Water everywhere

Doha - May 29, 2011

We are in Doha. Yesterday was our second day here. The first day was "play", "talk", "eat" and "sleep". The second day was "eat breakfast", "play" , "talk", "eat lunch", "play", "talk", "go to the sand dunes", "order dinner" and "sleep". I thought that the 2nd day was waaaay better. At the sand dunes all we did was play in the water. We played there so much that we forgot to climb the dunes! We also played until night. We saw 4-5 camels today. I could have climbed on top of them but they were so tall. And I admit I was scared. We then ordered dinner. We brought it home and ate it. What a meal!! We talked and played for some more time and then we were soon fast asleep.

Off to India today.

Disaster

May 25, 2011

From the time I came to the airport to go to Doha I had a hunch that we wouldn't be able to go because of the high severe weather. Then an announcement came on saying that we couldn't stay by the window, so my mother and I went to the bathroom. When the announcement came on again it said to go to the bathroom. Just then a whole group of girls came into the bathroom including my friends mom. It was super cramped in the bathroom.

After the announcement came on again we went out and went to our gate. We then saw that our plane was delayed to 8:30!! So we decided that we would go the next day. We got our tickets for the next day.We also got our tickets for the plane to Doha but we had to call them to make sure it was okay. We had to wait 1 hour and a half until they picked up the phone and said it was okay. We then went to the baggage claim to get back our checked-in bags. Then we called my dad and he picked us up.

What a day!!!

Almost

I don't know what to say. Everything was almost. I was almost going to India. I was really going the next day. I was almost going to have my last time at the boring YMCA. Even though I was leaving early than anybody else I didn't want to brag. Afterall I really like school. I actually wanted to trade places with somebody else and go to India another time. But I was also happy because I had a lot of problems and I wanted to escape them. I didn't know if I was ready for this. Of course it wasn't my last time but I had A LOT of friends. I also had friends in 5th grade and I REALLY didn't want to leave them. (They were going to middle scholl.) My BFF and I never wanted to seperate but I guess we had no choice. Atleast I can text her on my I-pod. We are also planning to text when I am in India. I had NO idea how I can text her with the BIG time distance. Emailing would have been easier but she didn't have one or she kept forgeting to tell me. I never bothered to ask.

I also am going to miss my dad and of course my dog (Cody). I was always attached to those two. I don't know how I will be when I am not with Cody. It feels like a test. He was sooooo cute.

Again am I ready for this?
