The moment we stepped outside it felt like a blowdryer. The temperature at the time was around 45 degrees Celsius. Arizona reminded me of the wild west from those cowboy movies, Although we were in the heart of the city, there was nearly no grass that could be seen. Where grass would be in Canada, there were rocks in Arizona. We decided to take the sky train over to the parking lot where we would rent our car. While we were finding the car that we rented; I felt like I was going to die from the heat. And to make matters worse, the car we rented was a ford, and the dashboard was extremely confusing for my mom; who said it was like a space ship. Along the drive to our hotel, we could see cacti sitting all across the sandy hills which streched on for what seemed like miles. After some time we eventually got to our hotel, which had an old desert architecture look to it. The architecture was beautiful, The buildings were very square, and the windows had distinct arch shapes to them. There were tall palm trees standing all around the resort. Later during the day, my friend came over to see me. At first we went to the pool and chilled out a little bit. After this we went inside an played some games. I had my slides resting on the side of the pool; and I genuinely expected the heat to melt them, but to my relief they didn’t. It was around 6:00 or later from what I remember. When we went inside we had some of the pizza from the hotel, which was delicious. The first day was pretty fun overall; besides the travelling. The thing about the heat in Arizona is the fact that you don’t need to use a clothes dryer and you can just hang your clothes out in the heat and they will dry in an hour or less.

my introduction awawaawa
My name is Sydney and I have ADHD, I was born here, in Victoria and I am a returning student to Brookes Westshore. I have been going to Brookes Westshore since last year. Currently, I am 14 years old and I will be turning 15 in October. I have 2 cats at home; who are both abyssinian, and I have had them for almost as long as I have been alive. My parents got them when I was 6 months old.
At home; I enjoy playing video games, mainly racing games. And I use a wheel with pedals. My favourite games are Iracing & Beamng Drive. Recently I built a scale replica of a car cockpit out of wood, which I play racing games with. It is completed; but I made a few changes recently, and I am going to add an adjustable seat to it. I also have plans to build a cabinet as well, as I want to improve my woodworking skills. At home; sometimes I will go on walks. Sometimes during the day I will go up and walk along the E&N railway; which is an abandoned railway that is connected to my neighborhood. It goes on for 289 Kilometers; but I have only walked around 5 Kilometers.
I enjoy music in general, one of the things I do is create music; which I have been doing for 4 years. The programs I have been using have not been the best; but recently I bought FL studio, which is the best music software that you can buy. Although it was very expensive, it was worth it as the quality the music I produce is now better. I also enjoy art. Personally I do not practice art very much at home. but for some reason I am good at it. My mom’s side of the family is very good with art, so it is probably a genetics thing. I enjoy drawing with graphite whenever I do artwork, but sometimes I will do painting. My painting skill is nowhere near as good as my skill with graphite though. I am terrible at drawing any body related artwork; and I could only do it with a photograph. Usually whenever I draw I usually have a photo nearby, because I find it difficult to draw stuff from my imagination.
Overall; that is my introduction. And I hope that this year at Brookes Westshore is very interesting; and better than last year.
