Life lately : King's offer

                                      

Big news! I just got an offer from King's College London. I am just soooo happy! London life for sure next year, I just can't wait. I am now waiting for the other unis to make my final choice but it is already amazing. I am pretty sure I'll get the grades for King's so it is not the thing I am worrying about. 
International Development is something really particular. Other unis only teach International Relations, which is the good point of King's. I am currently looking at all the accomodations, making pros and cons lists ect.. like a psycho. Because yes, I am a psycho. I still have time to search about it but it's actually a good way to procrastinate as I have my winter exam session next week, right before the holidays. Thank you, dear school! I have a lot of horrible maps to learn, chapters and chapters of economics and history and also all this maths stuffs. And I am still sitting in front of my computer watching Youtube videos and looking at online shops. As I have the best parents ever and they are really proud of me, I can choose big presents for Christmas. I don't really know what I want. A luxury bag, a new camera/lens, a new laptop ?.. I am pretty sure I will only be able to make my choice when Christmas Holidays will be over. 
So here is what's happening in my life recently. I have so many musics/readings/movies I have to talk about... But I can't find the time! I hope I will find some during my holidays.

Life lately : Cambridge Interview

The picture has nothing to do with the article, but it is one of my favourites I have ever made.

The main thing that happened to me recently was my interview at Cambridge. Yes, I received a letter saying that I was invited for an interview. Can you believe how amazing this is ? I was so kind of shocked. Anyway, two weeks later I took my flight for London and then my train to Cambridge. One night of sleeping, and the big moment happened. I didn't even notice how fast time went. I wasn't even feeling alive. It was a weird feeling, an amazing experience. It was more a discussion than a question-answer thing. They mostly went deeper into the things I have said in my personal statement. I think it was more about the way I explained and justified my answers than if I said a right or a wrong thing. When I think of it, I was so nervous about it! Wow! I have looked around all the websites on Internet about interviews, politics, international relations, potential questions... Everything. I didn't know how to prepare at all, and I was scared that my level of english was weak but apparently it is okay. I spent my life on thesudentroom. (And I still do, because I am wainting for my other universities answers!)
Anyway, this being done I need to focus on my senior year now. Which is kind of boring actually. I am bored at school, I just realised it. Since my head is on universities, I want something more than what I have right now. I want challenges, I want to be captivated... But it is still necessary to work so I should not give up. (I actually felt asleep during my philosophy test last Saturday. I bet my grade will be so low for this one I will never fall asleep again!) I received my highscool transcript today, it was okay. I thought it was a lot worse so if I work more it will be perfect. 
I have deeper thoughts I will come up with. But I think that this article will be interesting to read next year when I will be at uni. I really do hope that I will be accepted to any I applied for in UK. Cambridge (at Downing), LSE, UCL, King's, Warwick. I don't want to stay in Paris. Really. But I actually think I have already done an article about that. (hashtag gold fish memory)
My computer is going to sleep now, and I'm am too lazy to give him an electricity juice. So... Peace out! (I need to stop saying this. Thank you Bad Girls Club!)

Why did I even publish last post ? 
Anyway, I still feel like writing. My blog has no structure but no one is reading so I shouldn't care about that. But if someone is reading I don't think that should change anything my brain has no structure either. 
I am brainstorming too much. But this is since I was a little girl so I'm used to it. I personnaly think that brainstorming is important because you're more laid back and you think more when shit happens. I am a very "zen" person, I think a lot before I act, and I never act crazy. People tell me that the more you think the less you live but I don't think so. Thinking helps you to make less mistakes. But I admit that sometimes you should forget a little bit your mind (with moderation) and act with your heart. And it is when you do that that real things happen to you. I don't mean things like "do cocain" but for exemple tell the person you love that you do even if your brain tell you no to. Crazy stuffs never really happened to me. Okay I lived funny stuffs but no "wow" stuffs. But I don't search for it, if it has to come, it will. It is when you don't search that you find. I would like to point out something though. It is not by laying in your bed that you will have the crazy life you want to have. It is like in the famous drawing (I don't even know if it began with a drawing but anyway) were it is said that "Where the magic happens is out of your comfort zone." And I think that it is pretty much true. 

That's it for today I guess. 

Fuck it

I wrote a post and blogger didn't save it. I hate it I feel pissed off right now. It's just so annoying I don't feel like writing anymore for the moment. Maybe later, maybe tomorow. As a reminder for myself in case I decide to write it again it was talking about : 
- how The Perks was inspiring me
- the tones of work knocking me out
- why my biggest wish by now is to get in  my unis in England

Time capsule


Sleeping Lessons  The Shins

Hello guys, how you doing ?
So I created this blog only a few weeks ago, and I already feel bored. I think it's probably because it doesn't really look like me, and also because I think it's useless the way it is.
The thing is, last night at school I had a deep, serious, and powerful discussion with a friend of mind about life, future, ambition and happiness. We were on our way to the showers and this discussion came out very easily. So we sat there for one hour and half, talking like grown-ups. To be honest, it was the purest moment of my month. We had the idea to write a time capsule. We'd both write our actual thoughts, our projections of ourself in 5,10 and 20 years, give it to eachother and then wait to meet again. But later I thought: I have a blog, and Internet is one of the thing that is normally going to be there for a long long long time, so why not use this as a time capsule ? Why not write here everything ? My thoughts, my fears, my dream, and my life in general ? I don't think that talking about things I bought is very important for me. Being a beauty/fashion blogger is just not for me. And I think it's better like that. I prefer food and music. (lol) I'm still going to talk about my -way too boring- life, and I think it's going to be more "personal".
And it's probably the reason why this blog is entitled "the exposed diary".

Music crush - Keaton Henson


Hello guys, how have you been lately ?
Basically, weather is getting colder and colder, and I feel more and more tired and sad for no reason. I don't know if I'm the only one feeling especially sad during autumn and winter. (I hope I'm not alone, please tell me you're like me!)
I don't want to bother you with my sad thoughts, it's NOT cool at all! If you don't feel like I do, you need to pop out and dance and sing and laugh! (don't worry, I'm not suicidal either, I still laugh!)
Anyway, this post was supposed to present you my music crush. Music is all my life, basically. I sleep, talk, drink, breathe music. Seriously, I can't imagine where I would have been in my life if music didn't exist. (and food too... Even if I know that if food didn't exist, i wouldn't have been obsessed with my - too high - weight)

SO. Let me introduce you to one of the best piece of talent I've heard. (for broken, lost, misguided, mindfucked, painful or quiet souls)

Keaton Henson is a English folk-indie-rock musicians, and also a poet and visual artist. His songs are simple, but powerful. His music, lyrics, and fragile voice simply get deep into your ears, and souls. It's the kind of music you listen too when you're in a mind-blowing mode, when you want to be alone.
When I listen to him, i just want to hug him and want him to hug me at the same time, and tell me that everything is going to be okay.
He is a pure diamond. In the same way that Bon Iver is (and if you get me started on Bon Iver, I'm never going to end my "he's-basically-my-music-god speech". So don't do that!).
He has two album yet: Dear... , and Birthdays. And both are amazing. The only critic I might do is that both are almost the same, but it's still a pleasure for your ears to listen to them.

So here are a few songs I love, I hope you'll like it as much as I do.
Tell me what you think about it!
