A Big Disappointment

           Today was Field Day at school. In my opinion, this was the worst Field Day in all the years I've been in school.
           For example, the stations were really unfair. They were all supervised by 5th graders. Once, I was trying to do the rope climb, and a fifth grader hurried over and told me to stand in a line. I saw one other person in that line. Then that fifth grader told the new people, who were her friends from the looks of it, to stand in a different line. That line was around 10 people long now. And then she came over to me and the other kid and asked us what we were doing in that line. She moved us to the back of the other line. I also got delayed around 10 minutes on the three-legged race because the fifth grader was too sloppy in attaching the velcro straps, and the thing broke, so I had to wait for the next race. If it weren't for these unfair people, I would have gotten a blackout and a trophy - I was only 4 stations away!
           Also, there were other unfair things. The most ridiculous of them all was the popcorn stand. I arrived there when there were around five people standing around the stand, and the 6-gallon bag was half full. I waited to get to the front of line, and by the time that I had asked "May I please have some popcorn?" there was a large mob of kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders pushing for popcorn. The woman said to a little kid: "Oh, aren't you sweet?" and gave him an extra helping of popcorn. They didn't say please or say thanks. Then she started serving all the others, and it looked as though she wanted to use up all the popcorn in the world on them. So I waited. And I asked again. And again. And finally, when all of them were gone, there came another mob. I was getting impatient now. All of them ran off with lots of popcorn, happily crunching their treats, without so much as a "I think that random kid should get some popcorn too." After the air horn signalling the end of Field Day and the start of the Spray Mr. Spray with Silly String event sounded, I finally couldn't take it anymore. I asked for popcorn one last time, and she noticed me. "We're out." she said, without any trace of sorriness. She scooped up a few kernels from the bottom and gave it to me. To get revenge, I raided the popcorn stand after the event, when the volunteer was gone, and found that there was still a lot of popcorn in there. A lot of people also cheated. For example, they got their hole punch first, and then just ran away without even doing the station.
           To sum up, I despised this year's Field Day because almost everything was unfair in some way.
