Take this sinking ship and point it home; We've still got time (Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Falling Slowly)

I just realised the reality of informing parents that I, their dear daughter, has failed Chem twice in a row. 43%. And that isn't a pretty picture. Its a son-of-a-bitch of a reality. It's always at this point of time wherein I panic, and regret not studying harder, though I can't quite change anything already. That panic should probably kick in 1 month before the exams where I actually can do something. Pity my reaction system is a tad delayed. And I don't seem to have conditioned to the idea of: Panic way before exam > Study > Do relatively ok > Happily ever after.

It's probably also not good that I don't think critically enough. Observing and thinking should be natural. Just not coming to me.

So there was a talk on how to write personal statements. So people get coached on how to write personal statements. Any random person's personal statement can be transformed from a bland boring one into a pretty, inspiring, lovely, memorable, unique one with some quotable quotes, some flowery language, some twist of an angle, some good grammar. And sooner than later, everybody's going to learn that with all the sample personal statements floating around.

I hate PE. My itunes is in a mess. My entire computer is in a mess. No matter what I say I am going to do to tidy it up, it never works. Too many documents lying around. Need to learn to be neater. & Apples are nice right Eliz? Haha.

Bulgaria's Abandoned Children.

Just finished watching this documentary. Reduced me to a pile of tears and a bundle of hatred for the soulless 'social workers'. I don't think I will ever understand how humans can be so callous. How could you see a child in pain, in complete need of care, of love and yet treat him/her as cattle, and walk away after manhandling them. It is not the lack of stimulation. It is the lack of love that has left the children in this state of despair. Didi still has so much hope to one day see her mom and love for someone who abandoned and condemned her to a life of misery. She says she's happy but always, the lingering shot shows that sadness in her eyes. She knows, her mom isn't coming back for her. But if one day her mom came, she would jump straight back into her arms. That's the problem with hope isn't it, that's the problem with humans. We want what hurts us. Hope is what kills us in the end.  Milen, the boy that never let his heart harden through all...
Who am I? I lost myself; And I'm finding her again; I read but I stopped. Starting once again. I enjoy photography, but I have fears; I don't fear failing, I fear the eyes of others; but I'm learning that those eyes don't matter This is my digital diary. My days. Of food, photography, travels and what ever else I love. M.
