crappy weather and good music

   Stuck home,wearing fluffy leggings and studying for my exams. Doesn't sound so bad,does it?! That's how I spent my day,mainly because Bucharest is now under a cover of heavy snow. The schools are closed, the kids are happy and I go on,agonizing over the endocrine system.

                                     

drinking hot tea from my snowman cup just to celebrate

the winter-y weather   

The previous weekend was amazing. I finally bought the new Mumford&Sons album for my record player and also, I finally tried eating macarons. Loved it. Now, every time I listen to the album I feel like I'm part of a Haruki Murakami novel. I also found the book "Into the wild" and just started reading it. I sure hope it will be as good as the movie which is one of my favourites.

On Sunday I went out with Cris and two good friends to a nearby tea-house. The place was really nice and the company great.

we sat in the French Room of the tea-house

My favourite song from the album:  

  

the joy of having a dog

    I think I've said it many,many times before: I probably love my dogs more than most people I know. I honestly don't understand how a human being could be capable of hating or even worse, hurting a dog.

   
       My two dogs, Maya and Dexter, make my days a thousand times better. From the moment I wake up until I go to bed,they are so full of life,so loving that I sometimes feel like I don't deserve them.
       And Maya is such an amazing addition to our family! Even when she pees herself becase she's too happy, I find it cute and funny!

     
         There's nothing I love more than annoying them or loving them too much. Because,let's be honest: you just can't ignore a dog!

                                                                               

stuck in a rut

   I've been sitting at my desk for about 10 minutes wondering how I should start this post. I feel as if nothing exceptional has happened since I last wrote here. I'm stuck in a rut. And what's amazing is that I think right now is the greatest moment to be sticking to the same boring routine. Exams are just around the corner and the fact that when I come home after 7 hours of school,I study for another 3-4 hours couldn't hurt,right?

                                          spent a relaxing day in Predeal with my family

   However, I still try reading/watching tv series/spending some time on the internet/going to the gym every other day because I don't want to become a complete nut job.  

   Things that help me relax right now:

• reading 'The Great Gatsby'. I like it a lot.
• watching 'The Big C' : a sad story presented with a funny twist. 
• browsing this amazing blog :  http://fuckyouverymuch.dk/ 

    So that's about it.

    Ah, also, this is my favourite scene from 'The Big C':

                                         

busy bee

  Between attending classes,going to kangoo,watching my favourite tv shows, reading and spending quality times with my friends,I hardly found the time to keep up with the blogosphere. I think it has almost been 2 weeks since I last wrote here and a lot of things have happened.

   
  I spent a lot of time with L. and got closer to her ( and not only because we both find it hard to keep up with the routine at the gym ).

   
     We also celebrated my sister's birthday by going out with L and her mother. We went to grab a bite at an Italian restaurant and finished the day at the National Theatre.

         
         I chose to spend Valentine's Day with Radu, curled up in bed. And yes, we skipped school for that. But we had a really great day!

         I've been listening to this a lot:

                                                                                             

highlights of the week

       

•   did a DIY project. possibly the easiest I could find:

            Inspired by Serena's sweater ( I'm finally watching the 6th season of Gossip Girl), I realized I could just cut an old sweater and make it look chic.

                                 

                                                                            vs.

                                      It's not really great,but I had fun wearing it to school.    

•   started reading a book for school and I'm not into it as much as I would like
•   watched "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and loved Hushpuppy
•   tried kangoo jumps for the very first time. it was awesome.
•   went out with The Boy and danced all night long.                                 

you know you had a good day

...when at the end of a painfully long day, your boyfriend sends you this message: ''I know I'm young, but if I had to choose her or the Sun, I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun."

             Love you, babe!             

6 more months

   My last semester of highschool has started and I find it hard to believe I've survived until now! Just 6 more months and I'll be free. The winter holiday was amazing. I had a lot of fun and managed to do a lot of the things I wanted to accomplish.

   
    Bucharest is again a big mess. Even though last week the streets were covered with fluffy, immaculate snow, today I couldn't find a trace of it. My street is wet and dirty and I wish I could move to a warm,nice place where I could get a tan while drinking a cold drink.

   
      I've started studying for my exams and I've come to wish I was homeschooled. I manage to do a ton of work while I'm home and procrastinate for 7 hours while I'm at school. Yup, the Romanian educational system rocks!
