Hey guys, I know this isn't my day, and I know that I haven't been on here for what feels like years, but everything in my life got very hectic since I was last here.
After all my exams were finished, I had a few family issues that took up a lot of my time.
And for the last 2 weeks, I've started work. Its light industry work but it pays well and hopefully will give me enough money for uni in september.
Apart from that not a lot has happened thats note worthy, just a lot of small stuff coming over and over like waves.
But its starting to calm down now and I'll try to post at least once a week even if its not on my day.
Sorry again guys, hope you are all good.

You can tell its summer
Yeah, todays not my day but I know I wont remember come tuseday that its tuseday.
So how have you all been? How's life? I want to know!
Nothing realy happened to me this summer other then my brother won free tickets to hershey park (the place that sells/makes hershey products) so im going there soon and that during this HUGE town thing where people come from all over to see i got to help out with.
In my town we have this huge fourth of july thing where they close down the park and everything. We have this thing called the queen of candles, its kinda like homecoming but its during the summer. After the Queen lights her candle she lights the next person that was in the running and so on and so forth. Then the boy scouts come and light some candles. Well this candle display is huge, when i get the photos on here i'll show you. We have a small stream going threw the park and its covered in candles. Here's where me and my friends come in, at the head of the stream theres this small area where they have wodden swans and this huge candle. They needed a few people to help out so they grabbed my friends, i walked by and asked my friends if i could light a candle. Soon the guy came by and said i couldnt. Not but 5 minutes later did he say that he needed some one to light a swan. So i threw off my shoes and jumped into the freazing cold water to go light some candles on a swan. (the water came up to my knees so i wasnt realy wet.) Now i can say i got to be a part of history.
O! I also went white water rafting with my girl scout troop. I fell out but the rest of the group i was with rafts flipped. At least i had 3 people there to pull me back in. I will edit this more another time and make it more epic.
Thats all my summers been like so far. You all should get on here and tell me and the rest of us about your summer.
Hope your all ok, Samantha.

HEEERE'S JOHNNY!
Sorry for the title. I recently watched The Shining for the first time. If you haven't seen it, then go watch it. So Europe was totally awesome, but I'll make a separate post for that. What matters is that I have toned legs from miles upon miles of walking and internet connection once more.
How is everyone? It feels like forever since I've last heard from y'all. The only exciting things I did today was spend five hours laying in a pool sunbathing with one friend and watched both Princess Diaries movies back to back with another friend. Those are great movies to watch too, by the way.
Also, I do have news-that-could-potentially-be-exciting, but I won't announce it yet just in case. If everything goes as planned, you will be the first to know!
ALSO...I have recently acquired a tumblr account! Yay! If you want to look at it, my username is justaddrainbowsprinkles. It's full of semi funny but mostly stupid things that give you a cheap laugh. And let me know if any of you lovelies have tumblrs so I can follow them!
Anyways, it's an hour til midnight here, so I really need to go to bed...pfft yeah right. I'm off to explore the deep depths of the internet, baby.
Lots of Love,
~Emily

I'm Still Here
Sorry for no post last week. I had finals to study for. I'm not sure how I did on any of them, but I don't care. I'm done with school for three months.
I have until Monday before I leave for Europe. I'm a little nervous, but overall, I don't feel very excited yet. It's kind of surreal, going across the ocean for two weeks. It's kind of late right now, but I'll post later to get into details.
Hope you all are well.
Lots of Love,

I am so sorry
I am so sorry guys. The week before last, I was really ill on the Wednesday and last Wednesday I burnt myself out with revision and just crashed.
Not a lots been going on in my life. I've been dieing to do another Vlog but I know I would feel really guilty as I was doing it that I wasn't working on exam stuff.
I've made a long list of stuff to do in the summer though as I'll have a long one this year. Hopefully I'll be able to meet some nerdfighters I found through Yourpants and Facebook in my area, which is wonderful as I thought I was alone.
Its a year today that me and my boyfriend got together. Because he had an exam today, we're going out saturday to celebrate. We're going to a local Chinese buffet resturant. I love that place so it should be great.
Not a lot else is going on so I'm going to leave it here.
Hope you are all ok.

I hope you all fo fantastic on your exams and I'll talk to you all later

Y'all aren't the only ones with exams!
So I didn't manage to make a blog post last week. Sorry. Still busy. But it was all worth it. I have one full week and two days left of school, so I'll only be sporadic for a while longer. Anyways, last week was interesting, though.
For French, my class had to go to the local college (university for you fancy-pants Scottish/English people). All the other upper level foreign language kids went as well so we could take a placement exam and see what college class we get placed into.
The test was hard as hell. I mean, they were asking us to explain french proverbs IN FRENCH. I don't even understand English ones! Either way, I got a decent score, a 452. That means I would be placed in a 201 class, which is equivalent to a French 4 or 5 class in high school. I was proud, because most people bombed it.
But that wasn't the fun part. Afterwards, we all went to this big stretch of restaurants and ate lunch. I was in a group of six, and we had the most amazingly huge and delicious lunch that lasted two hours. We were that loud annoying table that everyone hates. Guys, it was so fun. We were really full afterwards, which makes sense considering we had two appetizers, a huge main course, and a big ass dessert.
The weekend consisted of hanging out with friends who I haven't hung out with in a long time. I went bowling, too. But I want to talk about my violin lesson today.
Proceed to random story.
So I had a makeup lesson today as opposed to my usual Friday lesson. I walked into the small room I play in and came across a small girl no older than 11. My teacher introduced her as her daughter. She was going to be staying in there with us since she was sick that day. Sure, I smiled on the outside, but I was frantic on the inside. I didn't want this girl to hear me play. I'm not good yet.
But alas, I warmed up and she was still there. As if God had heard my biggest fear and decided it would be funny to piss Emily off, I sucked. Like, more than usual. I sucked even harder even after the initial shock of playing in front of someone new. I was fuming. I wasn't sure if I wanted to cry from humiliation, punch a hole in the wall, or slam my violin on the ground for not doing what I wanted.
I explained this to my mom, but she was no help at all. Luckily, I cooled down and was able to be happy again after some much needed yoga. I just reminded myself that I have another lesson tomorrow, so I can redeem myself. After some thinking, I came to a realization:
I played in front of someone new without fear.
Sure, it was mildly uncomfortable at first, but it wasn't scary like I thought! Now I know that I CAN play for people, even if it just means working up to it little by little. I'm kind of excited about that. Yay.
But now onto exams. Oh, how I despise them. Here in America, we call them finals (or final exams). In my school district, this is how it works: The finals spread out across 2 days. Day 1 are your finals for your first two classes during the 1st half of the day. Day 2 is a half day (and the last day of school) where you have finals for your last two classes.
I am most concerned for my Anatomy final, which consists of two finals. The first one is the fetal pig dissection. Currently, we are dissecting it, but for our final we'll identify certain structures. The other final is the written one. Next week will be dedicated to studying for that.
And last, but certainly not least, I am going to Spain, France, and London in 18 days! I'll bring back lots of pictures from that. But fair warning: I won't post for those days I'm gone, so don't think I'm dead!
Sorry for the long post. I had a lot to get off my chest. But I feel your pain with the finals, you guys. But I have seven and a half days left of school; I can do it, dammit, and so can you!
Lots of Love,
