EXAM WEEK IS OVER. My feels:

DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNNN

Oh no, it's here. It's already going on actually haha, just forgot to mention. But what I am talking about is the oh so terrible exam week. BUT! When this week is over, there are only 2 more exam weeks to go, so that's uhh kind of a good thing. I guess.

Nothing you can do about it, huh? So here's a few tips on how you survive your exam week:

1. Drink lots of tea.
2. Try to got to bed early (it's so hard, i know)
3. Relax.
4. It is okay to make mistakes.
5. JUST SURVIVE, it'll be over soon enough.

Okay, back to learning. BYE!

Cambridge Exams Results!

AAAAAHHHH OHMYGARDEN YOU GUYS I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T BLOG ABOUT THIS BEFORE. But guess what..... *drum roll*

I PASSED MY CAMBRIDGE ADVANCED ENGLISH EXAMS!

I am so happy!

On July 25th, about 8 weeks after the exam, we could see if we passed our exams. I was SO nervous, especially because I already failed this year at school. I was shaking and didn't want to know whether I passed or not.

But eventually I found the courage to look aaaaand I passed! At grade B! I was super close to grade A! So that's a bit of a bummer (because then I would get an even higher certificate) but you won't hear me complain! I am so happy. 

Just wanted to share that with you ^^

Now or never!

 

This .gif is in honor of Despicable ME 2 finally coming to cinemas in The Netherlands. Yay!

Alright. So it's now or never. The last test week of the year is about to start. Ugh. Well that's gonna be something. I HAVE to get good grades in order to pass this year. Fingers crossed!
Nothing much to tell actually. Only that I will probably not post much this upcoming week, since I have to focus on my tests. Just so you know (:

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!

 

Happee Birthday Dad.

 

Today, Sunday June 2nd, is NOT my dad's birthday. It is tomorrow actually. But we're celebrating today for friends and family, and the weather just happens to be perfect. (:
The sun is shining, there are birds in the garden, waiting for us to leave our food and then steal is from us, and everyone is happy. I love these days. And about time too! It is officially summer in only 19 days, and we haven't had such a cold spring in about 40 years I believe, here in our little county.

And I finished Looking for Alaska, by John Green. Finally. Didn't read much last week, but since the weather was so nice, I decided to take my book outside and finish it in the sun.
I REALLY liked it. Didn't know what to expect, and since the book is from a boy's POV, there's a lot of 'girl reviewing' in the book. But it was very nicely written, and a lot of great philosophy is in it. I would definetely recommend it!

Now it is time for me to start studying for my Cambridge exam, which means even MORE reading haha. Gonna start reading 'The Lighthouse' by P.D. James tonight! I promise. I think..

PS; noticed my Harry Potter reference in the post? If you do, I love you! Oh well, I already gave it away with the pic. Nah. (:

Hit me with your best shot

Hit me with your best shot dundundundun why don't you hit me with your best shot?!

Haha, I've had this song stuck in my head the entire day! Kinda catchy.
So, within 2 weeks is my CAE exam... AAAHH stressing out (again. still. uhm.), I have so much left to do! I decided to read/talk/speak english as much as I can in order to prepare. So far it's going pretty okay.
And I STILL haven't finished Looking for Alaska. Oops. Haven't read anything in the last 4 days. There are only 40 pages left to read. Think I might finish it tomorrow. And then immediately start in The Lighthouse by P.D. James (Have to read that one for the exam).

Tommorow it's time for some sailing! Ah, love it! I teach kids between the ages of 8 and 15 how to sail in a small boat. I absolutely love doing that, it's so much fun. Myself, I took my first sailing class when I was 9 years old. I did it for 3 years, and now this is my 3rd year of teaching kids. (:

And for the rest, my weekend pretty much consists of homework. Dull. But it has to be done, hm? I'll just finish watching Dear John (oh Channing Tatum, how much I love you. Seriously, have you seen those abs...?) and going to bed. Bye!
