Blogger of the Month:
I'm all for meeting new blog buddies, and I have been able to connect with more and more throughout April and May, so this month I'm giving a shoutout to Annika @ Hiding Books ! Her posts are hilarious, honest, and so worth the read, and I've been so happy to be able to communicate with her! Go give her some love!
Personally of the Month:
School has been killing me lately, and by that I mean photography. I don't want to go on a rant, but I was having so much fun in the course until we got a new teacher who has completely changed everything our old teacher built up for us! She drowns us in work and expects us to not ask for help. I'm really stressed at the moment :( ONE MORE MONTH!
The highlight of my month was going to see a musical downtown with my family! We got tickets to see Forever Plaid, which is my mom's absolute favourite musical, for her and my grandma's Mother's Day. We had such a great time! The best part was that the actors came out afterwards and we were able to meet them. I get kind of nervous in situations like that but they were so nice and we had an awesome chat. It was a really cool experience and so surreal for my musical-loving family.
That was pretty much my month! I read a lot, stressed a lot, and am really looking forward to my next month in review because by then I'll be done school. I can do this.
How was your May? Did you have a highlight?
Emily @ Paperback Princess
Well done on all the reading!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for yet another shout-out for lil ole me (*blushes.*) You rock Em!
Looks like you had a mega-fun time at the musical :)
And don't stress Em - one month 'til true chillaxing time! Plus, I promise you that school stress is not worth it (*remembers own cr*ppy school* *sighs*)
No problem Cee! Thanks for the support, school really does suck doesn't it. Who even invented it anyways?!
DeletePeople who realised the stupidity levels were getting unnaturally high ;)
DeleteWhoa congrats on such a great reading month! I only wish I could get back to reading that many books in a month. Sorry to hear about your photography class. I hope it gets better!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sierra! I'm sure you'll get there :)

DeleteSo many books- wow- sure looks like May was a very productive month for you, Emily! Hope June is just as good, or hopefully even better <3

Thank you Ruzaika, hope you have a great June as well! I was fangirling very hard lol! TWaTD was so beautiful and descriptive, that it felt as if I could not bring myself to put it down! You're very welcome p, I love hearing your opinions, especially because I agreed with everything! You're too kind as well :)
