I picture you in the sun - Wondering what went wrong - And falling down on your knees - Asking for sympathy
This song first came to me in an episode of Scrubs (great show by the way) and it is a beautiful song. For a while I forgot about it but tonight I just started humming and I had no idea where it came from. But it's back. And I'm happy. I think that everyone should try to get the lyrics, if not, google them and listen to the song, I love it.
It's is, though, a sort of sad song. It brings sad memories. Memories will always be memories, but some of them are more sad than others. I remember when I was in France, I would start to tune out what people were saying all around me and just let my mind wander... to anything. I remembered getting married to Colin and our daily morning spinning contest. I remembered playing lava floor and dancing around a pile of pennies to the song Waterloo by Abba. Well, back to the point. My mind would wander and I would start laughing, all of a sudden and (so it would seem to the others) for no reason. Well, finally Charles asked my "What are you thinking about?" I laughed and began to tell my childhood, bits and pieces at a time. At the beginning, I think Charles thought I was crazy, but he soon learned that I'm not your average girl, I have a crazy past, an insane present, and an ever-changing future.
Later, maybe the week before I left, I was talking to Charles and I said "You're lucky you know." He just laughed at me, then asked why. I simply explained that he was lucky that I always thought of happy things, happy memories. If every time I thought of happy things I laughed, does that mean that every time I think of sad things I'll cry? That, I explained, is why Charles is lucky. Of course, he just laughed again.
So today I went back to school, and it was pretty useless. Next Monday is our Earth Summit in the year 2050. Well, I had only just heard of it today so I had nothing prepared and instead of a regular day, we had a full-day work period on it. Joy. Well... we started with Ms. Webb where we explored our characters, but since my character was non-existent, I couldn't do anything. We then went with Mr. Hill where we had a work period, but since no computers were available, I did math instead. After we had lunch then we were with Mme. Bellemare. She was teaching us about our presentations but since I didn't have any, and I didn't want to improve anything to show off my 'quirks' I sat there doodling with Emily. Then we had Ms. Vamvalis where we presented our speeches, again I just sat there. And for the rest of the week, we are working on the play, which I'm not going to be in because it's on Friday and I haven't been there. Though I may be in the dance.
So that's it. After school I exercised for an hour and a half while watching Prison Break then had a nice long shower. I'm all clean now and I think I'll go sleep. I miss France, I do, but it's also good to be back. Also, after that long exercise thingy I have calves of steel! Woohoo! Hee hee.

I came here with a load - And it feels so much lighter - Now I met you
Okay, so I'm sure that many of you are thinking "Yes! Those three crazy months of interesting but never-the-less crazy thoughts are finally over!" Okay, think again.
That's right, I'll be continuing my blog. I won't change the link so as not to confuse you but I might change my mind about that decision at a later date. Let me know what you think of that topic. So, I'll still keep this thing running, slowly but running. I probably won't write in it as often, though that's already started, if you look at the archives, I wrote less and less each month.
So it'll keep going, through graduation, this summer, starting highschool, etc. If you want to keep reading that, by all means, go ahead. If that bores you, I will not have any hurt feelings so no worries. Alright, moving on.
It feels so wierd to be typing on a Canadian keyboard and the computer actually producing the letters that I'm hitting. (If you didn't understand that, just ignore it, it's irrelevant).
So that's right, I got back from France Wednesday afternoon and that night I went to the IB open house with Sara, Emily, Ryan and Andre. It was okay, I was wide awake but I crashed hard after it was over. Thursday we went to pick up Jane at the airport and yesterday Jane's friends came over and I did nothing all day. This morning I went for a walk with Freya and my mom and then we went to Starbucks. This afternoon we're going to a soccer game in BMO stadium.
I hate being in my room because I always want to eat the candy I brought home. I hate this, it's torture. Why does French candy have to be so much better?! WHY?! So anyway, yesterday I watched Grey's Anatomy (OMG!) and I'm slowly catching up on 24. My life's a bit boring right now but that's okay. I have my Spirit of Math exam coming up and I think I'll fail because I almost failed last year and that's when I actually went to the classes.
So I think I'll go now. Talk later.
Love Emma

It's the circle of life - And it moves us all - Through despair and hope - Through faith and love - Till we find our place - On the path unwinding
OK everyone, I am deeply sorry for leaving you in a sad state of affairs almost 2 weeks ago! That was just plain cruel! Excusez-moi, je suis carrément désolé. I am officially going home TOMORROW! Okay, so I'll be totally whipped from pulling an all-nighter the night before, jet-lag, the IB open house and all that jazz but I'll be home. I'll be petting Freya, drinking Starbucks, watching Grey's Anatomy, the whole deal. Today's lyrics are a classic and I think that everyone who reads this post should listen to the song once directly after, it's inspiring.
Well, if you haven't noticed, my spirits have noticably lifted. I'm cheery, of couse, I'm leaving in a little over 12 hourse and I haven't packed my suitcase. That should be fun, non? Last week, Jane called and while talking to her in English, I would add words in French here and there. Freaky eh?
I've met the requirements for all those coming home from France: I gave cookies to all my teachers, I bought presents for my hostfamily, I bought presents for friends back home, I've made a CD with French and English songs for the ride home from the airport, I've done it all.
Today was my last day of school so I said goodbye to everyone and they all pitched in and bought me a present. I'm excited about our all-nighter tonight!!
Well, if I don't write again before I leave, the next time I write, I'll be on Canadian soil! I miss you all, see you soon!

Took a right to the end of the line - Where no one ever goes - Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know
Hello. Bonjour. Hola. Hallo. Whatever.
Today I feel blah. I'm in the missing stage I think. And yes, I just created that stage right now. I'll start with explaining the picture though. I drew it today by closing my eyes and drawing what I saw. If anyone wants to take a stab at what it might [possibly] mean, go for it. I personally have no clue. And the lyrics I chose (middle-left) are pretty much a code aswell. Good luck.
Anyway, the missing stage:
I would descibe where I am as the missing stage because it's now where you start to think "I love this room, but I miss my room" or "I love this dog, but I miss my dog" and here's the kicker "I love this family, but I miss my family". So it kinda sucks. Of course, nothing is wrong, except that maybe my rat died and I found out yesterday, and everyone (including me, I'll admit) acts the same. I put my brave face on all day. Last night I cried. A mixture of complicated things. I think my brave face is going to kill me, it's stretched to it's max. I am counting down the days 'till I get home, I'm ashamed to admit. I miss everyone.
Love Emma

When I wanted to call you - And ask you for help - I stopped myself
Hello everybody. Todays blog comes with good and bad news. I'll start with the bad so we can move on to the good, because everyone prefers good to bad. And the picture goes with the good news. Don't worry, it'll be explained. Alright, well the bad news is that Ice Cream, my rat died. Either yesterday or a few days ago. I'm okay.
The good news is that yesterday I went with Marie and Juliette to Rouen and we did some shopping, during which I bought this skirt and shirt (look to picture) and Juliette bought that skirt. And some other things for some other people.
Well, last night was a big party for a cousin (I think, atleast a family member) and it was huge. We personally got home at 3:30 but it was going all night and long into the morning. Ad halfway through the party Olivier took me out to see his friends pet one month old pig that he kept (for the party atleast) in the trunk. He was very cute. Anyway, today is Fete de Travail and no one has work or school except the Lancesseurs. Well, I'm going to go fete not working. Until next time! I miss you all, see you in 2 weeks!
Love Emma
