Cooking Lesson 26th June Trimester 2

Today in cooking class we made pinwheel scones, AKA cinnamon rolls, AKA DELICIOUS! at first, our mixture looked crusty, flaky and dry but then as we rolled it out it started to look better.
I learned that the pictures in our recipe book don't match exactly what we were making, for instance, the picture in the booklet was a normal scone, and we made cinnamon scones! 
Rating: 9/10      Why?   Needs more cinnamon

Rollercoaster

Rollercoaster
AH! I yelped. We spun round in a full loop. As the roller coaster sped up, I felt like all of myinsides were being pressed into the back of my body. Then I felt it.
The motherload. In the middle of a 50-meter downward spiral at 100kms an hour,
I lost my stomach. Well, I felt like I'd lost everything that was my insides.
I felt light-headed light-footed and it was like the ice cream and various foods
I had eaten that day had been flung into the air on the 20-meter drop. I then realized
what would happen when the track went flat again. The drop was coming to an end.
Just at the part where you feel like you're flying, whump! Annnnd hello, my insides are
back.


I felt a jump in my stomach sort of area and then I felt like my insides were trying to escape through my
mouth. I grimaced and gulped down air like I'd been underwater for a little too long. I prayed and hoped
that the incline would start. And whoop de dang doo. It was still what seemed like miles away. I tasted dry in my mouth and my head started to hurt, and I realized I no longer wanted the incline on the track
to come, remembering my fear of heights, and I was slightly relieved. That was pretty short-lived though
because as soon as the incline came my inside were gone again. We shot up that tunnel so fast the seats on
the car tilted back, and I heard someone behind me scream:  "NO! MY PHONE!". We sped out of the tunnel, and I saw the end of the track, I sighed/screamed in relief, only to be cut off when we abruptly whizzed past the stop. That's when I completely lost my mind. someone screamed, "I'm too young to die!" Then I realized that person was me. SKWEEEEEEECHHHHHHHH! the rollercoaster shuddered to a stop. I looked towards the other people on the ride, I think some were laughing, and some crying. I couldn't tell though, because The screeching noise was so deafening I couldn't hear anything. just as well because there was some spoiled rotten 10-year-old who was having a tantrum and waving an expensive-looking phone that was cracked in her poor mother's face. 
     
I could barely stand and my head was spinning, but I got off the ride in one piece. The ride engineers had
come to get us after the teenage clerk who was meant to stop and start the ride walked off to buy a
milkshake. I had thoughts of walking right up to that stupid clerk and slapping him square in the face,
but my common sense got the better of me. At the end of the day, I was just glad I was still alive.
