Today was the day of the actual state bowling. I was hard to get up but eventually got up to my alarm at 7:15. My mom brought me a waffle from the lobby for breakfast. So yeah, I got ready and we left.
We were supposed to be there at 8:00 but nothing really started until at least 9:00. It was so boring. When we actually started, we weren't that great. I don't know what we were averaging, but it wasn't that good.
A few games later, we were doing better. I wasn't really keeping up with everyone's scores but our average went up. I was kind of stressing out because I was definitely the worst on the team. At one point every person had a strike except for one of my frames. But whatever.
We took a break for lunch at noon. By that time we were in the top five I think. I had also started doing better. Lunch was a sack lunch with a ham and cheese sandwich, cookies, and you could pick chips and a drink. I tried that new Starry drink and had some Cheetos. Then we ate in my mom's car and I accidentally wore my bowling shoes outside. Then when we got back in and I went to wash my hands, Tyler was like, "Dude, why are your bowling shoes on in the bathroom?" So yeah, he probably would've freaked out if he'd of known I wore them outside. I don't really care though.
Bowling started again and we did better. I got more strikes and spares. Finally we were done, but not really. We'd bowled the 24 games but needed a position round for some reason. We scored really low in the position round and moved from 2nd to 4th. Then we bowled against the 3rd place team and won and then bowled against the 2nd place team and barely won. That was probably the best moment of the day. Ian had to bowl a strike on the last frame or we'd lose. He through a strike and we won by one. I thought Bryce was gonna cry.
Then it was us against the 1st place team, Seckman. The first game, I bowled a gutter ball but then spared. We also lost that game. We played them again because it was best out of three. We won the second game. The last game they ended up winning. I really didn't care. I bowled good on the last game so at least it's not my fault. It was fun but a long day. It was probably 5 o'clock when we left. But yeah, I did end up winning some scholarship money, $2,600 split among the team. So that's $520. That's like six Red Lobster shifts. Not bad. Josh tried making everyone emotional at the end by talking about how much we mean to him and whatever. Then we took some pictures and left.
From the bowling alley we went straight home. I think I was still watching The Mandalorian on the way home. We also stopped at Jack in the Box and I got a cheeseburger, sweet tea, fries, and secret sauce, which I was hoping would be better. The burger was delicious though. Then it was a pretty normal ride home.
We got home and didn't really do anything. That night though there were a lot of weird bugs in the kitchen that I guess somehow got in through a window. Janell started going crazy and my mom got out of bed and we started vacuuming them off the ceiling and table. Kind of gross.
Today was cool because we got 2nd at state and that's a pretty big accomplishment, but it still felt like a waste of time. 6/10.
