dolphins, jetties, caves, raptors, surf boards, sand boards, and kites....in 4 days?

So the past for days has been nuts, we had a 2 day overnight field trip with school...yes a field trip in college. So we started out with a dolphin tour which was very cool, but it rained, but still incredible. then we got to walk out on a 2 km jetty and go to to an underwater observatory and look at the fish underwater, so cool! we got to camp out with everyone and it rained and was pretty much a typhoon and yet it was the best time! everyone was wet together haha. the 2nd day we got to go into a cave that went 35 km under ground it was incredible. the formations were beautiful and some weighed up to 2 tons! after lunch on day 2 we got to go to a raptor reserve and see a feeding, very cool. The teachers that came with us were so cool, we had the best time with them. It is crazy that we get to experience all of these things at university!! so the past 2 days i have been on a surfing trip where we got to learn how to surf(in australia :) ), snorkel out to a sweet island, sleep under the stars, and go sand boarding. Sand boarding is when you climb to the top of a sand dune, not like ones on the jersey shore or something like that, but like dunes in a movie, but the sand is like snow, soo smooth and soft, and you stand on a board the size of a skateboard and u slide down, incredible. and we got to do this by moonlight! i have never seen such clear stars! this has been the craziest semester ever because it is so weird that it is an actual semester and yet you get to learn more about yourself and how many other beautiful things there are in the world. incredible is the only word to describe it.
