Class in the jungle + we go to the movies!!

Yesterday morning we had a different morning. Instead of going to Polk State College we went to Circle B Natural Reserve, a nature discovering center pretty close to the campus. We did different activities there in order to learn more about the wildlife in Florida. We went "fishing", we walked across different trails and we saw all kind of trees, insects and even some alligator in the distance!!!! It was something different and we liked it, specially for having a day outside our classroom. 

After the morning activity we had lunch at McDonald's and we stayed there for a while because it was raining a lot and we wanted some time to chill. The worst part was that we were supposed to go to Legoland Park because we got tickets for free but as everything there is outdoors and it was shower raining we decided not to go because we would have seen everything under an umbrella... Pretty sad because we were excited about it, but we had a back up plan... Going to the movies!!!! Our choice was the brand new film of the Apes saga, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. At first it was a bit slow but then it got more interesting and the action came so we all enjoyed it.

Despite the raining and not going to Legoland it was an awesome day!!! And tomorrow, Disney World!!!! WE CAN'T WAIT!!!

Ice Skating

On Tuesday we went to the campus as usual to have class. It was cool because we played some games and we learned new vocabulary which will be useful for us in the future. As every day, we kept doing our Table Tennis Championship during the break time and we had so much fun. We play short games (up to 5 points) so it's very fast and everyone can play several times.


After class we had lunch in a super awesome restaurant. It was called Golden Corral and it was a buffet where we could eat EVERYTHING!!! From pasta to fried chicken as well as salad, Mexican food or the part we loved the most: the dessert!!! They had ice-cream with awesome toppings (Oreos, candies, M&M's...), amazing and yummy cakes and our favorite: a chocolate waterfall!!! And it was AWESOME!!

 
Later, as our afternoon activity we went ice skating!!!! Where?? Well, to that big ice rink in downtown Lakeland, called The Lakeland Center. We had a lot of fun in there, doing races, pirouettes or simply skating... We didn't fall that much which means that we're pretty good at it.

At 4pm we left the ice rink and we went back to our campus to meet the families. It was an awesome day because we ate a lot and because we had so much fun!!!
