What a slut time is, she screws everybody.

Time for an update!
Okay, so this afternoon (June 22) I have the speaking part of my Cambridge Exam. And after that, I'll be done! With the exam, I mean. The only thing left to do after that is wait for the results. Oh July 24, please come quick.

In a few days my last exam week of the year will start. In 5 days to be exact. I'll have to make 6 tests, and 4 oral exams (German, French, English and history). And I'm already stressing out. Crap.
And the days before my first test are going to be pretty busy too. For French and German I have to write 2 letters (for a grade), I still have to make a French test and a math test. So thats 6 tests in 3 days. Oh wait, I forgot my reading exam for German. That makes 7. Well, isn't that just great? But I'll have to get good grades in order to pass this year. Senior year seems like so much fun, even though you have even more work to do than I already have now. But it seems worth it.

May the odds be ever in my favor...

And on top of all the work I have to do and the exam stress, I have a graduation party and two birthday parties tonight. WHERE WILL I FIND THE TIME?!

PS: I just felt like sharing a gif. of a rabbit devouring lettuce with you. (:

CAE Exam

 
Well hello there. Long time no see. Let me update you guys a bit. So last week was pretty stressful. Last Tuesday was the written part of the Cambridge Advanced English Exam. We had to be there super early, and it lasted the entire day. Of course there were short breaks in between the different parts of the exam, but still. And it was very hard. I hope I will pass (:

But before I know, I'll have to wait until July 24. Ridiculous, right?!

The day overall was bearable. The building was near the station, and inside that particular station…. *drumroll* was a BurgerKing. (wow, that’s something I’ve never heard of before…) But we were very happy with that. And when we finally had our 20m break we ran to the burger king and ordered a ridiculous amount of King Nuggets. Dafuq, right. King Nuggets? Just call them Kip Nuggets already, don’t be silly. Luckily, they sure tasted very good. Yum. Uh-oh.. and then we found out we were kind of maybe just a little bit late to get back in time. So we ran our butts of (we, as in me and my friend who was also taking the exam) and…. Still came in late. Great.

Fun fact: my table was in FRONT of the classroom. Like, FIRST ROW. How embarrassing.. I could feel everyone just looking at me like I was some freak. Good thing I don’t give a shhh about what everyone thinks haha.

And that pretty much was my Tuesday: long, stressful, hard but fun and quite enjoyable. I traveled by train, which is (after flying) my favorite way of transport. Just chilling, headphones in, listening to some good music and reading a book. In my case: Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares. It’s really good so far! I’ve finished about 70% of the book I guess, and can’t wait to finish it!

I am afraid that will be it for today. There is a HUGE pile of homework waiting for me, so I guess I’m gonna do all those lovely assignments right now. Bye!

Awkward.

Here I am, sitting in a dark room (because I am too lazy to turn on the light) trying to write a blogpost. Yes, it is one of those moments when you have seriously nothing to talk about. Or you have so much on your mind but don't know what to say or how to say it. So why not talk nonsense? (:
A couple of my friends really like the tv series Awkward. It airs on MTV and season 3 started a couple weeks ago. And since she talks about this show ALL the time I figured I watch a couple episodes, and it is quite entertaining actually! Today I did nothing, except watching a bout 6 episodes of it haha. Laaaaazy day. I have so much homework and other stuff to do, but I just can't put myself to it. Procrastinating like a pro. My Cambridge Advanced English exam is coming up and I really need to start practising. I'll start tomorrow, I promise! ^^

See you soon!

Good morning everyone (oh well, by the time this post goes online it is 10am in the Netherlands). When you are reading is, I am probably on a plane to London, or I am already there! How cool is that! I am writing this on a Friday afternoon. Which means I now have to pack my suitcase and get ready. In a couple of hours I have to go to work, and right after that I'm off to bed. Because I have to wake up super early in order to arrive at the airport in time.

I just wanted to mention that I probably won't post a lot the next couple of days. After this one I am writing another post in advance, and MAYBE (but probably not) I will write another post when I am in Londen. I heard our hotel has free WiFi (:

Well, I think that was about it. I am not really the type of person that writes super long posts, since I usually don't have that much to say. Enjoy your holidays everybody (I assume more people have spring break right now..?) And I'll talk to you soon!

I hope my English is good enough to survive in London haha. Fingers crossed!

PS; Do you guys like this fond? Hm.. I'm not too sure about it. Just trying out some new stuff.

New Layout

As you may have noticed, I have a completely different layout since today. I liked the old one, but there was just something that annoyed me, don't know what. I wanted a new layout. So I decided to choose a VERY basic layout, very clean. The colours remind me of the spring, and I now it's still winter,  but the sun is shining at the moment and I am in a spring mood. The layout is not perfect yet, and there are a couple of things I need to change, like the background, but for now it will do.

Well, I have been blogging for about 2 months now, and I really like it. The main reason for me to start this blog was to practice my English. My native tongue is Dutch but I think English is a beautiful language and to me it is very important to have a high level in English and this is a great way to practice. But not just that, I also want to talk and write about things that inspire me, or things that happen to me. I like to write it down and share it with other people, like you.
I don't have many visitors, and I hope that will change someday, but right now I am very thankful for the people that visit my blog on a regular basis. So thank you very much for visiting my blog!
I want to make my blog a bit more 'professional' in the future. I want to post pictures taken with a good camera, from good quality, and not so much pics taken with my iPhone at 11PM, when there is terrible lightning (:

And that was about it! Not very much to talk about, just wanted to mention the new layout. I hope you like it! And if you have any comments or recommendations feel free to leave a comment.

Love,
Me.
