Day Seven: Just for Fun, Change

            We left from Sydney to Cairnis by a short plane ride that was surprising really quick and quiet fun due to the obnoxious amount of turbulence that had me giggling the entire time. I guess I’m just weird like that.  After we left the plain we checked into this rather fancy hotel, when we saw our room we all nearly died. I was so big and beautiful. We were ecstatic and all flew into the beds, it was the best hotel room we have gotten. We had huge smiles on coming out of the hotel room, completely excited for warm weather and water! We walked past this glorious view of mud swamp beaches, which don’t seem that appealing but it was rather lovely, then again, what isn’t in Australia.

            

We walked to a man made beach where Amanda and I laid out in the sun talking and laughing. It felt good to finally to relax and enjoy sunlight. Lexa and me walked around the small layers of sand, both loving the feeling of the sand sinking between our toes. She showed a couple of her mad ninja skills with marvelous flips and twirls, which only showed how relaxed we all were. We all felt like we could take on the world. Later that day the teachers let us all roamed around the town and find dinner. This day was pure freedom, we ate at some adorable little restaurant that had really creepy shrimp, and we were all dancing through the board walk letting our hearts speak louder than our heads. That day was fun and very vacation like; the busyness of the last few days was finally rewarded with this amazing openness.

            

I do feel like I’ve changed a bit throughout this trip. This glorious situation we were all changed in someway, for better or for worse, we have changed. Every moment seems to somehow fall in place and for once I got the chance to see through all the fog and walls I made around myself.  I also got to live in the moment, to not worry what that moment would become, not wonder how long until it fades into a shallow memory, I just didn’t care, I wanted to breath it all in and there where defiantly incidents that I got to lose myself in a world so unquestioned by my anxious mind.  I also let myself drift out of my comfort zone into a slightly embarrassing but overall fun experience. I really hope above everything that when I head home that I wont ever forget what I’ve found and lost here.
