Yes, I'm caught up! So far season 6 hasn't been as interesting as I thought, but still interesting, I can't really remember what most of the episodes were about ;A; except the recent one, which was a Spike episode, he got his own solo song and I'm glad about it lol. Starlight seems to be doing fairly well, I loved the episode with her and Trixie. And gosh that early Christmas episode was awesome in my opinion. But yeah, so far season 6 has been focusing on Starlight, some of the episodes at least.

I hope your second semester (if you've started it) has been going good!

And also with Equestria Girls though! Don't get me wrong, unlike most people I actually kinda enjoyed it? At least the first and second movie, but Friendship Games and Everfree just feel so... different. They completely threw away the sirens, and while I love Sunsets redemption, she seems so... different, starting at Friendship Games. DX

My second semester is good so far. I've been mainly busy and  I have a few competitions coming up so those are taking some studying haha. 

Honestly, yes, I've enjoyed Equestria Girls, I feel like everyone's just butthurt about the whole human thing, but I can see where they come from. I loved the second movie especially because of the music and sirens. I'd agree, too, the franchise redeems character's way too fast.

Aww thanks haha! I just finished writing my finals today, actually! I'm hoping I did well, buut French has been draining me for so long and the exam through me for a loop. *~* I hope I pass by at least a 50% at this point, because otherwise I'll fail the class. DX Also ooh your school does Spanish? That's cool! I wish mine had Spanish classes lmao. French is... an interesting language to learn lol. And that's good to hear!! I hope you do well on your competitions!! ^~^

Ohh yeah. DX Honestly I didn't mind it! Maybe it was because at the time when it came out I was the younger audience lmao, but for me it was pretty interesting! And same! Rainbow Rocks was the best of them all in my opinion. The way they handled Sunset Shimmers redemption was really good, but after that... eeeeh they kind of ruined it I guess, especially with the way she was yelling at Human Twilight in Friendship Games, but I guess I could kind of see where she was coming from. I really want them to bring back the sirens, but now I'm afraid they'll just redeem them too quick like all the others. :c

I hope your doing great in your French class! I'm sure you can do it, I believe in you!! 
Yeah, I agree, French is an interesting language haha. The reason my school doesn't offer it though is because they feel the French language is too hard for the students. But yeah, Spanish is fine haha. The hardest thing for me is the accents for the letters. 
And my competitions were fine, just in two months, all of them on a different island so it's been 4 weeks of back and forth between islands. The most recent one was just this week, Feb 22 to 24. I'm glad I'm back home haha. I'd say I did pretty well with these competitions. 

I agree, Sunset seemed a bit too mean, but yeah I know where she's coming from. And I would LOVE for the sirens to come back, but really the franchise just redeems villains too quickly. I'm sure there will be plenty of other great villains, who I hope won't be redeemed, or at least time is taken, not just one episode/movie.

AAAAAAAAAA I passed with a 50%, definitely not the best but hey!! I passed, and I'm super happy I made it! xD But aww thanks!
Ohh! Yeah, I can understand lol. French is pretty hard to get a grasp of, though I always imagined Spanish would be harder?? 
Aaa that's good to hear!! I'm sure you did amazing on your competitions, and whoaa different islands?? I've never been outside of Canada for anything lol. You get to see a bunch of different places though, that's pretty cool!! But yeah, homes the best. xD

Aaa yeah!! I don't know, I really like Sunset and thought they handled her redemption well, but her blowing up at Twilight in Friendship Games really bugged me, because it was almost like she reverted back to her old self. *~* And same! It seems either they completely throw away the villain plot, or redeem it too quickly. I'd love to see closure for the sirens, but not where they're redeemed in an hour of a movie or so. I'm glad (and hoping) their going to take things slow with Chrysalis at least, lol.

That's great!! I'm glad you were able to pass! : ) 
I suppose it depends on the person. I have an easy time with Spanish mainly because I'm Filipino and it's a bit related to Spanish. So I think French is a bit harder for me to pick up haha. 
Haha, yeess! I tried my best there, and there's always a chance to improve next year :3 Hmm, I think a better way to put it is the same island haha. All my competitions were on a neighboring island. I've pretty much memorized the scenery of that island because of all these competitions. xD  I hope someday you can travel outside of Canada! Traveling is fun, especially with my school mates haha.

OohH YeAh! I agree, her yelling at Twilight in that movie was off to me. Though I see she's just trying to protect her friends and control the magic to a point where no one gets hurt, I still think the writers could have done it differently. I'm also concerned with the mini-obstacles that the characters face. Like in the first movie with the whole Twilight destroyed the dance decorations and stuff, Flash just came waltzing in and the problem was fixed faster than Rainbow Dash can say "awesome" xD. And yeah, I do hope they go slow with Chrysalis.

Aaa yeah!! I'd LOVE to visit France, especially since we (apparently) need to take a test in a few years to certify we're bilingual, I think we should be in a french-speaking environment for awhile. Also, it'll be fun! And that's alright!!! Afsgdsd if anything I'm sorry for not responding as well, schools also been a kick, but luckily I just finished for summer break!! And whoooaaa AP Chemistry and AP English kagfsdhsd that's impressive, here in Canada we don't have AP classes but I heard they're a lot harder. Regardless, I know I'm responding very late, but I'm sure you scored really high on all of those!! c: I just finished kafdgdsds, I'm happy with my final marks but for my french geography I ended up getting a 77%! Which is I guess ok, considering I was practically failing the course last semester lmAO. 

Ooh I still need to watch season 7!! I've only watched the first two, I hope it's been interesting so far!! It's definitely... different, then when the show started obviously, but I think the new direction their taking, especially with the changelings becoming good will make the show more interesting lol. Also, they released the movie trailer!! I'm kind of excited, the animation is different but it's really cute. xD

Really? I actually didn't know about bilingual certification. I agree though, I think it's better to be in an environment surrounded by the actual language. 
Yaaasss summer break woot woot, I hope you enjoy it. School starts up for me in 3 weeks and I still haven't started my english homework. AP is definitely harder but a lot of studying helps ahaha. 
Congratulations that sounds amazing! You did an amazing job, I'm sure

I'd say it's been interesting. Although I'm not that hyped as I used to be. I guess it's all the school work and other interests haha. Episode 13 is my all time favorite though, I really love it!

Aaaa yes!! And aaaww, i'm sorry to hear that. DX Yea, it definitely sounds like it would be a lot harder! And aww, thank you, haha. It's definitely not the best, but I tried and I'm happy with what I got!! xD

I've been doing well, I asked my crush to prom and he actually said yes! >3< But besides that, I have a C in chemistry because the teacher started doing chapter tests instead of quarter tests so I did quite bad on those. The only reason he did it was because everyone (except me and a few friends) kept failing the quarter tests. Ugh, honestly I'd say everyone's just not prepared for AP chem but they should be. I just hope I can make do with a B because it still counts as an A since it's weighted.

I had all summer to watch mlp (and svtfoe tbh) but I missed the opportunity lol. But watching it on double speed sounds like a good idea actually!!
