Today is my forth day in the training center, and honestly, I could be doing better. I've tried almost every weapon, other than the ones I can't even pick up, because they're too heavy, and nothing has jumped out at me as good. Bow and arrow, I've tried and almost hit one of the instructors. Camouflage I love, but it can't kill people. I head over to the knife throwing station, and go in the target next to the Careers, laughing and throwing knives hitting the edge of the little blue circle in the middle. Wow. That's actually decent, not amazing, but decent. I grab one of the knives fumbling with it and I drop it. The Careers all quiet and look over at me. And laugh harder. UGH!! They think they are so good because they got training and volunteered, and blah blah blah... In my anger I grab the knife and shoot it at the target in rage. With a thud as it hits the target, I realize that it just hit the blue circle. In the middle. I fight the urge to jump up and down in happiness and grab two more and throw them at the Careers targets. Blue circle, in the middle, again. Yes!!! The Careers look at me and I can tell they are judging me, scoring me. Might as well put on a show. I throw and throw until my arm aches and there are no more targets left untouched. Proud, I saunter off, wondering what they thought of me. Without allies, I'm screwed anyway, I probably just gave them a reason to hunt me down. I groan at my ignorance. Ugh. So stupid. I head over to the camouflage station and turn myself invisible near the fake tree.
