There's only like 40-somethin' days left of school! At least, for my school...
BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH.

I mean, I heard about it a couple days ago, but it kinda didn't register until now. All I focus on at school is work, so I don't really listen to what my friends say. I listen to them...but it don't. You get what I'm saying, right?
... I'm not a very good person.
But WHATEVER!

When I was on vacation, I was really inspired by the culture I saw. I was on a cruise ship and visited Haiti, Jamaica and Cozumel. Haiti was my favourite by far. The mountains were so beautiful. I thought I'd only be able to see those mountains in pictures. Some of them even touched the clouds! It was absolutely beautiful.

We got to hike the mountain and visit a—very small— settlement in the hills

Right by it was were they did all their art related activities. In my mind I was like
'Let's go there... Let's go there now. I really wanna go know.'
I was kinda desperate, but I kindly waited until the guide told us we could go down there.
They were making sculptures, necklaces and portraits. I was so fascinated by how they used acrylics. I had my eye set on one in particular. My mom noticed and offered to buy it for me.
'Free souvenir and Haiti painting? GIMMI GIMMI!'
It's so mesmerising. I'll take a picture and show you.

After we went down to their beach to swim

After we went down to their beach to swim. I was swimming a lot. The water just looked so non-polluted. An escape from the disgusting brown water I normally see. We swam from the water from the ocean, and from the mountain. The water coming down from the mountain was so fresh and clean that I had no idea if it was saltwater or freshwater. I didn't try to taste it... I wish i did. Anyway, I was looking for seashells and found this!

   I think I might paint it. You know, put my memories of Haiti into one collage and paint them on the seashell. I thought that would be a fun activity.
I loved to look at them dance. It was so... Different. I don't mean it to sound bad! I wish I could dance that way. I was so inspired that I drew a picture. I finished it yesterday. Don't worry, this is gonna be my last picture, and my last entry for this chapter! I hope you enjoyed my small rant. Bye!

 Bye!
