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 ^^

Roman trees

Sigh. I absolutely hate (most of the time) vertical pictures. I don't know, I just don't like them. Hea shots and such are fine vertical, but when you take a picture of a landscape it just has to be taken horizontal. In my opinion.

So please please please forgive me for using a vertical picture haha (:

How stupid, I wanted to make a post about the lovely Roman trees here on the camp site but the sun hasn't set yet so I had to use a picture from last year (we went here last year also) and couldn't find a better one. Oops.

Okay, let's get to the point. One of the things I love about this place is the trees. They're super tall and kind of majestic in my opinion. How cool are they, right?! When we're sitting outside (which is always, thanks to the lovely weather) I can just stare at them forever. So much more exciting than the regular Dutch trees (:

Soooooo at the bar there is a karaoke thing going on at the moment and some Italian 50+ woman is singing My Immoral by Evannesscence (HOW do you spell that?!) for the 10th time now! Like wut? Is she rehearsing or something? Oh well. Let's try to ignore it and take another dive in the beautiful pool.

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 (:

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. (:

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.
