Season.

The wind and the sun had an argument one day.

They wanted to know who was stronger, and couldn't come to an agreement.

A traveler came along, and the sun suggested a way to test.

"Whoever was able to cause the man to remove his coat- would be stronger."

The wind began to blow.

Yet the harder he blew, more the traveler clutched the coat about himself.

He sent rain and even hail.

And the traveler clung even more desperately to his coat.

Finally in despair, the wind gave up.

The Sun came out and began to shine in all it's glory upon the traveler.

And quite soon the man had removed his coat.

"How did you do that?"-asked the wind.

"It was easy"-said the sun, "I lit the day, and through gentleness I saw the outcome I wanted."

It's nearly the beginning of a new season!

-how exciting!

even though my skin colour will not be changing.

It will still be so nice to see the sun out.

Last week- contained one of the greatest nights of my life.

Who would have ever thought i would have shared seeing Relient K with some of my greatest friends?

What more could i ask for?

The next day, found once again, drink bottle had leaked through my bag and had infected my camera which is now in a critical condition.

When only soon after my mother yells out from downstairs,
"Emma, I want the camera back please."
-Now in a panicked frenzy, trying to think what you do when you've broken your family's camera.

prayed.

i kid you not.

turned it on- instead of black screen, it's now blurred and fuzzy.

kept praying!

turned back on the camera, and it is now perfect!

when you hand your broken problem over to the person who has the instruction manual, is a good idea.

Side note: School is coming to a close.

not really sure how i feel about that... (nervously laughs.)

but lets just wait and see!

Got my upper ear pierced today!

bought a little gold hoop to put in too.

and apparently you're meant to wait 6 weeks to change the ear ring.

but impatience once again took hold of me.

once i had taken the stud out, and attempted to force the little gold hoop into the small hole- i hopelessly failed.

sitting in the car of the woolworths car park trying to re-pierce my ear.

...that was a new experience!

hurry summer!
