My #3 thing on this whole adventure would have to be last night’s adventure. I had a ton of fun talking to people on our way back to the hotel and making sure none of us fell onto the wet pavement. The spur of the moment decisions is what makes the trip authentic, spontaneous, and a lot more memorable. Singing in the rain is pretty much what happens on this trip and it makes a gloomy situation so much fun. Some people chose to walk instead of talk the train back and complain about it which i think was counterproductive. With this said, there is always a slight chance that we were going to get lost. I think if they didn’t want to walk further then they had to they should have just took the train. Afterwards, my feet were a little sore from walking and being up 17 hours straight but Lexa, a few others and I were in high spirits despite our lack of energy we had a talk with the teachers and we decided to go walk and find some where to eat. Some of us went to eat Thai food. I had never had Thai before this and I decided to go out and try it. The thing that changed me was the conversation. Mr. Shagrin is a very insightful person and he gave us a lot to think about. we talked about how the trip mostly matters about the people and atmosphere you are in that makes the trip good and this diner is a perfect example of just that. My second top thing would be going to the beach today. I slept on the bus on the way there and was not in the mood to go on the beach especially since it was cold and raining. I ended up going and it was a ton of fun. At first i was just going to chill and take pictures but then lexa took her shoes off. I was debating on if I was going to take mine off too so I asked her to tell me how cold the water was. The water ended up being warmer then the air so I took my shoes off and rolled up my pants. We took a bunch of cute photos and we got soaked to midway up our thighs. We got super sandy and super wet and cold but it taught me to be spontaneous no matter if you are not in the mood. Even if you’re feeling tired you should do anything that looks remotely fun without a second thought. My number one thing that we have done so far would be going to Rangitoto College. They were the nicer most fun and outgoing people I know and they dint have the "popular kid air" to them. They didn’t try to be people who they are not and i really admire that. I will never forget them because they taught me to have an uplifting attitude and to be open to people no matter what because you never know when the next time you will see them again will be and the same thing goes for places.
Today we took a car tour around Sydney and stopped at places that we could take pictures of the water and other amazing sights. For lunch we saw the Opera house and walked around and then later went on a boat tour of the harbor. Both tours were amazing because the sights in Sydney are breath taking and there are so many different ways to look at them.
