Hello again

HAPPY DECEMBER!!

I haven't been uploading anything since nearly a month.

Yes, I did promised once that I was going to write blogs more often, but I just got caught up with life again.

With all of the exams and stuff like that I really couldn't find time to write. Sorry

During this week I will be uploading at least 3 blogs, one of them may be Christmas related...

So just bare with me for a little 

Thanks

Exams, Exams & More Exams

Recently I have been studying non-stop for my finals this year, specially for my maths and economics finals.

I have too much pressure on my shoulder right now, I'm juggling between planning a party, getting, at least, a 15 or more in my finals, dance rehearsals (did I forget to mention that I'm having a really important party that same day) three times a week, going to the gym every week day, having my chinese classes, and doing regular homework.

Stress, Stress, STRESS!

I would much rather like to be reading all day, and going out with my friends, literally ANYWHERE!

As a little push for me to succeed I said to myself while looking at the mirror, "Ok Marisa, you are going to pass all of these exams, and you are not going to have to worry about extra studying during your holidays, and you are going to treat yourself by going on a trip to somewhere nice, maybe buy cute shoes, dresses, more makeup, and go out a little more".

Obviously, I have a really short attention span, and just after a little more than 45 minutes of study, you can find me watching the all new season of project runway (in love with the designers, specially , watching some YouTube videos (specially Zoella, Beauty Crush, Miss Glamorazzi or Tanya Burr) or just lying in bed, looking at the ceiling, listening to some music.

I think I should really start paying more attention in my studies. (Started craving some frozen yogurt at this point)

These are the courses that I'm taking:

• Spanish
• English (Literature & Language)
• Maths
• P.E. (Theory)
• Art (A FOUR HOUR EXAM! *yes i know that it is originally 8 hours)
• Economics
• Biology, Physics & Chemistry

They don't really seem like much, but when you have to study all of the subject that you have learned since March, it's quite a lot.

So, What is my study plan?
Everyday I get to go back home after my exams, so i have more than 12 or so hours to study.
What I will do is that by every hour or so of study I will have from 15- 20 minute breaks to watch a YouTube video, or see a little bit of TV, her some music, or read a little. I think that that is quite good. Today I'm going to try to finish most of my science studies, and I'll see what happens during my exams.

Who knows, maybe if i really study correctly you will see me writing some posts from NYC, LA, or maybe just some from what I have been doing with my summer (over here we have summer from January till March), obviously not studying.

Wish Me Luck... i need it

Saturday Night Obsessions - Gossip Girl

"...And who am I? 

That's one secret I'll never tell. 

You know you love me. 

Xoxo... Gossip Girl"

That line gave me the chills.

Yes, this series has been gone for almost a year, but I'm still crying due to the fact that it ended.

With this show I fell in love with fashion, Chace Crawford, and most importantly, New York city. I think that New York is one of the best cities in the world, I could write a lot about how much I love it, but I think that that would be too much writing for this blog.

Why do I love this show?

Why not? It has everything.

I could just stay here for days writing about the fashion and the shots from the city are just how beautiful are the sights of the city.

The next time I go to New York I would like to stay at the Empire hotel, have lunch at the plaza, sit down on the steps of the MET and go shopping with either Blair or Serena, maybe both of them. I also wouldn't mind if they could take me to a party or something like that, and maybe a weekend at the hamptons.

This show has also had a huge influence in my wardrobe, aside from Blair's and Serena's wardrobe, I really liked how
Vanessa dressed sometimes. 

Who wouldn't like to go to their parties, so high class and full of important people (AND A LOT OF DRAMA)

I think that the more I think about it, I wouldn't really want want that life that much, maybe just the fashion, and not the drama, but the GUYS from that show. Chace Crawford is so dreamy, I wouldn't mind meeting him, or have a Chuck Bass in my life.

If you haven't seem this show, I seriously recommend this to you. 

And I guess that's it, I will leave you with the simple words of gossip girl...

You know you love me, 

xoxo

That was just plain weird,
Bye ❤️

Edgar Degas

Recently in my art class I have been researching about impressionism.

What is impressionism, you may ask...

Well, it is a style of art that was founded by a group of parisian artist back in the 19th century. The group was formed by artist like Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Paul Cezanne, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley and Berthe Morisot.

Edgar Degas is probably one of my favorite painters, this is because, since I am a dancer, I love how he represents them in most of his paintings;

These are some of my personal favorites.

Dancer in her dressing room, 1879

Two dancers o stage, 1877

The step with battement, 1979

The green dancer, 1879

Dancers in pink 1885

Dance class at the opera, 1872

The main reason why I like so much Degas is because of the way that he captures the movement, and how he paints women so well, with every single detail.

Head stand

Happy Thursday everyone!

Just a quick little blog right now, kind of stressed preparing myself for my exams next week (who doesn't hate those?)

You may be wondering, why headstand?

Well, my sister is an ashtanga yoga teacher and she has been practicing for approximately 2 years (I have to ask her). Last Sunday we were in my other sister's apartment... And this happened. 

So, that's it. 

Just a short blog for today.

 p.s. I seriously recommend this type of yoga (ashtanga) it's one of my favorite kinds of excercise

Can't Help Myself

If you don't like one direction, STOP READING!

As I put it last Monday, I am currently obsessed with the song Story Of My Life, and my obsession just grew by 18275637153% maybe even more...

The video was just posted this morning, and I have seen it at least 10 times, IT IS SO PERFECT. Plus, us directioners have to break the vevo record.

Aside from the fact that I am fangirling right now, the video is flawless, it was stunningly filmed, and I loved the concept, the pictures, they are priceless and beautifully recreated (Zayn & his sister, Harry & his mom, Louis & his grandparents, Niall & his brother and Liam & his family), and even the story that the video has, it's really beautiful.

As Tyler Oakley put it:

I was left speechless when I saw the video.
I'm just in love with it.

We need to break the vevo world record!
