【Aiden in English】
At last the tragic day arrives! Just as I began to get used the vacation and no responsibility whatsoever, it winds down from my 9-week long summer camps. Now, the school awaits in four short days. So at the very moment, the GHCS Summer Camp went out with a bang. Since today is Friday (Woohoo!) before Labor Day weekend, there would be a tournament a whole day long.
The tournament was basically two teams competing for points by answering questions about Chinese history and cultures or participating in events. Personally, I liked Chinese Yo-Yo. However, everyone preferred the Chinese chess to anything else simply because they could actually play, unlike when they did the Yo-Yo, where you had it flying around the room. I came out as the winner, particularly because I was lucky enough not to get hit by flying Yo-Yo.
Today was awesome with fun after fun. Surprisingly, for such a tragic day, today was AMAZING!

悲惨时刻终于来临﹗而我刚刚适应沉浸于饱食终日无所用心之中,一连九周之久的夏令营生活嘎然辄止。如今距离学校开学仅剩下四天光景,此时恰值劳工节长周末前最后一个星期五(呜乎哀哉﹗),宾州光华中文学校夏令营紧锣密鼓,赛事正酣。
本次对抗赛大致分为两个队,以回答有关中国历史文化问题或参加活动的方式来决定名次。就我个人来看,抖空竹最棒﹔而其他营员则偏爱中国象棋,原因很简单,因为中国象棋人人能够上手,不及抖空竹在教室内上下翻腾。我运气好,终因未被飞转的空竹打着自己而名列榜首。
今天算是酷翻了,精彩迭出乐趣无穷,这么过一个“凄楚”日子,实在超乎我们的想像之外。
