I’m still here!
Hi, guys!
I haven’t posted any new articles for a while. Sorry about that. Have I been busy? Yes. You can say that. Keep reading to find out what I’ve been up to.

I started preparing the documents for my university applications which makes me kind of nervous but extremely enthusiastic at the same time. They are almost ready, by the way. Yesterday I finished the first draft of my personal statement/letter of application, and I am so elated. I still have some corrections and adjustments to make but I’m so proud of myself. I was so stressed about writing it, knowing that it is quite important for my application that I got freaked out and my writing muse was gone. But I manned up and wrote it anyway. I think it turned out pretty well.
I’ve been reading to distract and cheer myself up. Just finished "The Lightning Thief" - the first book in the ”Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series by Rick Riordan - definitely recommend it. I will share what else I’ve been reading in the next "Books" article. Unfortunately, I have no idea when I will write it and post it in the blog.
In addition, I’ve been making birthday cards. I want to call them gift cards, because they are not strictly birthday themed, but I don’t know if that’d be correct. Anyway, here are some pictures. I also make photo frames. I don’t know if I have mentioned this before. I want to make an entire article about it. Again, don’t know when that will happen.

What else, what else? Oh! I got to use my 35 mm analogue SLR camera. I had a colour film in it left from the last time I used it. This is a bit odd for me, though. I have this huge fascination with analogue cameras, and we have at least 3 of them, but no one really explained or showed me how to use one until recently. Plus I'm always afraid I will break them. So I am inexperienced in this area. However, I would love to learn more and I’m determined to improve my abilities. After all, that’s why I'm going to university - to learn, practice, and become a better photographer. Man, I'm so excited!
Random facts:
1. It makes me extremely happy when people think of me when they see something connected to photography. Some of my friends did it recently. I like to think that is because they support me and believe I’ll become a successful photographer. It just warms my heart.
2. Kim Cesarion’s song Undressedalbums is my current favorite . I’m listening to it repeatedly. Plus two albums by The XX. They are on repeat as well. I’ll save the rest for the next “Music” article.
3. I’ve been watching a lot of interviews with Jennifer Lawrence in YouTube. I liked her before but now I love her. She’s so crazy awesome and funny, and inspiring, and down to earth at the same time. Here are two of my fav videos with her.

4. I’ve been wanting to make a “Favourite Vloggers” article for such a long time but I haven’t got to it yet. So here is my most fav vlogger – Christine Riccio – and her YouTube channels polandbananas20 and polandbananaBOOKS.
Here are also two of my favourite videos of hers. If you haven't read the books she's talking about, the first one (Pronunciation Problems) probably won't be very interesting for you but it cracks me up and makes me laugh every time I watch it. The second one (CONNOISSEUR) is just as much fun. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I can’t think of anything else right now. It is 3 o’clock in the morning as I’m writing this sentence. I should probably go to sleep but I missed spending time on my blog. I don’t know if anybody besides my close friends follows it or reads any of my posts. I hope you do. Anyhow, I just wanted to share what I’ve been doing and things that I’ve been excited about. This sure as hell is not all of them, but it will do for now.
Well, that’s it guys. Thank you for reading! I really appreciate it. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section below. I would love to read them.
Till we meet again!
