Dear God, EXAMS and sad films (╥_╥)

 Hiii! (ノ´ з `)ノ
College is a fun thing. I literally begged to get in, and now I beg to get out. I study the only thing I ever wanted (and one useless minor I have been regreting since day one) and that still isn´t enough. Well, it would be, but working while studying wasn´t the best decision. Nevermind. 

Just going throught it


I was in Paris for a student conference and man, do I feel like that would make a fun article :D. I represented my university as best as I could, which meant that my phone broke down on day 3 so I spent rest of the conference running around trying to fix that, and that I just did not attent day 4. And day 1 was only for council members so I did not represent that much. 
This was more about the journey that about the destination I think :D.

Ohh, and I finally got the Karma solid parfume from Lush. I could not stop thinking about it since London. Now that I have it, we are practically inseparable. My twin sister got one too, so we are finally matching in something. But maybe it´s too much, thanks to the rich, spicy scent the whole neighbourhood knows when we are both home.  

As for my social life, right now it´s either my work at the hotel or studying. And since I work nights, my days often look like this: sleep - study - nap - work - sleep.
How pathetic does this sound? ( ╥ω╥ )

On the flip side, I completed almost all of my courses - except for Czech Cinema 2, The Migration Period + Roman Empire and Philosophy. To be fair, I should have copleted Philosophy two days ago, but since the test was online and I did not attend any of the lectures during the semester, I did not realize that I will need a password. One that was written in the classroom where all of my classmates were. 
Next time, I will know better, but it still pisses me off. Firstly because I was so dumb, and secondly because this could have been my first semester without second tries.
Once again nevermind, I would probably have to repeat anyway, I spent way too much time learning for my other subjects. 

Also, my studying may not be the most effective one, as I watch movies as the background noise. I can just never make myself study otherwise :D. 
Usually I watch my old favourites, but sometimes new gems. So far, I have seen Brockeback Mountain (again. And as always, I was unconsolable afterwards), My Own Private Idaho, which is AMAZING, I can´t believe I saw it only now, What´s Eating Gilbert Grape (my summer ultimate) and few others because they were giving Americana. Right now I really don´t want to go the US, but I still like imagining myself on the road trip few decades ago. 
After my Americana kick, I went for French and Chinese cinema - I will forever love Farewell, My Concubine. It hurts in all the right places and it´s magnificent to look at. Next on my list is Happy Together, even though I do get the feeling that I will cry my eyes out. 
For the French part, it´s Belmondo time I guess. I always saw myself as Alain Delon or Jean Marais girlie, Belmondo was my pops old (and new, he still loves him) flame. I think that I´m aging, because I started to enjoy Belmondo and his movies way more than I thought. Of course, I grew with some of his flicks, but only now I´m starting to actually appreciate them. 
He is just very charismatic and so much fun. I even wanted him for my bachelor thesis, but sadly none of our teachers wanted to supervise it, so I will write about Adina Mandlová instead. It´s still gonna be fun, but come on, Jean-Paul Belmondo. 



Let´s not judge me based on my taste. Right now, I´m vibing with Pierrot le Fou, not only for it´s anarchistic approach to plot, but also because I´m visiting Côte d'Azur soon. 

As for music, it´s a lot of gulu gulu right now, after reign of Oasis, The Kinks and Cat Stevens. I really just need a vacation, I guess. 

Do you have any cool quizzes? I work 12 hours shifts and it´s starting to get really boring, so anything is appreciated :D.

Take the quiz at emocowboy.neocities.org
