New School

    Sorry for my absence! Last week was my first week at my new school, in my new country! Haha, so many news... Now that I've finally gotten into the school habit I can start writing more often since last week was kind of a "getting used to" period.
    My high school is a lot bigger than the other schools I've been to so I got lost quite a bit during my first few days. I got a lot of strange looks when I accidentally walked into grade 12 classes, haha. It's both a boarding school and a day school but I go to the day school only. Thus it being both types, the campus is reeaally big... I made a couple new friends and I'm hoping to making more the next few weeks. It's also an English school so just about everyone speaks English and all the classes are taught in English except art and French (obviously for the last one).
    I have eight courses since my school isn't semestered. They are: math, English, science, art, French, history, civics and careers, and business. All of them are compulsory except for French, art and business which I got to choose. I chose to take Enriched French which is harder than Academic which is harder than Applied and on top of all that I got the strictest French teacher in the school... We were writing the conjugations of irregular verbs and I had to write the past tense of ConnaĆ®tre for all the pronouns on the board. I thought I knew how to do it until I got to the board and then I totally panicked and forgot what to write! I ended up writing the wrong endings and I forgot this other thing you have to add between the pronoun and verb (avoir conjugated for those of you who know) and I was sooo embarrassed!!! She came up to me and was like "you really have to review your verb conjugations. This is all wrong!" and then she drew a huge X through my work "if this was on a test I would take 5 marks off each question!". It was like the worst thing! I used to be the "smart" one in my French class last year and now I'm like the "not-so-smart" one... I don't know if I should switch classes so I can be back in Academic or should I continue..? (Crying :( ) I've also got a Math Quiz tomorrow... I know right? On the second week of school... 
    Well that's about it for now. I'll try not to talk about school too much in my later posts, it's just a big part of my life so it's hard not to. Maybe after a few weeks things will start to get a bit easier as I get used to everything... I hope.

I'm Back

I'm finally back from England! Sorry about not being able to blog for so long. The weddings I went to were pretty fun and I had a blast! I'll write more a little later, but for now, here are a few pictures from the past couple of days:


Wedding Number 2
Getting my makeup done before bridesmaiding
Perfection with the lipstick! 
Me in the bridesmaid dress

The next pictures are me practicing my photography skills:







I took a lot more photos but these were the ones that I thought looked the best. I was still learning my camera's functions so determining the focus and light balance was still hard for me to do. The bridesmaids dresses were a little different than what I thought they were going to be but they weren't that bad. I really didn't like the hairstyle though... There's nothing you can do about it since it's the bride's decision and it's her day, not yours :) If she likes it, then isn't that what really matters? Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the pictures!
