Bonjour!
It is quite evident that I was never able to post my lovely week at Studio. However, fear not! I will gladly catch my readers up with current events.
For August:
I had an excellent week at Studio. So many new things were learned that I can not even think of how I could begin to explain all of the lessons I value now!
I also enjoyed a five-day vacation at Walt Disney World. We stayed at the Coronado Springs Resort, and I was able to wear a pin to signify my 16th Birthday. This was the first time that I willingly went on a few rides, including Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Rock N Rollercoaster, and the Tower of Terror.
A few funny stories to share:
My favorite restaurant was the Les Chefs de France in Epcot. I enjoyed our waiter, Lidio, who conversed with me en francais! Quite surprisingly, he was impressed by my knowledge of the language, and backed up the idea of me being a French teacher. I really enjoyed actually getting to talk to someone from France!
At Les Chefs de France, I also was able to see a robotic Remy on a platter! It was a lot more exciting than it sounds. He was so adorable… and I could barely stop laughing as I received a birthday crepe with a hearty “Bon Anniversaire!”, sung by some very attractive French boys. 
I also laugh when I think back to the character meet-and-greets. I have to admit, I was so excited that I was actually able to finally “meet” Tinkerbell! I was also able to meet Iridessa and Vidia… although, I did miss Silvermist, Fawn, and Rosetta. I had so much fun pretending to talk fairy-speak with the “fairies”! Disney is so great, because it brings out the inner child that you try to hide from everyone. ^.^
The last epic story from Disney World has to deal with two of my other favorite characters, Peter and Wendy.
I waited in a long line for about twenty minutes to meet these characters. When it was finally my turn, I went to take a step forwards…and this huge red wasp decided to land on my nose! First thought was, Woah. There is a wasp on my nose. Secondly, came the: Ohmygod, I HATE BEES! And then came the: WHAT is going to happen? I’m FREAKING OUT!!!!
Fortunately, I stayed calm. I was actually more panicked by the idiotic man behind me. He kept on shouting, “Oh my God! There is a WASP on that girl’s NOSE! Don’t MOVE, sweetie! DON’T MOVE. He’ll STING YOU!”
Inside my head, I was thinking: I’m going to sting you if you don’t calm down in ten seconds. You are SO ANNOYING!
Luckily, that wasp decided I was too boring, so he floated away. Then, I was able to come up to Peter Pan and Wendy, and the conversation went like this:
Wendy: “Wow! You are very brave! I would’ve screamed like a little girl!”
Peter: “You ARE very brave. What do you think, Wendy? I think we could use some Lost Girls!”
Wendy: “Oh yes, quite! But, is it your….SIXTEENTH birthday? Oh, no! You are quite old!”
Peter: “Are you a GROWN-UP?! I hate grown-ups!”
Wendy: “Well, now. Today’s your seventh birthday, because one plus six is seven. Happy Seventh Birthday!”
Peter: “Oh, all right. That’s fine.”
Wendy: “Actually, I think she would make a perfect mermaid. Wouldn’t she, with that jewelry and her hair?”
Peter: “Oh yes, I think she would be a lovely mermaid……….”
Wendy: “PETER!!!!”
…and to top it all of, this conversation took place with adorable British accents. Thank you, Disney World, for one of the most epic moments ever.
That about wrapped up August for me. Now, we get to September.
This year is my Junior year. Woot! Go Bulldogs!
I never thought much when people used to laugh about Junior year. In fact, I’d laugh along with them as they said, “Ha! Good luck with THAT year!” Then, I realized that they weren’t lying.
Junior year was created by the Devil.
Imagine juggling this schedule: tennis games till 8 p.m., school at 7:30 a.m., four class loads of homework, Vice President of Community Service, assistant Future Teacher, and various other extracurricular activities (dances, football games, community service clean ups.)
Yeah. Welcome to my life.
I’ve created a sense of paranoia for myself. It is so easy to forget things, and then panic over their absence.
This post is becoming lengthy, and I still have loads of homework to do before tomorrow {Yes, I know it’s a Saturday, but Sunday is my slouch day.}
Today, I took part in a beach sweep at a local beach. It is true that the water is very polluted, but the sand dunes and natural life were gorgeous. There is nothing better to me than beach ecosystems. I find beaches to be one of the best beautiful things nature has to offer. It also helped that the beach had an abundance of quality sea glass.
Well, I really must be heading off now. I promise you that I will try my hardest to post once every 1-2 weeks! I am really focusing on revamping this blog to become the best it can be. I already have a list of a few ideas…
Have a good weekend!
Lots of ♥,
