Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe

Yes, it is indeed June 1st. I can’t believe it’s already June, its really quite shocking. Today was a pretty good day, even though I only slept 2 hours last night because I had to stay up finishing my art appreciation project I finished it and got an A+ on it! I also found out I got 100% on my French oral exam which is quite exciting. I also managed to eat 3 slices of cake today, which just made everything better. It also happens to be Marilyn Monroe’s birthday today, so happy birthday! I can’t believe school ends in 12 days, 12 hours, 3 minutes and 45 seconds quite frightening, and then it’s goodbye Cape Town (sadly) and hello Dubai… again. I’m actually not looking very forward to it, I was hoping I’d get to stay in Cape Town for at least over six months, but of course a better job offer came along and my father decided to take it. But the fact that I know that I’ll be back in a year visiting makes me a very excited person. I already miss everyone and I haven’t even left yet. It’s going to feel incredibly weird not seeing everyone everyday, especially the seniors, even if I was staying… it would’ve felt so bizarre not seeing them in their bright red shirts wandering around in the hallways discussing their AP exams and Senior Projects and all the latest gossip. After 3 hours of studying for final exams I am TIRED. They start on Tuesday which really worries me, english first, which is always quite easy, then geography which luckily, doesn’t require any studying, then french which should be moderately easy, then comes math. Complete and utter death. Even worse, my last exam is in fact science… which is just as bad as math. It will be a disaster. Even with all the stress (due to exams), it was still an excellent day.
