After a fun-filled weekend at Indianapolis, I had to wake up extremely early to take a long bus ride to Indianapolis again. The bus rides with my friends are always a good time, so that helped make the bus ride there seem a lot shorter. Yesterday was my second experience at Indianapolis Repertoire Theatre, and the play "To Kill A Mockingbird" was exquisite. All of the characters that were involved in the show did an excellent job. I cannot even imagine participating in such detailed plays at the age of ten like some of the kids did. The discussion time at the end was a great idea because it helped clear up some of the questions that I was wondering. I am very glad that I decided to go irregardless of being exhausted after my busy weekend, and hopefully in the future I will be able to go see many more of the plays produced at IRT.

According to Wikipedia Bowling is a common game in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface either into objects called pins or to get close to a target ball. There are many forms of bowling, with one of the most recent being tin pen bowling and the earliest dating back to ancient Egypt. Other places where bowling was first seen were ancient Finland and Yemen and in 300 A.D. The first standardized rules were established New York City, on September 9, 1895. Today, bowling is enjoyed by 95 million people in more than ninety countries worldwide.

Bowling is a sport that I really enjoy doing throughout wintertime on the weekends. A bowling alley was recently opened up in my hometown, so I was really excited to have something to do close to home. I do not get anywhere close to a perfect score, which is a 300, but I believe that I am decent at bowling. I always have a good time when I go bowling, so I would highly suggest trying to go bowling.
