Rain.

Rain. Rain everywhere...

The past weekend it has been raining non stop here in The Netherlands. Greaaaat.

Which basically means when you have to cycle anywhere you arrive soaking wet, unfortunately.

But hey, let's all just stay positive and hope it won't rain during the time you have to go outside (:

Hope the weather is more pleasant where you live ^^

Hi!

Hello there guys! It's been soo long and I'm soooo sorry! I haven't posted anything in over a month I believe. So here's what happened.

First, on July 10th my teacher called to tell me that I didn't pass this year at school. BAM. Bummer. 

I felt like my world had exploded and there was nothing left for me. I was absolutely devastated.

For a couple of days I could only cry and feel sad. But then I decided it was enough. The past year was a terrible year for me. I didn't feel comfortable with myself, thought I was fat and ugly and couldn't find the motivation that was necessery to get things done.

It was time for a change. I decided to join the gym near my house. Every day of the week (exept the weekends because then I have to work) at least one hour I spent in the gym for the past couple of weeks. I admit, it is tough. Very tough. But I like it. Working out makes me feel comfortable with myself. My body is healthy now and I'd like to keep it that way. I am not ashamed of my body when I go swimming and overall, I feel great!

So the first weeks of my summer holiday were terrible but now it's great.

I am currently chilling at the swimming pool in Rome, Italy! Yes! I love it here and the weather is great! Gonna be posting some pictures and blogposts this week. Look forward to it (:

Just hang in there

Just 6 more weeks to go! Until summer vacation! Seriously can't freakin' wait! But before the time's there, there is so much left to do.. So many school work, homework, exams, tests, CAE exam, assignments to hand in.. and so forth. Ugh. Whyyyyy.

But when that's all over, and I (hopefully) pass this year, I'll have my break and after that my final year of high school. I am SO looking forward to studying in university! Living on my own, studying what I find interesting, growing up, and all those things.

Me and my fam are probably going on summer vacation this year. But, as usual, we haven't booked yet. We're the kind of people that decide last minute. Last year we went to Rome (oh Rome, how beautiful and amazing you are), and maybe we're returning this year. Or we'll spend a couple of weeks under the Tuscan sun. (: But the chances are high we're going to Italy.
Know that movie? It is on TV every once in a while here in Holland, so I've seen it enough times :P

I am SO done with school. Can't bring up the concentration and motivation anymore, but I have to. Just hang in there. These 6 weeks will be over before I know it. Hopefully.

The perfect spring/summer song

The weather today was amazing in The Netherlands! Wow! Haven't seen that in a while.. But it was about 20 degrees Celsius and the sun was shining and it was just lovely and exactly what I needed at the moment. When I woke up around 7AM and opened my window I heard the birds whistling and the sun shone in my eyes and it was just perfect. And there is this song, which resembles that feeling so good, it is Plage by Crystal Fighters.

I listened to it all morning non-stop! (School did not start until 12 'o clock ^^)

Uh-uh, I know, the song is pretty old. But I love iiiit! Last summer when we went to Rome with the fam, I listened to the song on our way to Rome, and it just brings back a lot of great memories whenever I listen to the song. Summer, lovely weather, great time with family, relaxing, not worrying about a thing... kinda hard to explain.

But anyways, I just want to share the song with you guys, if you haven't heard it before.
ENJOY!

Something came up

Remember when I said yesterday that I was gonna watch Intouchables with two of my friends? Well.. we ended up not watching it. Something came up, as usual. So that's too bad. Maybe another time haha, whenever that will be.

The weather has been so lovely! Last week when I was in London the weather was amazing, with lots of sun but in the Netherlands it had been a bit cold. And you need to keep in mind that in about 1 or 2 months of time we've had sun, snow, rain, heavy wind, clouds and much more! It seems like the weather doesnt know what she wants (: But the time is finally there! SUN! The weather man said on the tv yesterday that the temperatures will come above 20 degrees Celsius! Yay! Time to pull my short sleeve shirts out of the back of my closet!

I'm off! Going outside and taking a book with me! I am currently reading Percy Jackson & the Olympians.

Lovely Weather

Oops. This picture is a bit bigger than I expected. Oh well, doesn't matter. I love this floral print! Don't you? (:

It reminds me of the lovely weather we've had these past couple of days in the Netherlands. We had a lot of sun, lovely! During class you can sit right next to the window and enjoy the sun shining through the windows. Just close your eyes and relax. And during lunch me and my friends like to sit on the field next to the school and eat our meals there. Ahh, the perfect summer feeling. My mom said I already started to get tanned, haha.
