Today was the first day. We walked around the centre-ville a bit and visited two cathedrals and a 15th-century castle. At one of the cathedrals, Notre Dame de Dijon, I sensed some sort  of presence or energy (it's a hard sensation to explain). It was interesting; I felt it suddenly very strongly after writing a prayer for the statue of the Virgin ( Read more... )

    O.M.G. I just had the weirdest experience walking home.
    So I'm walking, and there's this random guy walking too, presumably another student from my school. So, he starts talking and asking me what grade I'm in and stuff, and I'm all being polite and stuff. He was in 10th grade and his name is like... Dendrius or something...Then he was all ( Read more... )

    I'm sorry I haven't been commenting on anyone else's journals lately. I promise I'll work on that.

I know I've been awfully superficial lately... it's not what it looks like, I swear. I'm still a cerebral person, even if it might appear to the observer that all I care about lately is guys.

I've been working on my transcendental meditation ( Read more... )

    Got checked out of school today. Freaking hectic day. I had to find an Extended Essay mentor by the end of the day. If you don't know, E.E. is an IB thing. It's only worth 3 out of like 50 points towards the diploma, but they still make a big deal out of it. My mentor is Mrs. Brooks, the theatre teacher. None of the faculty members would have ( Read more... )

WIFI!!!!! I HAVE WIFI!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

My brother didn't block the wifi entirely; he blocked ME from the Wifi. I can access it on every other account. The next step is to make a new account for myself.

I am in the process of cramming for my upcoming AP exams.

Thursday: AP English Literature and Composition
- Basically, this class is not an AP class, the way it's taught at my school. It's IB English I. Basically, we don't learn AP material, we learn stuff that's, you know, actually important. The AP designation is to get my school more money. So, I' ( Read more... )

    So.... it's been a while...

I'm still thinking of switching my journal but that hasn't materialized yet... mostly because I can't think of a good username right now.

I switched over from Yahoo to Gmail.    the.disconsolate.one@gmail.com

So... updates on me... school still sucks. I have an English Oral of DOOM tomorrow. I'm going to ( Read more... )

Oh, the hypocrisy!

Okay, time for MySpace Stuff that Annoys Emilie! Because my opinion counts, darn it! (not really, but still).

Point of Contention #1
Internet disease pictures. What is "internet disease", you ask? I stole the term from ( Read more... )

    I've decided that I'm going to make and sell jewelry to make a few extra bucks to finance the New Clothes for Emilie Fund. ^_^. Most of my stuff will be in the $5-$20 price range, maybe even cheaper. I'm mostly going to sell to people I know IRL, but I plan on getting a free online store thingy as well. Oh, and I'm going to make commercials and ( Read more... )

    Man... I got SO high last night. On coffee. No, I'm serious. Apparently four cups of ccffee gives me a serious buzz. It was a very enjoyable high, and led to a buncch of like, creative inspiration and stuff. I'm talking about frantically sketching jewelry designs at 2:45 AM ( Read more... )
