Destination Bliss: Weekly Review

Weekly Review

This week has gone by at lightning speeds. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S MARCH AND SPRING BREAK IS IN 7 DAYS LIFE IS GOOD. This was one of my most favorite weeks ever. I felt like I was on a ‘happiness high’ the whole week. I could not stop smiling.

First off, last weekend there was a dance competition in my town which made me immensely happy. I quit competitive dance this year so this was a chance to see some girls that I haven’t seen in ages. I also LOVE to watch dancing. I practically spent the whole weekend there just sitting and watching. It was amazing.

Then, BOOM it was March. OMG WHERE HAS FEBRUARY GONE!! I feel like I blinked and it was over! But I am completely okay with this because March is going to be epic. Spring break AND Easter, what more could you want!

At the moment I’m very busy planning semi-formal which is at the end of the month. The theme this year is red carpet which I’m quite excited for. I’m not actually going to semi-formal but I'm helping to decorate for it. At my school it’s kind of a unspoken rule that grade 9’s can’t go to semi which makes me very angry but there is really nothing I can do to change it. You have to pick your battles and this is not going to be one of mine.

Also this week was my high school’s ‘Grade 8 Open House Day’ , so around 200 grade 8’s spent the day at my school playing games and all that fun stuff. Unfortunately it seemed that I was more excited to play the games then the grade 8’s..... Oops but come on who doesn’t love games like Duck Duck Goose! Then in the evening was the open house for the parents. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I was asked to be a student ambassador so I had to give a speech, which I have to say was pretty good ;) A bunch of my friends came too and we all had a grand time showing our school spirit!

I am really sad because I’m on the last season of Grey’s Anatomy. I know, I know it’s totally weird to be upset about finishing a t.v show but it has been a big part of my life since Christmas! It has also inspired me to go into medicine when I’m older which is a pretty big deal.

I usually try to tie some sort of life lesson/inspiration into these posts so here it is. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams- Eleanor Roosevelt. This is what I’ve meditating on this week. I visualize my biggest and craziest dreams. In ten years where will I be? What will I be doing? Who will I be with? In ten years I will be 24. I hope to be in Med School preferably at Oxford or Cambridge. I can see myself happily married or in a serious relationship. I will be living in an apartment in London. I will still be best friends with my current best friend. My mom will be in England too, probably in the countryside, always looking out for me.

So, where do you see yourself in ten years?

P.S I GET TO BE A CHEERLEADER IN MY SCHOOLS PRODUCTION OF HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY

Have a great week,

Love, Em

Weekly Review

3:35 PM

I’ve decided to start a new little mini series on my blog called ‘Weekly Review’. In these posts I will pretty much just be rambling on about stuff thats happened in the week.

Enjoy!

First of all I started reading this new book called ‘Smart Girls Get What They Want’ and I’m totally becoming obsessed with it. It reminds me of my friends and I because we are all SUPER completive when it comes to grades... Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing because we all motivate each other to get the best grades possible. The only downfall to this is when you don’t do as well as you hoped on a assignment then all you can think about is how much better the other girls did then you.

I also have to chose my courses for next year (grade 10) which is REALLY stressful! We get to chose 3 ‘elective’ courses (art, music, gym, etc) besides from the mandatory courses (english, math, science etc.). As much as I enjoy drama I’m not really interested in taking it next year and I have the artistic ability of a 2 year old, so I’m having a hard time picking elective courses. I think I have decided on French, Grade 11 AP English and Grade 11 Chemistry. I’m hoping to do a semester abroad in grade 11, so I’m trying to get all the hard grade 11 courses out of the way in grade 10.

Our schools senior drama class also just decided on a musical that they are going to put on (it’s still suppose to be a secret but whatever)... THEY ARE DOING HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! I am BEYOND excited about this because A. It’s HSM, aka the best thing thats ever existed on this planet and B. Since I’m in the junior drama class, I get to help and be a part of a few scene! YAY! (cue very high pitched screaming!)

This week I have also tried on focusing on that fact that we are all here for a reason so we might as well make everyday count. Confidence and kindness can get you so far. It’s not about the clothes you wear or the grades you get, it’s about how you treat others and the way you treat yourself. Yesterday a girl in my math class gave me a compliment that honestly made me feel like I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the day. She turned around to ask me a question about the homework but instead looked at me for a few seconds then said ‘You are honestly so pretty.’. Everyone is beautiful in their own way but it just felt so amazing to hear that from someone who everyone at my school seems to think is a super model. So, keep your head high but be sure to always stop to tell someone what makes them sensational.

P.S My friends and I are planning on going to the trampoline park tomorrow so that is also SUPER exciting!!

P.P.S I have also been obsessed with listening to TED Talks recently, this is one of favourites that's definitely worth givingg a listen to.
