Sometimes, i have these huge raging hissy fits abput moving. No matter how much of a seasoned traveller/mover you are, moving sucks. When i was a kid, moving was EASY. i missed my friends, but i always had Barney! Now, friends are really important! Leaving my friends at my age is really hard.
It sucks. Moving. No exceptions

Ocean Park
So on Wednesday, the WHOLE secondary ( posh way of saying middle and high school) went on a field trip to Ocean Park, the local amusement park. When we got to school, we were expecting the trip to be cancelled because of the rain. After our first class, we rushed to the roof to find out if the trip was cancelled.
It wasn't cancelled ( victory dance) and we trooped onto the buses. I sat in the back with Kiki, Clova, and Neha. After a couple of minutes, we reached Ocean Park. After doing a head count, we ran off into Ocean Park.
We crossed over in the Ocean Express and queued up for The Flash:
But, alas, it began to rain. BUT, the ride continued after a little delay. IT WAS AWESOME, just as a side note. We went on a couple other rides, and then it began to rain. Really, really hard. So we all started dancing in the rain. Later on, me and Kiki ballet danced in the rain as well. At about 2:00, me and Clove broke off from Kiki and Neha ( they wanted to ride the merry go round) So we threw off our bags under a tent, and jumped into the rain. Clova suddenly dropped down on her knees. When I asked what in the world she was doing, she told me she was being a turtle, which disturbed me very much. I pretended to be a fountain. It was awesome! Then we tromped onto the bus, dripping wet and finally, I was smiling.

Summer
Ahh, summer! Don't you love the heat? The feeling you get when youre super hot but then a gentle breeze rolls on by? Or when you step into an air conditioned room/mall/prison... Its awesome. Like a hot dog! And the ICE CREAM! man, the ice cream! Sooo good! All creamy and delish. Actually, i prefer Jordanian weather! Thats kinda the ONLY thing i miss about Jordan as a whole. Its hot in summer, but its dry so you dont get oily and nasty...

Rule
Heres a rule thats super important for when you move:
Wash your hair on the first day of school.
Just Kidding!
Don't be afraid of seeming too desperate to make friends.
Well.
Don't be SCARY clingy! But don't be afraid to walk into a group of people. Just talk to the people that SMILE at you when you come near! I kind of regret not pushing myself in more! I really HATED school for a while... I still kinda feel outside... You know, like the doors closed and im looking through a peephole..

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
