Summer School

Before you say anything, I'm not going to summer school for help in classes, I'm taking gym and a class called CALM (Career and Life Managemnt) just so I can get the classes over with. These classes are mandatory to take if you want to graduate, but I heard that CALM is the worst/most boring class ever, and I'm not a huge fan of gym :P So intstead of taking them for five months, I can take them in two weeks :) I'll take the second option please! ;)
I was really worried about it. Worried that my friends wouldn't be in the same class as me, and that there would be a lot of rude people and such (you know how rude some kids can get in high school ;P). But surprisingly, it's been quite fun :) I'm actually enjoying it! I have a few friends in my class, and I actually enjoy my classmates too, they're all nice, and none of them seem rude (yet!).
We've been swimming, playing soccer, kickball, yoga (not my forte), lots of gym stuff, and tomorrow we're going to some park to play capture the flag and games like that. God, I havn't played that game in forever! I loved it! Hopefully it'll be fun with my class, we'll see :)
Anyhoo, I hope you're having a great summer so far!! I've been quite fine in my summer school ;)
Love you,

Laura <3

Canada Day

Happy Birthday Canada!!
As you canadians might now, the first was Canada's birthday :) haha
So, just like the forth of July for the americans, we have fireworks, and partys and special events. In my small suburban town, we had a small Battle of the Bands competition and then some fireworks right after. So my friend Ayden and I decided to check it out.
All the bands were young, like high school students, but they were all pretty good, I was impressed :) And after wards, the fireworks were lame (what do you expect in a suburb?) but still pretty entertaining. We met up with a few friends, and just had a really good time :)
I brought my camera along, so I wanna share some pictures, enjoy! :)

 Do you see that tall guy to the right? Well, I thought he looked familiar, I thought he was one of my friend's older brother. So I asked my friends who were with me to scream "Jaden" (his name) and if it is him, he'll turn around. We did, but he didn't turn around. So two of my friends walked infront of him, turned around and walked back just so they could see his face and it was him! haha He turned around and gave us a weird look. He was with a girl, and I wanted to know what she looked like, so one of my friends went infront of them, started to take a video of the band that was playing, then she slowly turned around to Jaden and his girlfriend while still recording, haha. We watched the video, and paused right when the camera was showed Jaden and his girlfriend, and she was staring at the camera with a very confused look. It was hilarious XD

 I loved this guy <3 He made me laugh so hard xD Trying to be cool and play over his head, haha

 Like I said, the fireworks were lame, and my camera sucks :p So these were the best pictures I got, hope they're good!

Wow... after looking at these, they all suck XD haha But I hope you liked them! I hope you're having a great summer like I am so far!

Love you,

Laura <3

Finto!

Exams are done!! :D:D You have no idea how releaved I am :)
But I'm not officially free from school. Tomorrow everyone from school can pick to go to a waterpark, or to an amusement park.... I'm going swimming :)
I'm excited!! Let a little worried D: Last time I went there, I flashed someone in the wavepool >.<
haha but this time I'll wear a shirt ;P haha
Then Wednesday I have no school, and on Thursday I get my report card. On Thursday I wanna share my list of summer activities I wanna do if that's ok :P
Anyhoo, I should get to sleep soon for tomorrow :)
I hope you have a great night!
Love you,

Laura<3

I appologize again for not being on here for so long :( Exams have been so overwhelming! All the studying.... and more studying, ah! But I have my last one tomorrow! Social Studies D:
Please wish me luck! I'm not the best at social :/ The other exams have been alright, and my marks have been pretty good :) Because I'm not so good at social, I've been talking to my social teacher a lot lately, and asking her hundreds of questions about it. She did help me out quite a bit, and I don't feel as stressed :) One little thing she said that I loved was "On the day of the exam, go to Starbucks and get your favorite drink, and get your favorite treat, like banana bread or whatever. So during the exam, you have something to sip on, and munch on. Something that you love to calm you." :):)
Haha, I love that idea! I can't get a ride to Starbucks though :( So I think I'm going to make some Earl Grey tea and take it with me in a mug, and bring some banana bread Bear Paws. Oh, God, I love those things :9
And after the exam, I'll finally be free from school! :D:D I can't wait! I wrote out a super duper fantabulous awesome long list of things I want to do this summer :) Next time, I'll type it all out for you :P And I think I'll share my summer and my summer bucket list with you. Share some storys, show some pictures, yatta yatta. I think think it'll be fun :)
Anyhoo, that's all I have to talk about now! I'm excited for tommorow, I finally get to be free :))
I hope you're having an awesome summer!
Love you,

Laura<3

Eminem

I've been a little obssessed with Eminem. The Marshall Mathers, Slim Shady, Eminem, yeah...
So I just wanted to share a few of my favorite songs from Eminem :) If you don't like rap, please just give it a try, you might actually like it ;)

Stan. This is an amazing song, the story, the rhyming and all the emotions he does. I just love this song so much <3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOMhN-hfMtY

Mockingbird. Once again, the story is great, and the message he's saying to his kids is moving. I have a friend who really loves this song, she shares the love of this song with her father, and she's memorized every word, she doesn't even get tongue tied. I think my friend loves this song so much because she doesn't get to see her father that often you know? Anyhoo, I hope you like this one :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9bCLPwzSC0

Sing For The Moment. I just love what he's rapping about, plus it plays an Aerosmith verse ;) haha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4hAVemuQXY&feature=relmfu

Beautiful. In my opinion, this is the best song on his Relapse album. The chorus always cheers me up a little C:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgT1AidzRWM&feature=related

Love The Way You Lie. Everyone's favorite at the moment :P You gotta love Rihanna's chorus, and how well Eminem shows his angry/sad emotion. This song is brilliant, and I'm proud of Rihanna for making this song (after what happened with Chris Brown).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U

Those are just a few of my favorites, I have a LOT more. Pretty much anything Marshall Mathers writes, I fall in love with <3
Please leave a comment if you're a die hard Eminem fan like I am :) w00t
And I hope you have a great day today!
Love you,

Laura <3

My Weekend

I went to my friend's house, Ayden, and we were really bored, so we decided to make a huge side walk chalk picture on the road :P
It took so many hours. We stopped for dinner, then continued. Stopped again for the night, the finished it in the morning :) And we had to get up and get out of the way for all the cars driving by haha xD
So here's some pictures!! I hope you like it :) (I'm just praying that it won't rain for a while D: )

It actually took SOOO long making that blue circle. And these two guys who were in their twenties drove by and said "Nice blue circle." haha Then the came back like, the next morning and said "It's a lot better since last time!" xD

After a lot of scrapped knees, blisters on our finger tips, and hard work, we finished!! And my fingers still burn a little :P haha 
Ayden and I also bought Slurpies, broke a light bulb, went swimming, sun tanned a little and ate delicious food :) It was definately the best weekend I've had for a LONG time :) Thanks Ayden <3
Love you,

Laura <3

Good Monday

Guess what....... I GOT THE DRESS!!!!!!! *dance around my room*
Yeah! I got it!! :D:D I went back to the store, and tried it on again. It was really tight, but the sales women said to try it on without the bra, because a dress like that doesn't really need one. So I did, and it fit perfectly :) I'm wearing it now, because it makes me oh so happy!! I can't wait to show it off at the dance ;)
I'll post more pictures before I go to the dance, just so I can show the whole outfit.
Also, it's been one week since my little Goal of the Week. And I'm proud to say, that I beat my goal!
Yep! I ate healthy through out the whole week, except for Friday, and I went to the gym five times :) I'm so proud! I'm going to try my best to continue going to the gym this week, and eating healthy. Wish me luck ;)
That's all for now, I'm going to the gym in 15 minutes so I better get ready! D:
I hope your monday was just as good as mine :) Or it will be :P
And here's random picture of cute puppies, just to make you smile :)

Love you,

Laura <3

The Perfect Dress

The year end dance is coming, and I'm switching to a different school, so I really wanna dress pretty for the dance. So me and my parents went shopping for 5 hours today to find the perfect dress. And I found it:



Yeah, that's me xD

The dress is a beautiful colour of blue/turquoise. It has a black lace on the inside of it at the bottom, and it has a cute black velvet pattern all over. And it's topped off with a big black bown around the wait and blue sparkles :)

I LOVE this dress. I think it looks really good on me, plus I think it suits my personality in a way. Plus blue/turquoise will bring out my blue eyes ;) When I put on this dress, I imagined every girl being jealous, I imagined dancing with a guy, I imagined a guy asking me to dance with him. That's only happened to me once.

But there's a problem. (yep, NOTHING'S perfect!!)

It fits just a little too tight.

Not because I'm fat, or because I have a big stomach, no, I don't have that, it's because of my boobs. >: |

If it was because I had a little extra weight, or a bigger stomach, I would work my ass off to lose weight. But you can't really lose boob fat can you? Unless you starve yourself. And I'm NOT doing that.

I asked for a bigger size, and they didn't have one. But the store at the other mall did. So we put it on hold.

When we got to the other store, I tried it on, and it fit PERFECTLY!!! I fell in love with the dress, I couldn't stop smiling :)

We were about to buy it, when i noticed that the zipper had a little trouble zipping up. I showed my mom, and the zipper was about to break. The sales women called it zipper lock, and it's REALLY hard to fix. She offered us $10 off, but my mom refused.

I know this sounds crazy, but I almost cried when we walked out the store. I told my mom that I wished I havn't of told her.

To be honest, I was kind of kidding, but my mom didn't think so.

So we went to another store, and I was pretty bumbed. I tried on more and more dresses but they just wern't the same. Finally, my mom said.

"Maybe we should just get the smaller size of the blue dress, and you can maybe starve yourself??"

"No! That's disgusting! I am deffinately NOT doing that. You're sick." And I closed the change room door on her. :/ To be honest, I do find that sick, because it's coming from my mother. Isn't she supposed to me a role model for me? Isn't she supposed to tell me what's good for me?

That's when I actually did start crying. I felt fat. I know that it's so hard to lose boob fat, but it is possible. And it bugged me so much, because not that long ago (I was just freaking out then) I thought that my boobs were so big, because i was fat.

So for the rest of the time, I was pretty much depressed, and I cried a lot in the car. My dad yelled at me saying that she was joking. But dad, you weren't there, she sounded pretty damn sure to me. She didn't laugh afterwards, are said "Just kiding!" No, she seemed serious to me.

We gave up after 5 hours and went home.

My day is ruined. I cried a lot at home. Because I don't have my perfect dress, because I told my mom about the zipper, because my mom told me to starve myself, because I was hungry, because my feet hurt, because I was tired and because we spent 5 hours shopping, and didn't buy a thing.

Don't worry, I had a long talk with my mom, and we made up. She told me that she said to starve myself becuase she was angry that I said I shouldn't of told her about the zipper, because she doesn't want to pay for something so expensive, and have it break.

And she said that she shouldn't of said that, and that I can't lose weight, cuz I'm skinny :)

I appologized too, and we hugged it out :)

I'm still a little sad though, just cuz my day was terrible.

But we're planning on going back, and trying on the blue dress again and seeing how it fits at the boobs again. We're just scared that when I dance, that it'll rip or something cuz it is really tight there. But we're gunna try it again, and hopefully it's good!!

So, please cross your fingers!!

I just really wanted to talk about it, because I just had like, the worst day :( But I am happy that my mom and I made up :)

Have a great night! And I'll tell you tomorrow about the dress :)

(PS sorry for spelling mistakes, I wanted to type this up quickly cuz I have to go somewhere D:)

Love you,

Laura <3

I just shaved

I just shaved my legs.... they feel so smooth :3

Long Weekend

Woo! I've got a long weekend :D
Well, it's not that long, I just get Monday off, but hey! That's another day of no school!
So, this week has been... dreadful. I was gone all of last week because of band tour, so this week I had to catch up in every subject (that's not the funnest thing to do) plus I had two final exams, plus I had track meet, and I hate track meet.
Track meet is a whole day where every student hangs out at the track and participates in track and field events. And if you don't participate, well you just lost a butt load of marks :P
But on the bright side, I'm glad this week is over :) And tonight me and a two friends are gunna walk down to this new garden center that just opened. It has a cafe as well, so we're gunna order some tea and chill. Can't wait :)
So, what's the plans for your weekend? Do you have a long weekend too?
Anyhoo, have a great night!

Love you,

Laura <3

Goal Of The Week

When it comes to losing weight/ getting healthy, I never know what to do. Should I run? Do some sit-ups? Maybe just eat healthy? But I got an idea. It's my little goal of the week. Here it is:
Run (well, jog :p) for half an hour, for five days. Then eat healthy every day, exsept on Friday or Saturday :3
What do you think? I really hope I can do it. It's a small goal and there's not much working out, but I think it's a good start. So, I'll be getting my heart beating faster when I jog, and I'll eat healthy :) But c'mon, everyone loves junks food (especially me :P) So on Friday or Saturday (depends what I'm doing with my friends) I'll pig out on food. But only for that day! Then I'm back to eating healthy! And running for that half an hour isn't the only exercise I'll get. I sometimes lift weights at home, and I always try my best in gym class. And I usually walk home with my friends from school, just to enjoy the weather <3
I think it's a good start cuz I love running, and I get to look forward for Friday :)
I really hope it will work : / 
I'll get back to you about this next week on Monday alright?
Thanks a lot for ready this :)

Love you,

Laura <3

Self Image

Just like every other teenage girl, weight ALWAYS bugs me. It's like it's always on my mind. "Don't eat that! You're too big! She's skinnier! Go workout!" Some days, I feel skinny. I look at myself in the mirror and I say "Damn girl, that cupcake didn't do anything to you last night!" But other days (most days), I avoid looking at myself in the mirror. So on one of those other days, I wrote this story for an English test. Weight was really bothering me at that moment and I just had to let my feelings out.
I proud to say I got 94% on the test :)
Tonight, is another one of those nights. So I typed up my story and decided to share it with you. Because I know a lot of girls go through the same thing as me, and guys too I guess.
Well here it is :) I really hope you'll like it. It's really cheesy at the end, I know, but I was running out of time in class so I quickly wrote an ending.
Enjoy :)

I’m watching this TV commercial with a thousand thoughts flying through my head.

“Lose weight instantly with this new diet!!” A skinny woman on the screen with long blonde hair tells me. “It’s easy, and easy to do! Even hear it from our customers!” She struts off the screen and a darker woman comes out to add her story.

“I was 180 pounds! After using this diet, I lost 60 pounds!” She shows a huge fake smile.

Instantly, I subtract the numbers “That means she weighs 120 pounds now…” I tell myself, remembering the last time I was on the scale.

I stepped on to the clean white plastic sucking in my stomach thinking that it would help. But a big 130 pounds came up.

I didn’t think it was that bad, I mean look at me. I’m 5’6; I have a big head and breasts. 130 isn’t fat. But are those just excuses? After I see this skinny woman with big breasts, maybe 120 is kind of big…

“Whatever.” I mutter aloud. With the press of a button that TV commercial isn’t telling me I’m fat anymore, but the woman’s voice still lingers in my mind. “I was 180 pounds… I lost 60 pounds!”

Slowly, I climb my stairs to head up to my bedroom. I flick my light switch on, and then turn to my laptop where I spend most of my free time on.

As soon as the internet opens, I type in ‘Facebook’ in the search bar, then log on. And what’s the first thing I see? An add telling me to go lose weight.

Once again, I try to ignore it, “I lost 60 pounds!” The woman brags to me once more.

I click on the ‘News Feed’ and start reading some statuses. I comment here and there, and post one of my own. It’s just a status about my day, nothing too interesting.

Scrolling down, a photo catches my eye. Kati Colbert is posing with some short shorts and a tank top. Curiously, I place my mouse on her pictures and click on it.

“She looks really skinny…” I say to myself, “I wish I had legs like that.” I let out a long sigh, and then scroll down to the comments.

“Looking good ;)” Andrew Dawson commented.

“OMG Im jealous!! U look soooo gorgeous!! :D <3” Michaela Smith commented.

I’ve never had people comment telling me that I’m gorgeous, or even pretty.

Bothered, I shut my laptop off. “It’s time to go to bed.” I inform myself. In my room, I start changing into my comfy pyjamas. As I lift up my shirts, and tug it over my head, I notice my bare body in the tall mirror hanging still on my wall.

Studying my body, I’m pushing and pinching every part of my body.

“You look terrible!” I scream at the disgusting person in the mirror, pinching every extra body fat that I have. “What is this?!” I scream at it again. “Why are you so ugly?”

I actually start crying, no, not crying, bawling. Tears stream down my face as I finish changing into my pyjamas.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I crawl into my warm bed and quietly cry myself to sleep.

I wake up with a damp pillow. And like every other day, I start preparing myself for school. Remembering what went on last night, I still feel like a piece of crap.

I leave my house wearing loose fitting clothes.

“I don’t want anyone to see me…” I mumble.

Because I didn’t take long to get ready, I patiently wait for my bus to minutes early. Listening to some good tunes, I’m hoping they’ll cheer me up.

Two minutes gone by and I continue standing like a status, waiting. My good friend Alex from down the street makes her way to our bus stop. I give her a sad pathetic wave, and she waves back. When she reaches our bus stop she jumps and says.

“Hey!”

“Hi.” My disappointed tone crushes her happiness.

“What’s wrong?” She asks politely.

“Oh, nothing.” I reply. Alex knows me too well; she knows that something is bugging me.

“It’s nothing.” I refuse to tell her about it. She glares at me then looks up and down my body, likes she’s analysing me. I think she just realized my problem, because her eyes just got instantly softer. She steps towards me, and hugs me.

“You’re beautiful, you really are. I’m like jealous of you most of the time. And if someone can’t see that, well something is seriously wrong with them. You don’t need to be super skinny like every super star to be beautiful. You are beautiful and it’s very obvious. Being you is real beauty.”

Alex holds me as I process everything she just told me. And she’s totally right. I am beautiful, no matter what my weight is. I‘m beautiful because I’m me, no one else.

“Thank,” I hug her back, “You’re beautiful too.”

So.... what did you think? I know, I know, the ending is sooo cheesy. But hey, who doesn't like cheese?
Please comment if you liked it or if you have any questions :) Oh and by the way, all the names were changed and I honestly don't know how much I weigh. I havn't checked in months, I'm just assuming it's around that.
Anyhoo, have a great night :)

Love you,


Laura <3
