Petite La Fleur

The Louvre - the largest museum in Paris of art Appealing to the eye, appealing to the heart From pyramids to the Mona Lisa There’s portraits of everyone, including Mother Teresa. Strangers gather and wait in long lines To see all the beauty and one-of-a-kind’s To walk through it all would take months on end Which is why visitors come again and again. One after one they gaze at the art work Again and again they appear, like clockwork However, when the warning bell went off Seemingly too soft, There were three who didn’t hear Three who didn’t disappear. There was an American tourist of the age seventeen, Teenage boy with a desire to be seen. When the warning rang, his headphones in He was admiring a painting of Berlin. Coming with his family, they ditched him there With no desires to see the art, not a single care So he went all alone, story of his life No need to argue or cause a strife. He came to the Louvre after the Eiffel Tower Even si...

Hey guys! So although we went out for dinner for my brother's 14th birthday yesterday, today was his actual birthday!! 14... wow. Anyway, for the past 4 years, my biggest "tradition" for his birthday was sticky notes. The first year, I just put one in his lunchbox. But over the years, I've filled his entire door with Happy Birthday sticky notes, a Sticky Note Yellow Brick Road, and a house sticky note invasion... This year I woke up at 4:30 AM (to make sure it was done before he woke up) to make a sticky note big 14 on his door :) I also managed to get a little dressed up since I was up so early. I wore a blue dress, tights, and my light pink scarf. At 7:00, Heather picked me up for school and we dropped off her brother before getting to campus. I stayed on the computer working on some homework and stuff until English at 1:45 where we turned in our weekend assignment, finishing the Canterbury Tales, and took notes on Sonnets and Shakespeare, since that'l...

Heyyy. :) Today was a bit better, I've still been feeling a little sick but oh well. This morning I had a doctor's appointment at 8 am to discuss my dietary switch to Vegetarianism and they did some blood work to make sure I'm all good. Then my mom dropped me off at school and I worked on some homework and then we went to the UC to get some lunch before I had class. In English we talked about the Pardoner's Tale from the Canterbury Tales (we had to read it for homework) and then we took a 7 Deadly Sins Quiz where I learned my two most prominent sins are Wrath and Pride. Which, honestly, I'm not surprised. I do get frustrated easily and lash out on people (I've gotten better at it) and one of my biggest pet peeves is being embarrassed in front of people. For example, if someone makes me look foolish or stupid, I hate it and then I get angry (hence the Wrath). So yeah. After class I stopped by Starbucks to get a Gingerbread loaf (in fact I got two) and th...

This morning I woke up around 7 and finished reading The Impossible Knife of Memory  by Laurie Halse Anderson while Leo lay in my lap. Then I decided to eat breakfast, a bagel with cream cheese and greek yogurt with granola. Then I sort of just slumped around with Mr. Darcy all morning :) I then decided to order some books on Amazon: Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf.  In English we finished typed our College Admissions Essay and turned in it via Google Docs. Then in Government, we finished our presentations and had a short powerpoint for notes. Lastly, I had ballet which went well. (:
