It's rather surprising how much things can change in the space of a few weeks. These holidays have been incredibly different to any of the ones I have had before, in the sense that I haven't gone away from home, and I have been working through them. I have been asked to stay on at the milkshake parlour after the holidays, which will be good as I will still be able to afford things when I'm in sixth form.
I think that having a job has taught me to really appreciate the time that I have to myself. I try to do things that I really enjoy on my days off, so that I don't feel as though they have been wasted.
I've had a change of face in recent weeks, as I have had my fixed braces put on. I don't mind them that much now, but when I first got them I was very upset with the way they made me look and my self esteem took a blow. I went to a friend's party feeling miserable and ugly. In the space of a few hours my perceptions had radically changed, both of myself and of other people. I don't feel quite so invisible any more.
These past few days have been very happy. I hope it continues.

You felt miserable and ugly?! Well, emma, you have to understand this. You are gorgeous. Simple as that. And I know for a fact that everyone else we know thinks exactly the same. And in my eyes you were never invisible.
