up and I was going on my holidays. We were in a very big rush and everyone was getting their belongings ready. We all got into the car and started driving. 
As we reached the coast, there was so much traffic and it was so slow! I got out of the car and walked all the way up to the top of the traffic. Then all of a sudden, it started moving so I sprinted back as fast as a cheetah! We were all so hungry so I asked my dad if we could stop for some food. He said he would stop at the next shop we passed.
​After 10 minutes, we stopped at Chloe’s café. We were all so happy.

This would be the year I would finally win the photography competition.

The theme was abstract. For inspiration, I decided to cycle down to the national park. On my way,I found a can of yellow spray paint and some cable ties. I put them in my bag and headed for the park. I parked my bike and thought for a minute. I had an idea but it would mean sacrificing my bike. I reluctantly took the cable ties out of my bag and tied my bike vertically to a post. Then I spray painted it yellow, and took a picture of it.
"It’s perfect!" I thought.

​The judges thought so too!

I thought this day would go better.

Yesterday I got a new bike. I
t was red and I thought it was very cool so I went to school on it this morning. 
I went up to Big Barry and said “My bike is so cool! I can even down wheelies on it”.
But when I did a wheelie, I fell over and everybody laughed.

Then Barry got my bike, tied it on the tree and said “the bike can wheelie itself and you can’t!”

Dying of embarrassment, I said “At least it isn’t bright yellow".
He sniggered, took a can of spray paint from his bag, and spray painted it bright yellow.

“Oh dear!” exclaimed Rob.

​He had spent all day looking for his brand new bike. He had a sinking feeling that“Bully” Bob was behind it. He never left Rob alone. Rob was just about to give up looking when he noticed something yellow tied to an electricity pole. He ran to the pole and was delighted to see that it was his bike-spray painted yellow! He could see his name where he wrote it on the underside.

A sudden giggling sound made Rob swivel around. There was Bob, laughing like a hyena. Robs angry streak took over and he gave bob an almighty punch on the nose! That taught him a lesson!
