Loathing

Just last night I was listening to that wonderful song from the musical Wicked, Loathing. It reminded me of the drives with Sara, Emily, Rachel, and Ian where Sara would switch Ian's Pod for her iPod in the car and we'd listen to Loathing. Ian would shake his head sadly, trying desperatly to educate us in 'good' music. Good times.

The muffins were sucessful, sort of. The Lancesseur's don't have muffin tins so we improvised. They had mini tins where the muffins were so small, smaller than half a two-bite brownie. Then we had small loafs and one that was basically the right size. It was fun.

We are going to Corsica in two days!! Today is preperation day. And tomorrow. For the past two days, I've been told that on that day we would be preparing our valise but we still haven't, tomorrow is our last possible day.

Yesterday I went on MSN and no one was on!! Except Chris, who I talked to. It got me thinking, I don't talk as much to everyone from Canada and I miss that. I mean, I have this blog but except for the comments, it's basically one way. I miss talking with everyone. :(

Yesterday we watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. My favourite part is where they're explaining that he is vegetarian and the Aunt says "That's okay, I make lamb." Fun fun.

I shall leave you all now but leave comments, email me, etc.
'Till next time!

Mmm.... Muffins

Hello everybody!
Today is Saturday (duh) and Juliette, Emma, Elena (Emma's friend) and I are making muffins!
Right now we're stalling because Francoise went out to buy bananas, a critical ingredient for banana chocolate chip muffins. Yesterday when I was feeling a bit better, the 4 of us (listed above) took Emma's face-paint (basically fancy markers) and COVERED eachother's faces. It was quite a site and yes, I took pictures. I will put them on here soon, I promise. Francoise was a bit nervous when we came down because she was wondering as to whether they would wash off or not. We said that yes it did wash off but even if it didn't there's no school for another 2 weeks and no one would see us. Don't worry, it did wash off. We played tons of cards last night and this morning. We haven't seen Grey's yet but soon!! I'm excited to see it. :D Juliette and I make a kick ass signal team and we win basically everytime. Emma and Elena soon got tired of this so they suggested we switch the teams around a bit. :P My stomach is better now, yay, and soon I will be making muffins with the 3 girls and of course, tasting them. 'Till next time!
Love Emma

Oooooh

Hello.
That 'oooooh' in the title is not a good 'oooooh', it's a sick 'oooooh'. I'm home alone, and sick. It's sucks to be sick. My stomach hurts everytime I move and everything I do takes so much energy! Francoise was very nice about it and brought me breakfast in bed, mmm, I love pain-au-chocolate. Today does have it's perks though. For instance, I get to watch Grey's Anatomy! Yay! Marie also informed me that I can watch any dvd that they have or whatever I want. I have made a vow that I will start taking pictures today, and if I take any videos, I will post them on youtube and post the link here. So don't worry, it's not that I havn't given you guys any pictures, it's just that I havn't taken any. Whoa, I don't feel that well again so I'm going to go lie down. I love and miss you all!!
Love Emma

I have run out of interesting titles for today... sorry

It's me again, someone, please remind me to STOP saying that!! It's 10'clock here and I was just on MSN for about 3 minutes talking to Justin. I miss you all but things are looking up! Corsica on Wednesday, school's over tomorrow for 2 weeks, Charles is coming on Saturday morning, all of the Lancesseur's loved their presents, it's good and happy.

I tried out the shower today and despite all the rumors that the pressure is terrible and what not, it's not bad. I quite enjoyed it. Ha ha, I'll stop talking about the showers now, I promise.

I really should go to bed soon, it's 10 (as I said before) and I have to wake up atf 6:50 tomorrow morning. Ah well, I'm used to not very many hours of sleep. Juliette showed me today how to switch the keyboard to the North American keyboard, as long as I know it by memory, it works. Lucky me, I played Mavis Bacon and I know all the keys. It's good, you might start seeing longer posts now that it is easier to type but you never know...

I have a bit of a stomach ache so I think I'll go lie down. The way home from school is all twisty-turny going 60 kilometers an hour... oh my stomach started to turn. Fun as this is describing my discomfort, I shall leave you all. You might get a post tomorrow, probably the day after seeing as that's Saturday but we leave for Corsica on Wednesday! Goodbye for real now!

Love Emma

Me again!

Hello all, it's me again. Infact, it will always be me who posts on this blog, sorry for the harsh reality. Life is better. I think it was so hard two nights ago because I was SO tired. It's better now, I've basically caught up with my sleep and I'm almost completly up to date in relationship to jetlag. Today I had my first day of school, we left at 7:30 and got back between 5:30 and 6 at night. School was good, I liked it. We had two hours of English and Iwas a bit confused when the teacher said dwisgoo-sting (disgusting). At first, people were a bit confused as to whether they should give me bisous or not but by the end of the day, I got parting kisses. Happy(er) days. It's getting better, I keep writing letters to send through the mail but I end up emailing people or writing something on my blog before that basically says what my letter said. I've given up! I hope all is well in Canada, yesterday it was warm here, no snow of course. Last night Juliette, Marie, Emma and I watched Grey's Anatomy (last weeks episode) then we watched One Tree Hill (which I have never seen before). It was good. Sorry no pictures are up yet, I havn't taken many... er... does 6 count? Don't worry, I'll get more soon, defintely when we go to Corsica. I have to stop typing before I go mental with this crazy keyboard. Everyone: leave comments, email me, etc. I miss you all!!!

Bisous,
Emma

Bonjour everyone!

Hello all (look familiar?)
I have arrived now and am struggling greatly with this keyboard, it's so different!! I hope that eventually it will come, the most confusing thing for me is that the letter a and the letter q have switched spots. Last night I got in and had pizza for dinner but was so tired as I haden't slept for 35 hours that I went to sleep. Or tryed anyway. I cried straight for about an hour. I tried to read my book but it didn't help much. Bee Harper says that it's mostly because of jet lag and as some of us know, Bee knows ALL!!
Thanks for the comments everyone (I got so many on my last post, now I know that all I have to do for lots of comments is write boring notes. Alright, I'm home alone and I should go shower before they get home.
Bisous,
Emma

Waiting for the pop..

Hello all,
Wow, I always start my blog-posts the same way. No creative energy is flowing into that area. Anyway, with regards to the title of this post (Waiting for the pop..) it's because I am waiting for my toast to pop, it's in the toaster. I just got back from my hair appointment and my hair (in my opinion) looks nice, Jane agrees. At 11:30, I will go to school and say by to everyone (they will have just written their Math exam, ha ha). Oops! My toast just popped, I got to go!! Will talk later, sorry for the short and boring post.
Love Emma

Finally!

Hello everyone,
It's me (again!). I know you are probably sick of hearing from me, and I haven't even gone to France yet! AHH! Whatever shall you do? I know! Ignore that feeling in your gut and keep reading :P

It's the day before I go to France and I finally started packing! Mom and I layed out everything I'm going to bring and we actually have it in a bag and ready (almost) to go! Unfortunatly, when we weighed it, it was 60.8 pounds and it can only be 50 pounds. Problem.

Easily fixed! We are splitting up my stuff so that it is in 2 seperate bags. Voila. Problem solved.

Before leaving for France I got some beautiful presents from people. From Sara I got a homemade purse (B-E-A-Utiful!! AND it looks hard to make!) and earrings. Thanks Sara!!
From Emily I got a GORGEOUS pink bracelet for breast cancer, and of course her trademark hat/boat orgami. Which ended up unfolding to become a card! Will wonders never cease?! Thanks Emily!!

I recently figured out (or rather, was told) how to add pictures to posts! Again with the wonders thing! Whoa, lots of exclamation marks. I must go now, phone call from Anne. Ciao everyone!

I've given up on the whole teen girl squad thing, sorry dad.

Love Emma

Home sweet home

Hello all,
Today I had my final hockey game with VIS against Fieldstone, also known as the Flinstones, and we lost 5-2. Whatever. I'm not to broken up about it. After hockey, Sara, Zach and I went to McDonalds (Yum, taste those chemicals!) at Lawrence and Dufferin and amused ourselves greatly. We asked what muffins they had (Cranberry and carrot) then proceeded to order sundaes. When we picked up our food, we asked again what types of muffins they had. Once we had driven away, we called the phone number that they had printed on the receipt and asked what muffins they had, what they had in stock then we actually RESERVED a muffin that we said we would 'pick up' in 1/2 an hour.

As if that wasn't enough, we spent the whole car ride home calling random numbers we saw on people's store sign (Fruit and veggies stand, real estate, a gym, dental office, etc.) and asking them what types of muffins they had. Some people humored us, some thought we were crazy, some were a little ticked off. It was especially funny when we called KFC and asked them. Jeff said he knew that they had chicken but what deserts did they have. They said that they had brownies. But they also said they had apple pie, which is when Jeff asked what flavors of apple pie they had. We all cracked up, good times.

Sara came over after and we watched Grey's Anatomy and um.. all I have to say for that is OH MY GOD! And the worst part? I can't even see the next episode until MAY! I'll get updates from Emily and Sara though, not to worry. Well, that's all folks.

Dad, I may have a little trouble with the whole Teen Girl Squad thing, hmm... must think of something. Is it okay if they didn't use it (as they only have 10 episodes) but it includes the word 'gal'? Great. =P

This one will not have one, I shall try hard(er) next blog post-thing.

Love Emma

It's over!

Well, it's officially official!! Spirit of Math is O-V-E-R until MAY! Well, except for the homework I have to do in France. When Mr. Padure was telling us when Jet Set VI was due (2 weeks) I was silently laughing because mine is due in 3 months! Sweet. The bus was even NICE to us! It came on time and Jim was waiting for us RIGHT after we went got to Main Station. Happy, happy days.

Today I played my last Volleyball game for Voice Intermediate School. We won one game and lost the other. Today we had study all day (as you can tell by my previous entry) and we 'borrowed' Ms. V's CD player and practiced the dance. There was some type of crisis at school that I'm not really sure what happened. Ah well. I'm going to FRANCE!!

Tomorrow is volleyball practice and we have my last hockey game. :( I'm going to miss hockey, especially my hockey line; Zach, Micheal and me! Wish us luck! We will be playing at 3:10 at Rinx. Poor Becca has 2 practices directly after the game... AT RINX! Convenient, though tiring.

I love this whole blog thing and I really want to write in it a lot. Lucky for all of you. I will say again that if you want to be on the photo emailing list, either email me WITH your email address or email mi mutti (my mother). Enjoy your free pass into my crazy brain. I'm surprised my body is able to function while during the everlasting combat between my brain and mind. I think that my brain will win. :P

Goodbye my art galleries,

Love Emma

Exams

Today is Thursday the 15th of February, 2007 of course. But I don't really know why I take the time to write the date when it says the date that the post was published. Hmm.... feel free to disregard it.

Right now I am actually at school (:O I know right?!) and we have study all day because of exams next week. I'm in the History room with Emily and Sara, Emily is studying like the hard worker she is. Sara is curled up in a ball in a big comfy chair reading her book. Who has the better idea? Meanwhile, I'm in the corner, typing what you will be/are reading. It took me 1/2 an hour to get this computer. I took out 2 laptops before but then the internet wouldn't work and I had to get a new one, slightly boring, I'll stop.

Well, I think that my previous post was probably more interesting than this one but that's only because I don't have much that happened since last time. I promise that they'll get atleast a BIT more interesting once I get to France. :P

I've been thinking a lot about France but I still have thoughts that are 'up in the air'. I'm SUPER excited to go. I just... I might get homesick, probably will. Jane AND Kate got homesick and they don't get homesick when they're still in their home country, I do. We'll see how it goes.

Ms. Webb just walked by and I think she thinks I'm doing something studious. Little does she know I'm CHATTING!! Horrors of ALL HORRORS!! Ah well, what can you do.

As some of you may know, I will be putting my pictures in a gallery/slideshow on the kodak website. I will email it to some people but if you are not on that list, either email me to tell me to add you to my list OR email my mom and she will forward it to anyone (won't you mom? :D). It is all (fairly) under control.

I can hear Ms. Nicole in the movement studio with I think the grade 7's. Poor them, I believe they are having a full body workout to music by the Black Eyed Peas. Lunch is in 1/2 an hour and I'm staying in (Thanks for the lunch mom!).

Well, I could probably rant more about irrelevant things but I'll spare you, atleast until tomorrow. Or France.

'Till next time my spanish gallions

Love Emma

Ooh... Ahh... Wunderbar!

Success!! A blog!! Finally, I'm ready (well, except for that whole packing thing...). France in 5 days. A mixture of sadness and excitement is practically PUMPING through my veins!! Oh, my, god... I'm insane. Me thinks I might not post this... must decide. Hmm....

Today was Valentine's day and I got a lovely card, rose, and chocolate! Yum. You can never go wrong with chocolate. It was a fun day with a foot of snow! It was nothing compared to New York, I hear they got 11 ft. of snow! Whoa. That would've been cool though, we could have gone sledding off our roofs! Great idea... I must find a way to put it into action.

Well, this is my first blog and I have this bad/good habit of writing everything that comes to mind. Which is why I sound slightly crazy. All of you reading this will probably get used to this by the end of the three months. Ha ha, I feel bad for everyone who though I was normal... :D The things you learn everyday.

The 5 day countdown has commenced! Let the counting begin!!

Love Emma
