A scene from 'Adventureland'

Hey there. Last time I wrote here, I was quite angry and emotional. I couldn't control myself and had to just write whatever was on my mind, since there was no one I can talk to about it. Just in case you want to know, everything is under control now -at least I would like to think so- and I am quite calmed down. I mean I have to be calmed by now, since it was what more than a week ago?

These days I am studying for my finals. I have five exams this week and next week. They are not terribly difficult, just a little challenging. If I spend some time studying for each subject, I will be fine. I feel that my French has improved a lot, compared to when I first came here. I was hopelessly lost and felt like a total idiot, not understanding a thing what others were saying. Still I smile at whatever I don't understand, but I do understand a lot now. Even when I was listening to the radio this morning, I could understand what they were talking about, which was about the new French president, Francois Holllande, who is going to go to have a meeting with other European leaders to discuss about Greece's current financial situation. So, school will be over very soon, actually in two weeks. If I were at high school, I would be jumping up and down with joy and excitement, but now I am not actually in a 'school,' I am not as excited as I might have been. I need to figure out what I am going to do for summer, and afterwards as well. I guess I will try to work in summer, but the thing is, it seems to be so hard to find jobs, since I don't speak very good French. I will have to look into that. After summer I think I will continue study French in Sorbonne. Maybe I will try to apply to other language schools if there is any good ones.

Anyway, I recently started to watch all the movies in which Kristen Stewart play, except, of course, for Twilight series. I am sorry, but I really don't get it. I think it's just lame. All it does is provoking false fantasy of some weird vampires. Teenage girls develop ridiculous ideas about supernatural creatures, which I believe don't exist. But her other movies are great. Her acting is great, the stories are touching. I first saw her in a movie 'Speak,' and was surprised by how well she acted. Then there are other movies like 'The Cake Eaters,' 'Adventureland,' and 'Welcome to the Rileys.' She seems to  be assigned to play as a bit dark characters. She coveys the emotions well, and maybe that is why? I made a list of her movies that I want to watch, and have already watched. I am going to check all the list maybe by the end of July. 5 down, 8 to go, so good luck for me.

The weather has been incredibly perfect for staying at home and study, that is to say, shitty. People in other countries all seem to be wearing shorts and short sleeves by now, but not in Paris. Let's take today, in the morning when I woke up, I saw blue sky, but now it's as milky and depressing as it can be. It looks like it is going to pour soon, but maybe it won't. I hope it gets better by the time my exams are over. Can't wait for a long sunny day.
