It's a funny feeling to come home from holiday. Everyone is affected in a different way. Some can't sleep. Others throw themselves into all the work they didn't do.
Although I should probably be the latter, I'm not.
I keep speaking American. All those phrases I thought were strange four weeks ago have suddenly appeared in my vocabulary. To the amusement (and sometimes annoyance) of my friends, the words soda and candy have become common language for me.
It seems my vacation has had a lasting effect on me - not that I'm suprised. It would be hard for me to forget considering the amount that occured. But now I'm home and having to re-adapt to the life of an English teen. There's rain, homework, chores, more rain. And before I make a start on that essay, I just want to say thank you to everyone who made misadventures what they were.
Until next time

Not many things can leave me speechless. I am well known for my ability to talk. And talk. And talk (you get the idea).
So you can imagine my grandparents suprise when I found myself incapable of muttering anything other than 'wow, just wow'.
Why? What phenomenon broke a lifelong habit? Well, for the first time ever, I took a ride in a helicopter. I hadn't thought I would ever go in one until it was suggested to me. I wasn't really sure if I would enjoy it but I figured I might as well try it while I have the opportunity and I am sooo glad I did. I quickly grew more and more excited as the day drew closer; the end result being an extremely hyped up fifteen year old who could not sit still.
Orlando Helitours offers five tours of differing lengths (and prices). Our tour was roughly 20 miles and allowed us to see Downtown Disney, Epcot and Blizzard Beach, to name but a few.
As for what I saw up there, my only response is still wow, just wow. It's hard to desribe something I still can't comprehend. Sure, I've flown before but I've never been able to see what's beneath me. When everything looks so small, you remember how big the world is and how much of it is left unexplored. Life gives us opportunities to experience these things for a reason. So if you get the chance, take the ride. Maybe you'll be speechless too.
