On Thursday, May 28th my classmates and I went paint-balling. I found this day to be the most enjoyable of the last two weeks of unit. The first arena we played on was The Junkyard. This was by far my favorite arena, primarily because in the first round I had 7 kills and was not shot at all, and eventually being the last survivor. The next round I had another two kills right off the bat, however I was shot withing the first few minutes. Clearly I had gotten a little over-confident. It wasn't really painful getting shot, but I was shot on the neck from 10 feet out which did hurt quite a bit and left a pretty big mark. After refilling on ammunition, we returned to the castle arena, in which we switched from Team Deathmatch to Capture the Flag. Both myself and my teammates didn't have much success this time, as we were rushed and didn't know how to handle the situation. I was ultimately shot 10 seconds in as I attempted to hide behind a tree. Next round, the tides unfortunately kept going with the opposing team. We tried a similar strategy however the opposing side was ready and I was shot after taking out a few members on the other team. Again we refilled ammunition and replenished the air pressure of our guns. The next round was very tactical and involved both gaining the advantage of high ground as well as winning over a key point of the map, the middle house. I went around the perimeter of the map and made my way from building to building after taking out 2 opponents. Once I made my way behind enemy lines, I took out another 3 opponents without getting shot at at. However, on my attempt to beat an opponent on the high ground, I was shot at the same time that I shot him. After taking each other out, my teammates needed some serious help and were pursued quickly by the opposition. We ended up losing pretty bad, but in the end it was a good effort. Finally, we finished up the last round on Junkyard again, where we were allowed to use as much paint as we wanted, in addition to an extra life each round. Bailey and I paired up on a team and nearly took out the other team single handily. We combined for 8 kills in the first round and 7 kills in the ensuing round. I had a great time at paintball and I hope tomorrow's boat-building experience is just as fun.
