Recently, our school spent my year level to Canberra, the capital of Australia. Many believe that Australia is a rural place, I find it hard to comprehend why other would believe Australia is a rural place. After visiting the capital, I understood very well, why others believe Australia is a bush. In Canberra, the trees outnumber the population.
Prior to visiting Canberra, I believed it was a city similar to Melbourne, Sydney or even the Gold Coast, to be honestly I thought it would look a bit like New York. When I got there I was shocked, the trees clearly outnumbered the population. I thought in the CBD of Canberra, we would find some flashing neon signs or something remotely interesting.
I must admit I enjoyed the serenity of Canberra but seriously, Canberra needs to be updated. The bus driver told warned us to wake up early to avoid peak hour traffic. Dude, seriously, the cars parked outside our school cause more traffic compared to the cars in Canberra.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy spending endless hours outdoor but Canberra just isn't my place. I'm just a bit shocked, it's the capital of our country and it looks like small town in the country.
Spending too much time with somebody can cause a bit of tension.
I had to spend a total of four days with my five friends in the same cabin so there were six of us sharing that one bathroom and toilet, one kitchen, two bedrooms which contained 2 bunk beds and 1 double bed. Tensions started to araise on day two camp. My two friends and I, were a bit uncomfortable with one girl's attitude to our friends, to be more accurate our guy friends.
I was not upset over how she was getting very close to my closet male friend but I was a bit uneased. She was getting very close to him, she kept denying and in a way I felt I was losing a good friend. However, the actual melting point for me was when she commented that she doesn't tell me because she's scared that it might hurt me because I liked him. Seriously, I never liked him from the start and what drove me mad is she KNOWS who I like. One of my other friend felt exactly the same and she agreed with the words I said. Honestly, looking back on the tensions, it was very silly of I to voice my frustations. I believed one of my friend would help me load my gun failed to complete her duties as I prepared for combat. I was clearly screwed over.
The one thing that Canberra has taught me in terms of friendship is trust nobody. If they don't screw you over today then they'll tomorrow. We all live in a dog eat dog world and the world of friendship is no different. Sometimes our true best friend is our music devices, music shall always remain faithful to us.
