Time Flies - Summer Blog Post 1

So I sit here thinking, what a boring summer I've had. Firstly I have travelled over 34 hours this summer, including car trips from the airport to accommodation and of course flights. I'm sitting here, still exhausted and fatigued, while school begins just around the corner, pleasantly greeting me with my final year of IB. Oh how wonderful!

On a serious note, there were some positives to my summer which included staying in Mauritius and exploring the island. The hospitality on offer by the people we met exceeded my expectations and I was shocked at the copious amounts of people that spoke fluent French. I then forgot that Mauritius was a french colony alongside its neighboring island yet every day it surprised me. That one week  I spent there felt  very long, but I was enjoying myself so I guess time doesn't a fly when you are having fun!

Interestingly enough news scandals such as continued terror attacks in France and the Oscar Pistorius case had continued throughout the summer which didn't come as a shock toward me. During my trip to South Africa I felt very strongly about the Oscar Pistorius case of which was going in his decision until he walked on his limp legs in court as a pity plea which seemed to enrage me. Eventually however he was thrown into jail as lawful justice yet his jail sentence had decreased massively.

Another year at Raha, Another year in Abu Dhabi. My last and final year begins and presents numerous amounts of obstacles and challenges that I must overcome to finish the final stint of my schooling years. 

Here's hoping all goes well.






EDIT :Next Blog Post will be my first day back
