Heh I got to page five of the math packet.
Anyway!! There was a forest fire that was travelling quickly through Croatia. Some people slept in buses because their hotels or houses were aflame! The fire was coming quickly to our hotel, so we had to leave a day or two early.
I love Croatia. It's a place I actually fit in to. I come from a Mediterranean descent, so my skin is oliveish and dark in the sun, and my hair is as well.
And since I learned to say a few things in Croatian, people didn't think I was from the Uk. Oh! And I managed to ditch this boring tour-guide!!
He spent like fifteen minutes droning on about nuns shackled to their beds, so I decided to run. He turned his back, and I sprinted into the nearest jewerly shop and ran through the Old Town streets until I was clear of the creepy tour guide and Americans tourists.
The bus was smelly, but I kind of like it. Croatia was like paradise, I got really tan there, and I swam for the whole time practically.
I went snorkeling, but I had to get out of the ocean a little early otherwise since I don't weigh that much I'd get smashed against a rock.
The ocean was turquoise and beautiful in the shallow parts, but the coral and seaweed and underwater plants made it colourful and mysterious as you got deeper.
The sun, when I laid out for tanning, was like millions of little needles pricking into my skin, and when I got up and went to my room to get my drawing notebook, I was dark, a rustic sort of bronze tan.
And my hair got kind of lighter, too!! surprised
I like darker hair, though.
I learned my stepmum's an idiot!! I already knew that, but I explored it further, delving deeper and deeper into several levels of idiocy.
And the money, the kunas, I still have a lot left over. sweatdrop
I have slight tan lines from my bikini, though...Like, I didn't realise how pale I was until I looked at the tan lines!! It looked so pale and white!!
I still can't get over the fire. The birds were going insane, squawking and flying over Old Town like crazed madpeople... I, for one, noticed the birds and went to see what they were yelling at. Their home was being burnt to the ground!!
I almost began crying, it was so sad. All of the creatures living in the forest were burned to death!! It was horrible.
And then I began pretending I was French for reasons unknown, and whenever I passed by someone and they asked me something in English I would stare blankly, and go, 'Qua?' and they'd be like 'Oh' and I'd skip off.
Dun ask!!! I'm cool that way.
I be goin' somewhere else tomorrow!! Oh, joy, another week of basking in the sun. My skin still sparkles from the sunblock. It's this new sunblock from Sweden or somewhere that you can only get in special places, spf 17. It makes you sparkle and shimmer. ^_^
Oh & I thought I saw kids from my school, but they ended up not being from my school and I began playing with them, soon forming a random game of Marco Polo.... I bumped into several old ladies and one old man who was American who looked like Santa Claus on vacation, and his bloomers kept changing colours!!
And then we played Sharks and Minnows and I was the shark and I caught everyone 'cause I'm cool that way. If you were there, Willy, we'd have SOOO shown them who's boss!!! mrgreen 3nodding xd
