What should I post on dA?

Before I write anything else, can I just say that America legalised gay marriage and it's wonderful! The world is becoming a better place! So proud of America for celebrating love <3 
In other news, I've had economics and law tutoring and it's so interesting!!! I'm so glad I picked it as a subject for next year.
Also, I feel like my deviantART account has become useless :/

Embroidery

Sometimes I remember things for no particular reason. And what I mean by that is I'll be sitting there, doing something, and then, out of nowhere, a memory comes to mind. 
Today I just can't stop thinking about this moment from my first year of school. I remember I signed up for the drawing club after school, which took place in the art room on the ground floor of the school. There weren't many people there so we all sat at the back of the classroom, facing each other around a couple if desks, which were pushed together. At the front of the classroom, however, there was another club. It was embroidery and the lady in charge of it was your typical Russian "babooska". I came to see what they were doing out of curiosity and decided to do embroidery instead of drawing. I remember the babooska told us stories about god and Jesus and Adam and Eve and the bible... For instance, I can clearly recall the moment when I was busy trying to put a piece of thread through the needle and she was telling us a story about the Babylon tower. But the memory that came to me today wasn't related to her, but another girl at the embroidery club. I have a bad memory for faces, but I know for sure that the girl was blond and had straight hair. Her name was Liza and she was in 7th Grade. I think she also had an older sister in 9th Grade. I just remember Liza sitting in front of me, asking me how school was going and whether I was enjoying it. She must be in her twenties now.

Wanting to procrastinate by reading

Here's a perfect genetically modified watermelon for your enjoyment!
Looked at the list of eBooks on my iPad, hoping to find something to read. Found the PDF of the book I had to buy a paper copy of just to tear out a page. Couldn't read it again whatsoever.

Absolution

I fell asleep under the stars last night which was great. I was listening to "spacy" music, while looking at the stars and it was amazing. Normally, I would spend these kind of moments thinking about life, but yesterday I realised that I don't really have anything to think about anymore. I mean ever since I wrote my book, I just can't think! Maybe it's because I'm happy.

Back

So the other day I managed to produce what looks like a story. (I got rid of it after realising how flat the characters are.) In that story, two girls go to a cafe for coffee before one of them leaves to the airport to go to England. Suddenly, one of the girls hears "Take 5" playing in the background and tells her friend about it. Just a simple story with no plot. When I went to see Yasmin on Friday, it actually happened! We weren't sitting in a cafe, but when we were walking I suddenly heard "Take 5". Yasmin is also leaving to England. News presenter's voice: coincidence? I think not.
On my way to Montenegro I finished reading "Nothing to Envy". I don't have much to say about it, apart from the fact that it's great! If I were to compare it to "Escape from Camp 14", another book I read on North Korea, "Nothing to Envy" is a lot better. A great thing about it is that as much as it talks about the regime, it isn't bias against any government system, equally criticising both the North Korean and the Western way of life. Coincidentally, as I was reading about Mrs Song's husband, who was a journalist who literally rewrote the news, I was listening to "The Resistance" by Muse. Such dystopia. Very 1984. Wow. 
Started learning economics today. Well, trying my best to. No way I'm taking history of arts next year! 
The scenery is so distracting!!! 
I described this "paysage" for my French class over 1000 times xD

Blanks

The sky looks beautiful today and I'm staring at another blank Word document. I wish there were auditions for characters so you could pick potential candidates for the main role. I hate having to struggle over something that's not supposed to be hard. Why is it that whenever I sit down to write I just get annoyed and want to flip tables?

Talking to my past self

Last year I had an amazing summer, so, when it ended, I put all the memories (plane tickets, hotel cards, etc.) into a box to open on the 1st of June 2015. I also wrote a letter to my future self, which I found quite interesting. In that letter, I asked myself many questions, which I decided to answer here. Although this is very very narcissistic, I figured it would be fun to write some kind of response to my past self.

How did your exams go because I'm a bit stressed?
Wow, past me... Wowww.... I think I've forgotten the feeling of being stressed a long time ago. Overall, the exams went well, so don't worry too much. By the time you're on study leave, you'll be 100% ready to pass the exams, without giving a damn.
Which college are you going to?
Ha. Ha. Hmm, yeah all of your hopes and dreams will come true one day. One day. *nervous laughter*
Do you still want to be a photographer?
Ha. Ha.
Mum is wondering, how are your German grades?
What? This is so random. Well, my German exam is tomorrow. Otherwise, I think they're okay. Got a "satisfactory" for effort in all of my report cards.
What's your hight?
Tall. Just tall.
What are your political views?
Why? I don't think they've changed much since the time I wrote that letter.
What's your favourite vocaloid song? Mine is "Never".
Don't know, sorry. I don't listen to vocaloid that much any more. I've forgotten all of my favourites throughout the year.
Do you learn Japanese?
I tried. You're a huge weeaboo, you know that?

The contents of the box gave me so many feels. I wish I could go back to London. TT__TT Anyway, I think I'll make a box like that by the end of this summer as well. I wonder how much everything will change by the time it's the 1st of June 2016. The future scares me.
