Today one of my dreams has just been shattered.
I am meant to be reading as after the whole three weeks I
have had off I have read about one page of one book. Slightly pooing myself as
assignments are starting to get thrown at us and the seminar I have tomorrow
only has a number of seven students (this is the only thing I agree with Mitt
Romney with, class sizes shouldn’t be that small!! I can’t even hide the fact I
haven’t read the book and there is no chance it will be finished for tomorrow
at 9am).
I just had to bring a taste of America to my blog, by taste
I mean, I am now going to shove in your face all about my trip to Florida.
Although everything was amazing, there were two very key events of the holiday
that will just be imprinted in my memory forever.
Swimming with dolphins. Like come on! Who wouldn’t want to
swim with dolphins! I know I had said to my mum days before I wasn’t that
bothered but as soon as I knew we was actually doing it I was instantly
excited. Not to mention the excitement I felt just before I got into the water
with them and let me tell you that it wasn’t just because I was stupidly hot in
the body suit I was wearing (that I really didn’t want to take off, one of the
most ugliest things I have fallen in love with), the freezing water cooled me
down almost instantly. I actually got the privilege to kiss the salty lips of
Roxy the dolphin. I just couldn’t turn down Roxy.
The second thing, I just can’t describe how inspired I am by
it! When our mini agenda for the day was planned out I wasn’t that bothered
about seeing some killer whales doing tricks, it was more about the dolphins.
But oh my god! The Shamu show was incredible. There really is no words I can
use to explain just how in awe I am of the Shamu clam and the trainers. We sat
in the splash zone and it is not a splash zone it is a hell of a lot more than
that! We was all soaking wet! But that is the beauty of it. Okay I admit the
salt water getting thrown at us wasn’t amazing but the vibe, let me say no
more.
When we came to deciding what we wanted to do/see again I made
it clear that I wanted to see the Shamu show again. But this time we sat where
we was able to take pictures, yes it was still good but I didn’t get the same
feel as I did when I sat in the splash zone. I am not an emotional person but the
show brought tears to my eyes. For anyone that knows me well you will get how
good it actually was! I’m not a crier.
So here is why I am totally and utterly heartbroken. I want
to be a whale trainer.
Yes laugh all you want but I want a career that I can inspire
people. So my plan was if teaching doesn’t work out for me I’ll just go to
SeaWorld and be a whale trainer in the Shaum show. Well I thought wrong!! You have
to have like a degree in marine biology! Like what!!! Me biology! Be able to
dive (I’m more of a belly flop kind of girl) and swim really fast. Im currently
in bed stuffing face with chocolate to hide the fact that I could have been a
really good whale trainer if they would have given me an easier way to be one. I
was really good at training my dog to do tricks, I never ever got mad at her or
anything (had to have a little sarcasm in there)!
But don’t worry guys, if this whole English thing doesn’t work
out I will just have to get myself a degree in marine biology!
Just like to say a massive thank you to my mumsie who took
us to Florida.
Dreams really do come true!
