I had an amazing weekend this pass weekend. On Friday, I completed my CPR course, now I’m certified! On Saturday, we went on a boat to an island where we went jet skiing and banana boating. It was so much fun!! It was my first time jet skiing by myself.
We are fully moved into our new apt and we now officially have internet!!!
My new room is decorated with furniture, however, my wall theme is not done yet.
All in all, great weekend!!

Today, March 13, 2013 is the Vow Of Silence Day. I am participating because I am raising money for the Red Nose Day Charity. I am being silent for the whole day and I am getting sponsored as well. This is for a good cause, however, it is not easy to be quiet. Plus, at school, where I have to answer questions and ask questions. Luckily, the teachers respect it and don’t make people break their vows.
Speech class might be difficult though. Since the teacher is not here right now, we are just working on our speeches. The sub said people who are doing the vow cannot present today. There is no way we can break the silence. That’s good. I’m ready to present my questions to the opposing side, but I can wait till next class when I can talk.

Yesterday, I went to a CPR/First Aid course. I wanted to go to re-new my CPR license so I can get my Rescue Diver License. It was interesting. Then, around 3pm, we went to a real American Football game in Dubai!!! Football here is Soccer, so a real football game was cool! Our team won!!!!
Then, we went to dinner at a mall. This was no regular mall, it had a ski ramp in it. So while we were eating our dinner, we were watching people ski. Intense! Hopefully we can go back and ski ourselves.
Today we are going to the Ferrari Races. That will be awesome!!

Wow, so much as happened since I last wrote. I picked my classes for next year and I am taking a CPR course on the 8th and the 15th. I am doing a lot of service work for hours and I am having fun! My parents and I spent this past weekend at a sand castle. It is called Qasr Al Sarab. It is 3 hours away from town and in the middle of the desert. It was so relaxing and so beautiful. My dad and I went on a sunrise camel ride on Saturday and we even stopped for coffee and croissants. It was awesome!! We spent a lot of time by the pool and I even saw some people I knew from school. I met some nice people and sadly, got a LOT of sun!! Oh well, it was fun!!!
We had Career Day on Thursday and the students all went to different rooms to learn about careers we might like to pursue. I went to acting ones. It was interesting.
Tonight, March 4, my parents and I are going to a show about Abu Dhabi and the culture and history. Should be cool.
