The first day at Wambana is interesting, we found out the environmental life style that we have to use to for the next 18days. Then we found out our wardli, Holly, Bella, Nehna, Claudia, Lettia and I are in a Wardli and Nehna and I in a same room. Then we get together as a group and write down our goals for the next three weeks and our rules in our Wardli. We had our chill out time on a spot by ourself and my spot is number 16, it is quite far away from where other is, it get cold as the time past. Dinner time we had pasties. Then we go back to our Wardli and we organized the roster for the washing dishes.

Third day
We went to the museums today it's new experience to see thing that we haven't seen before. It's a interesting way of learning things because if we do all our works on laptop would be boring. We went to the op.shop and each of us bought a stuff, we chose a dress for Kim to wear.This is the first day I'm cooking for my Wardli and I think the fried rice didn't went as good as what I think it can be, the rice cooker doesn't cook properly so I pulled it out and put onto another pot to cook. At the end it was alright and after dinner we cleaned up as a group it is much better then the first day.

First week Tomorrow will be first week we've spent at Realise Camp, today we went to snorkeling it is cold and it's also my first experience as well. Georgia and I are partner in water, she always wait for me to catch up with her. Though it's cold but it is a good experience to see the sea animals under water, I saw a star fish which is orange colour. Georgia and I are also the leader for today. It's a fun experience when you do things for others.

second week monday Today we had the bake off Holly, Letitia, Nehna, Claudia and I made a brownie and with brown sugar down the bottom which had made the brown sugar look like the sand on the beach. The other wardli had made great cake as well, we also have to make a story for it. After the bake off we have to present our cake, Holly's brownie are the best brownie that I taste. It is a fun experience to have a bake off day and taste all the other cake as well.

This is the last week of realise, at beginning of the realise we all think this is going to be so long which going to be for us like 5weeks but until now we all felt it's actually not so long it been past so quickly. Last few days we have been doing some snorkeling and tree planting we also design the mosaic. Last night is pizza night we had lots of fun, and also it is windy outside so the pizza night made all of us felt warm. Today we are going to have class session and if the weather is good we going to plant trees and keep working on our mosaic. Tomorrow we will have our sleep in which we all love, because everyday we have to wake up early and doing exercise though its fun but we get tired after a whole day full of activities. This is my last chance to blog, after all three weeks I felt a bit sad about leaving Wambana tomorrow. The first day seems forever and I thought it going to be like month and month, but now I really hope I can go back to the first day. 24 girls have known each other all a bit more and in this realise we all do care about each other. I learned about everyone's personality, Chloe Sawtell who I usually don't talk to but now I know how nice she is and she care about people around her. With my friends around me make everything better like Georgia (Wendy) who I now learned much more about her, funny (actually bad) jokes that she tell but Claudia and I always love to talk to her and we are always the people who can talk forever and ever. Everyone in this realise I have notice how important is each person mean to you when you alone by yourself in a camp like this. This is the best time I ever had, this is a memory that will never be wiped out from my heart, I will remember all the 19 days the help from people and all the time that we had spent together.
