I realize this is a little late, but LOOK WHO FINALLY A OBTENU LE PRÉSENT DIPLÔME DU IB! Four years of hard work, several mental breakdowns, and a year of waiting and I finally have my diploma. On that note, good luck to all of the current IB students. PUNCH ALL OF YOUR EXAMS IN THE FACE! :)

(Especially HL Biology because that exam was a bitch.)

Blue Springs, FL | April 2013

John and I have really bad picture luck. If one of us looks good, the other one looks stupid. John looks good here, and consequently, I look kind of stupid. Still one of our better pictures, nonetheless.

Awww…

I miss that cat.

I tried washing the makeup off from under my eyes, and then realized it wasn’t makeup. That’s just what my face looks like right now. I am absolutely exhausted after this week, and I still have more to do. But it’s all good. Nobody sleeps in college anyways.

This has been my first week wearing my uniform, as well. I went to the store today to pick something up on my way home and a little kid came up to me and said hi. Then he grabbed his sister and said, “Mira, mira! Ella… she flies planes!” Not quite, little dude. But I thought that was really cute, nonetheless.

:3

Do I need a reason to take a picture? I don’t think so.

Happy Thursday, guys!

Just had my wisdom teeth removed! I look like a chipmunk. There are no ice packs here, so I’ve spent the day with bags of frozen corn on my face. You may begin relishing in my unmatchable beauty now.

My cousin not only agreed to drive me home after my operation today, but also took the liberty of staying with me for the weekend to take care of me. As much as I pride myself on independence, I’m incredibly grateful for all the people that have gone out of their way to help me out. I’m currently brainstorming some awesome ideas for “Thank You” gifts. They all really deserve it!

Cheesy uniform pics, as promised!

The braces.

Look at the braces.

And the hair.

Oh, God.

Moment of silence in honor of my successful emergence from puberty.

Just picked up my uniforms! Today is a happy day.

ONWARD! TO THE TAILOR!
