so today at my school we had to go downtown on a city bus cause my school is so cheap -.- anyways after my whole class filled up the whole bus we arrived to the tallest building in my city. so why are we in downtown? there was this charity event for that organization United Way, so anyways the thing was we had to climb 25 floors, 2 flights of stairs per floor so technically 50 flights of stairs. so we got their feeling all pumped and excited, there were news broadcasters there with some tv crews that were filming us. we started dancing as a warm up and blah blah blah, then the tv cameramen started filming us, we walked to the stairs and then we ran like hell. it was being timed ause we wanted to beat last years niners that did it, their time was 12mins. so I was at the front with my friend for a bit, until like the 3rd floor (4 flights) I strte getting tired but not enough to stop. Then when I reached thr 10th floor I legit like couldn't move...I shouldn't have ran the first few but I did. anyways I was near the back for most of it. When I got to floor 15 I legit wanted to cry and go to sleep, partially because I was tired but mainly because my throat was burning. We couldn't get water until we reached floor 25 so that ... me and some girls from my class were like kinda last and they as well were tired, we stopped to take a rest but we continued, there were volunteers there thr were cheering us on and it felt good. they asked if I was okay cause I tripped and fell around floor 17, from there I started crawling on all fours xD IT WORKED! I did that till I got to floor 21 (lol, 2ne1) ANYWAYS, by then I was pulling all my strength in the handle bars and started pulling myself each step. my legs felt SO sore, it was almost as if I was walking in wet cement and my feet were being weighed down, I tried running but ended up stopping after 3 steps..that's how hard it was. I'm not saying I'm lazy and fat but I'm just saying I'm not the most athletic person in the world. I fail at running fast and apparently climbing stairs. ANYWAYS, I made it to the 25th floor and some kids were highfiving me and thank god I was not last. we climbing 472 steps in 8 MINUTES?? whuuuuut. I felt proud, after that we got some shirts that said 'so you think you can climb' and we got pop, chips, water and oranges and then we took the city bus back to school and I fell asleep on the bus xD I just thought I should tell you this because I'm awesome and I can finally say I climbed 25 floors in under 10 minutes. LIKE. A. BOSS. like the tag I put? ^-^
