The last couple of weeks have been great. The 15th and 16th was the Literature Festival. It was very neat to see the different authors and illustrators. Their stories and talks were amazing. Friday night was the Lit Dinner. The dinner was amazing, the guest speaker was very entertaining, and the band after diner was great. All in all it was a very fun night :)
That Sunday we took a boat out to one of the islands to do some snorkeling. The boat ride was awesome. We saw a whale on the way there and on the way back. The snorkeling didn't go so well. Since it is the middle of the winter here, the water was very cold. But that wasn't really the worst part. Just the feeling of being in the middle of the ocean, not having a floor beneath me, I kinda freaked out. Then looking down to the water I would start hyperventilating. So I was in the water for about 2 minutes then got out lol. For the rest of the time dad and I sat on the beach.
Monday was the farewell assembly for the Jim Hill group. There were lots of tears at that assembly. My dad got up the next morning to be at the airport at 5 to see the group off. I think he is crazy for doing that, but he is usually up early anyways so...
The rest of the week at school was a lot more normal. Classes were back on as usual. I have been going to classes every day. It has been very interesting going to all of the classes.
This last weekend Mr. and Mrs. French took my dad and I to Cape Hilsboro. We went for a hike, saw a kangaroo, sat around the bonfire and had a relaxing evening. Sunday morning I went for a walk along the beach, on our way back we stopped at a Tea House for some morning tea. I got back to Angela's house around noon and the rest of I was lazy lol. I watched a movie, took a nap, watched some tv and saw the Masterchef Finale. It was a really good day lol
Now that its getting so close to the time to come home, I'm getting very anxious. I really hope it doesn't make the next week go by slower. But I now leave a week from tomorrow :) Then I'll be on my way home!! I am soooooo excited!!!! lol
Well, I will see everyone in a week!!
