Horrible Florida Vacation


Now I am writing down a true story that I won't forget in my life forever. Before the end of the winter break, my classmates and I decided to evade the frozen weather in New York and enjoy the sunshine in Miami and Key West. There are ten people in this group.
We spreed in the Miama clubbing, drunk countless beers in the Key West beach, and really had a great time. All of us felt complete. On the last day of the vacation, we decided to spend our last time on Miami beach and then came back to New York. We didn't know we almost couldn't come back to NYC forever.
The ocean in sea shore is so shallow that we lost the vigilance. We splashed and swam in the ocean but all of our feet could stand on the land. And then one of our classmates called us to the next ocean since the waves there were bigger than those where we were. We swam there without any hesitation and let our guard down. Suddently I found my feet couldn't touch the land and the same as my classmates. In the meanwhile I heard the whistling from the beach. I knew something wrong from my instinct; however, it was too late. We were very far away from the beach. No matter how we did our best to swim ahead to the beach, we stood on the same place. I started to be chaotic and twirly and to think I was probably going to die since I didn't have any more energy. I didn't remember how long I struggled to swim and actually I lost memory in this period of time until I saw the lifeguards. I wasn't unconscious but I terrified out of my wits so that I lost my memory. I wanted to tell them my classmates behind me but I couldn't say any word. Five lifeguards saved us and the hydro-motorbike also joined this salvage. While we arrived on the beach, a ambulance was already waiting for us. Six of us all turned green and thought we would die in that time. The other three classmates didn't feel dangerously since they couldn't swim so they stood near the beach. WE expressed our best heartfelt thanks to these lifeguards. Thanks God.
The lifeguard showed us the current of the location where we stood before were ahead to the beach but later we swam to the current which pushed us outside. That was the reason we were far away from the shore and felt difficulty to swim back. We really learned a precious course from the accident even it seemed a little bit late. I feel good to tell my friends this story.
Today we told the story to our professor of writing class. She said "The class is almost canceled since most students are in her class." She is a person with a strong sense of humor and that's the reason we choose her class.

Hello




I just want to say hello to my professor and classmates in my writing class. The vacation is quickly coming to an end and the new semester is coming by so fast. Did you have any new experience or anything that we can share. I love hearing what you say about your winter break. My winter break in NYC is wonderful and I make a lot of new friends since many friends of my classmates came to New York to celebrate Happy New Year. I feel constrained to say again Manhattan is the most magic city in the world since it seems that everyone wants to visit New York in the winter vacation. The street crowded tourists and all people were shopping. No matter where you go, you can't evade from people even you can't move in Time Square, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue. I hope this blog finds you well and all of you are doing well. Happy New Year everybody.
