My friend Sophia and I went to the Red Door escape room in Hillsdale mall! It was the first time that Sophia had played an escape room game.  A game tourist named Gabi helped guide us through the rules. After we watched a few background videos, we went inside the room. We were playing "Prison Break," a series of rooms that are part of a "prison" that we will have to escape. There was a hint button, and we could use that three times. For every extra we use, we add 3 minutes.  When we went into the room, there were two huge items: A toilet and a table. There was a mat on the stone table with a weird symbol on it. Under the table was a medium-sized black box with a combination lock securing it. "So, we need to find four numbers for this answer," Sophia said. There was also a rock inscribed: "for wa rd s/asH." There were tons of tally marks on the wall, four numbers, and forwarding slashes! Sophia entered the code 7946 and the box opened! It included...

Yesterday, we planned to go to Heavenly Valley to sled. Unfortunately, the snow was too thick for us to go sledding there, so we decided to go to a place where there was a tiny hill for sledding.  When I got to the sledding hill, I realized that the snow was quite soft.

I was a little frightened by him, but I wanted to sled this instant, so I quickly sat in the neon blue and yellow sled.

Fall break is exciting, but some people complain that one week is too short. In my opinion, one week is just the right amount for students to relax and learn. Students need to find a balance. Nine days should be enough for students to take a vacation and to review many academics. Enjoying time with family is memorable. For example, I will be going to Napa with my mom and dad on a hot air balloon, to make pottery, and to relax as a sweet treat for myself. See? The "sweet treat" is what fall break is rewarding you. Fall break is a great time to prepare for Halloween. There will be Halloween soon, which is another fun holiday. Even though there is no break time for Halloween, you still get to have lots of fun! Last but not least, Fall break is an exciting time to experiment and learn things that you don't usually get time to do in class, like reading comic books, writing essays on creative topics, and drawing! Fall break is good enough for nine days, equal to one week and a ...
