This is only the second
week I have been in Sidney, but I feel
it like home. The subway, the difficulties with the new city, the language, the
new school and the new classmates don’t terrify me like a week ago. In addition, the family
is so friendly and in these days I’ve
started to get more familiar with their daily life. I really like living
here because in the morning things are so different from Moscow, because of the
school and the new activities I do, (and I love new experiences) and in the
afternoon I love watch Jennifer helping Mark with homework stay with Amber!!
I'm so happy with this new friendship. The first half of the week has been perfect,
except for Friday, which was a totally disastrous day!! At school I've met many
classmates and they are really friendly
with me, except for one girl. Her name is Greta and she is the captain of the
cheerleader team of the school. She is one of the most popular and beautiful
girl in the school and obviously she is a close friend of James’, the guy of my
dreams!! Greta doesn't to want be only a friend to him...she
wants more! Like me she wants to be her girlfriend and for this reason she does everything to discredit me. Friday morning was terrible
because she made fun of me all the time and James was there, too !
When I got back home I
was quite sad and a bit nervous! I sat to the sofa and I watched the television
all afternoon!! Even when Mark arrived (he wanted to to play with his new
play station) I didn’t let him use the
TV and so he ran off crying!!
After dinner I
apologised with him for my behavior, but
he sulked until the following day.
Christopher and Jennifer saw that I was a bit sad because of my argument with
Mark and they also saw that something at school had happened ;
for this reason they decided to take me to around the city at the week
end and to show me some of the major
tourist spots.
First of all we went to
the Opera House. It was fantastic and I took a lot of photos. Then we went to
Darling Harbour; it is a nice neighborhood full of shops and nice restaurants.
After a lot of shopping and a substantial lunch, we visited the Sidney Aquarium and the Sidney
Zoo, with fish and animals from all over the world.
On the way back home we went
to Port Jackson, the largest harbour in the world and finally to Bondi Beach,
where people surf all year round. There I saw something unforgettable: James was surfing and when he came
ashore, he waved me helllo. I'll never
forget this!! The most poupular boy of the school greeted me, the "beetroot"!! That's
incredible!! I definitely love Australia:)
