Life
Well. So...
Life really goes on. Even after you dont want it to, but this time? This time, im glad that it continues wothout glitches. Im talkin in general of course! You age. You make friends.. It really doesmt matter what country is the backdrop of the play of your life.
Right?
Wrong. It MATTERs so much were you live. Especially what school you attend. Because the school you go to molds who you are!
After this serious post, ill write a funny one.

Clothes
In Jordan, wearing short shorts is probably the dumbest thing you can do. People stare and glare..(hey that rhymes!) A tank top? You're MAD! Anything SLIGHTLY against the dress code to school? For SHAME! Wear anything but pants and a tee, you get stared at. A LOT. But here, anyone can wear anything anytime! You can wear weird pants and an even weirder shirt, but people are USED to it. You can wear short shorts, or just go naked. Wear a mini dress, WHATEVER! and no one CAAAAAAAAARES! It's beautiful. But im sooo used to the strict dress code, that I simply CANNOT wear anything other than pants. Short shorts kinda scare me... Anyway, beauty here is also different. People that are deemed beautiful are...small. petite. pale. preferably blonde. It's like how some countries want large, bronzed women with dark hair and eyes, they want the opposite here. its actually kind of funny! The people here don't want to get tanned, so they walk around under umbrellas so they stay pale. THE HILARITY! I might post pictures, but i dont think i can take pictures of random people..
Loves,
Mira

Mira's Big Adventure
Todau started out like any other school day. I rode the bus, was scared sensless during latin, laughed during lunch with my friends.
It was a normal day!
Until i got on the bus. I looked at the numbers in the front window of the buses. The bus changes everyday, so when i looked into an open bus and spotted 3C on the inside, i hopped on the bus and started reading. After a while, i got sick and i looked up.
Oh..my..god.
It dawned on me that i was on the WRONG bus. i looked at the signs and nearly wet myself.
I had no idea were in the world i was.
The only name i recognized was "Kowloon" and that was not good. Kowloon was the OTHER side. Panic gripped me fiercly an refused to let go. IN OUT IN OUT INOUTINOUT.. i looked around wildly.
How could i have been SO stupid? Oh yeah. I am usually stupid.' Ok Mira' i thought ' now this IS a pickle.. You should wait until the END of the route and then tell the driver to take me back to school. So the driver drove. And drove. I looked at the clock anxiously. 2:58..2:59..3:00.. My panic crept up a notch as the last two people got off the bus and i rose to talk to the driver. He looked at me expectantly. Tears that kept on wellong in my eyes finally spilled. " im on the wrong bus" i said in a shaky voice " i live in P*rk****. he looked plain irritated. " ai yaaa" he shrieked " i cannot take you to parkview! To far! I have other job!" i cried harder " take me back to school, please!" my tears pushed him over the edge. " oh. Aiii" he sighed. I stumbled back to my seat, still crying fiercly. My fear would not subside. When we climbed the hill, i was hit with joy when i realized my school was a few blocks away i pulled up my bag and when the bus screeched to a stop, i ran forward. I thanked the driver and got out, relieved at last. But my relief was short-lived as i realized the gates were closed. Then i spotted the staircase. I ran down and into school, flying up the steps until i reached Vie Scolaire. When i burst imto the room i was greeted with a surprised chorus of "Mira!" they asked me what happened and i promptly burst into tears..
I made it home for all of those wondering. My experience was pretty scarring but its totally real!
Love,
Mira XXX

Hey guys! Sorry i havent been posting as often as promised, but im super busy ( or just lazy. Probably lazy) but today my furniture arrived! Now instead of moving here for real being a hazy dream, it all feels sharp and pretty permanent. My mind finally accepted the fact that I no longer belong to ACS. My house is this. My stuff belongs here. My mind knows that. But my heart hasnt gotten it yet. In the morning, when everythings fuzzy and my brain is dozing, i finally feel good. I love mornings because i can pretend that im still where I felt happy and warm. But then reality wacks my heart and my brain takes over. One day, ill get used to it. Ill start defending this new school like i defended the last.
But not today.

Easter
I don't understand Easter. How did a bunny and an egg mix together? Don't bunnies give birth to live babies? I would understand a CHICKEN hiding eggs in my backyard.. No, I don't have a yard. I have a balcony with a plate of dirt.. But anyway, how did a BUNNY end up in Easter? Does it sound better? "Easter bunny" And "Easter chicken"
Bunny sounds better.
Even so, why confuse little children! I bet they're so messed UPI! They'll be like " mommy mommy why didn't my bunny have eggs like the Easter bunny? I thought bunnies had eggs!" or " mommy why doesn't my chicken make chocolate eggs? I tried to eat one but it was yellow!"
See?!?!
Easter here is different. In Jordan, no one really.. Cared. Here they get like FIVE days or something off school or work! It's pretty strange... Next year, I'm dressing up as a chicken and hiding eggs.
It's never too late to change legend!

My dog/cat
you all know Marshmallow and Poppy, right? My dog and cat? Well, I wasn't allowed a dog OR a cat until a few years ago...
Kazakhstan:
Me: Daaaaaaaad, Mooooooooom, can i pleeeeeeeeeeeaseee have a dog?
Mom: No.
Dad: Why should we let you get a dog?
Me: Because a dog would be a constant in my life! It's not fair that I have to leave my friends, and if we get a dog, we'll take it with us! (good argument because moving a lot is something my parents are uncomfortable with because it hurts us!)
Dad: I suppose, IF we find a SUITABLE dog!
Me: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Jordan 2009:
Dad: Let's go to that kennel we found and see Poppy!
Me: OK! Did you bring the collar?
Dad: OH, i forgot! Let's drop by the house..
Me: fine..
At Home:
Me: Dad? Is that a DOG?
Dad: Yes! It's Poppy!
Me: Yaaaaay!
Mom: I ACTUALLY LIKE HER!
That's how we got POPPY!
Now, we got Marshmallow in a whole 'nother way.
Uncle: Hey, i got you guys this little white cat! It's in my room, come see it!
Me: MOOOOOOOOOM can we have him??? (clutches tiny kitty to stomach)
Mom: No.
Me: WHY?
Mom: We have a dog.
Me: Ill find a way..
10 minutes later..
Me: Hohoho uncle! Im gonna tie this ribbon around his neck, and write a note saying: Please take me home! and mom is PUTTY IN MY HANDS! hohohohohohoho
DOES THE ABOVE
Me; Mom, look!
Mom: Awww.. fine, go grab his things..
Me: WHOOO!
thats how i got Marshmallow..
I don't know how i convinced them to bring Marshmallow, but I think it went along the lines of..
" I already need to leave my friends, now i need to leave my baby?? YOU MONSTERS!'
soo thats how i got them! They're both in quarantine right now. They'll get out in august. I know, it seems cruel but i see them a lot and its a nice place... id rather have them in quarantine than back in Jordan!
Lovve,
Mira

Rain
It rained today! But its not like rain in Jordan, light and cold. Here its like pebbles And the rain is hot! The clouds block the lights out so its nighttine at 4:00! The roads get flooded and everyone stands inside malls, waiting for the rain to stop GUSHING down! I felt like a rat squeaking in HMV..:)
