missing in action.

sorry i have been MIA! june was a super stressful month for me and i had to basically cut off all of my fun activities to get through the last month of school and exams. speaking of exams, i probably did terribly on my math exam, but i know i did a great job on my science exam.

my job at the aquarium is going wonderfully. i have met so many great people from it so far, and i just love it. i can't wait to go back later this month. it's coming up so fast!

anyways, just a quick update so whomever reads this can know i'm not maimed or dead or something.

fish are friends, not food.

i got the job at the aquarium~ sadly, i was sick the weekend that i had to work, so i only worked saturday and missed work on sunday. i feel so bad for it, but working with a fever is no bueno.

anyways, here are a few (not so great) photos from when i got off work. fish are hard to take pictures of ;<

dear summer holidays,

please come faster so i can get out of school for the year and enjoy the sun's rays almost all day. please come faster so i can work at the aquarium. please come faster so i can see my old friends in delta. please come faster so i can spend more time with my boyfriend. please come faster so the stress of school will melt away for at least a little bit. and last but not least, please come faster so i can get new clothes and new school supplies.

polka dot dress from style by marina; everything else is from modcloth

that's just a tiny taste of everything that i want to try and get this summer for new clothes. since i'm going to be down in Vancouver for half of my summer, i'll be able to find a lot of it because the shopping is so good there. i know how to get everywhere that i want to go, so it'll be a breeze. this summer is truly going to be a great one.

also, i forgot to mention that i purchased some things off of modcloth and are eagerly awaiting them in the post. i hope they get here before i have to leave for vancouver again.

weep little lion man, you're not as brave as you were at the start.

day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want

i was browsing the web today, and i came across something truly unique. cinemagraphs as they are called. a talented young lady named Jamie Beck works hard to makes these photos, and her hard work really pays off. enjoy some of her work below.

i have no lyrics to put in this title but ow my mouth hurts

today has not been a fun day. i got my braces tightened, and a screw removed from my jaw. i'm so insanely sore right now. but i'm really glad that i got my screw removed seeing how it caused me much more discomfort having it than not having it.

in other news, i heard back from the head girl about the vancouver aquarium positions. i didn't get into the one that runs for 2 weeks, where i help run camps for kids. i'm hoping that i get accepted for the times that i want for the second position where i work as a host. fingers crossed!

it's only 8:30, but i'm going to go to bed. i'm super tired, and i really need my rest. sorry for the short post tonight.
