I feel like there's something missing, but i don't know what and it's really bothering me.
Also Tom & Naomi, would it be alright if i removed you from my f-list? There's just some things I'd like to talk about in my personal life & I'd rather people I know didn't read it. I hope you guys understand? These type of entries would be friends only but normal entries would be public.

I'll elaborate more on the emptiness in a later journal entry, I have to run off to work!

Well on Friday i had my first exam. It was english so it was alright, i think i did well :] There were 2 sections. The first one was comprehension so that was was pretty easy and the second section was writing an essay :] I wrote mine on the functions Scout has in the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird". I'm hoping i did alright in that part, i wrote 7 sides of paper in total (for the 2 sections) :] I have Maths on Monday which shouldn't be too bad :]

I've taken some mirror selfportraits, took them today (June 16th) because i was bored & wanted to take a break from studying history :] I also wanted to show off one of the new tops i got today haha

Here's two of them :]

I'm really nervous about my end of year exams, I've been procrastinating badly about studying, which i know is bad since i really need to pass at least 7 of the 9 exams to be able to pass this year =/ My timetable for the exams isn't too bad though, which I'm happy about :]

Friday 15 June 8h45 L1 [English] 3 lessons

Monday 18 June 8h45 4 Hour Maths 3 lessons

Tuesday 19 June 8h45 Chemistry 2 lessons
11h30 L3 [German] 2 lessons

Wednesday 20 June 8h45 Geography [in french] 2 lessons
11h30 Physics 2 lessons

Thursday 21 June 8h45 L2[French] 2 lessons
11h30 Biology 2 lessons

Friday 22 June 8h45 History[in french] 2 lessons

after that, I've got work experience for two weeks, then i go back on the 2nd July or thereabouts to get my report to see if i passed or not. I'm really nervous, I have a gut feeling that I'm going to fail :[ I know i can pass all of them except my science ones, which is 6 out of 9. But at my school, if we fail 3 or more subjects, we automatically fail the year, which puts alot of pressure on me, aswell as other people, to do well :[

I've just gone through some old biology exams that my bio teacher gave us & to be honest, I'm not as worried now as i was before. Alot of the stuff on those past papers I know i can do. So that's one less science to worry about :] I'm still worried though, meh.

I haven't updated in so long, can't believe it O.o I shall have to update more often :]

I made some icons for Calli who's competing in [info]1topmodel at the moment, go vote for her! :]

Icons behind cut! :] )

I've also done quite a few photoshoots since i last posted here so I'll post the results of those shoots behind another cut starting with the newest :]

Photoshoots galore! )

Nothing much has been happening this week, I was away from Sunday to Thursday in France visiting some family & spent the day with my boyfriend Friday & Saturday =] I did a photoshoot with two new models; Minnie & Myriam, it was a fun-filled photoshoot, I'm hoping to be able to do a photoshoot nearly every weekend so that I can broaden my portfolio, I might have one with a friend of mine called Callum.
Ugh, school starts tomorrow & I'm not looking forward to it. I always procrastinate when it comes to school work. I say I'm going to do something & then i spend time on the computer to avoid doing that one thing =/
My photography's going well, I've been getting some comissions/requests for photoshoots from people I know, so it's all very exciting =]
I'm hoping to maybe get some reflectors soon, I'm in desperate need of some =/
Anyway, I'll leave you with features like I do everytime i write a journal =]

I apologise for not writing much here, I've been busy with schoolwork, photoshoots & I now have an allocated 2 hour time limit on the computer on Mondays to Thursdays since I failed 4 of my exams :( I failed Chemistry with a 3.5 (all the marks are out of 10, 0 being the worst & 10 being the best & 6 is the pass mark), History & Geography with 5 & Biology with a 4.5. I expected the marks that I got for Chemistry & Biology since they aren't my strong points but I didn't expect to fail History & Geography =/ Anyway, for English I got 7 or 7.5, I can't remember which xD, 6 in French, 6.5 in Maths, 6 in Physics & a 9 in German =] So out of 9 exams I passed 5, which is alright for me for this term but I know I've got to really put my head down & work hard if I want to pass this year & not be left behind :( 14 out of 22 students in my class were discussed at the school council meeting because they failed more than 2 subjects in the report (we get them next week, I hope I didn't do too badly *fingers crossed*).


Now for a little rant; don't you just hate it when people who you are friendly with aren't really friendly with you when you're with them in groups but outside of those groups they turn around & act like they're really good friends with you? I HATE it, I try my best to be a good friend & i just get all that thrown back in my face, it's upsetting. You think you know somebody so well, but in the end it turns out you don't know them all that well.
I'm a very vulnerable & emotional person who thinks way too much about the past & things I regret. I wish everything was the way it was when I was 12/13. to quote Zinzi: "I thought you were meant to become more confident as you grew up, not less."
There are days where I just want to give up on everything & not be little miss nice anymore. I'm confused & frustrated & i hate it. </end>

Anyway, on the subject of hard work, I've been busy with photoshoots these past 2 weeks, I'm beginning to get more friends to model for me which is great because I was getting sick of doing selfportraits & i need more experience with the photography side of photography as opposed to photographing & modelling at the same time =]

Here are some that I've posted on Flickr Click on the images to see them larger =]
Photos behind cut )

On another note I'm competing in [info]1topmodel, if you like my photos, please vote for me =]
I think that's all for today haha, I'll try & update more often though =]

First of all, let's just say I'm relieved that my xmas exams are finally over! =] I'm just worried about my biology exam (12 pages long!), chemistry exam, physics exam, geography exam (I know I lost about 20 marks because I couldn't put some cities on a map & i marked something wrong on a map) and my history exam which I had today, my friend next to me wrote wrote 7 sides whilst i only wrote 1 and a bit :(
Oh well, I'll worry about all that when I get back to school in January =]

I had a photoshoot today with 2 friends of mine who agreed to model for me =] One of the girls requested that I didn't put the photos I took of her onto the internet so there's just the other girl's photos =]
I've posted some on Flickr , take a look here:

I haven't updated since the Summer, I'm really sorry for not updating more often, I've been busy with school =/
My camera broke the other day, it was making whirring noises, the shutter protecting the lens doesn't close when I attempt to switch off my camera, the camera itself will switch on but only for 2 seconds & then switches itself off whilst making a beeping noise & displaying "E18". I have no idea what that means :confused:. I took it to get repaired 2 weeks ago & I found out that it'll take 2-3 weeks to get fixed =[ I should be getting it back soon hopefully. So no new photos for a while, so I'll either get busy with manips or post old selfs

Came across a funny quiz on MySpace, I'll post it tomorrow when I have more time =]

Well the reason I haven't been too active here on LJ is that I was away for a week in France last week and I just haven't found anything worth writing about. But seeing as I've been away I might aswell write about what I did all week up until today =]


Tuesday 15th-Wednesday 23rd Left for the south of France. After 8 hours in the car we finally arrived at our destination! Went to watch this thing in an arena called Taureau Piscine where people run around the arena while being chased by a bull basically... Unpacked and in the evening sat inside my uncles house, bored while it rained . Rained again on Wednesday so I didn't do much =/
For the rest of the week I just lazed about in the garden when it was sunny or sat in a hammock reading some books. In the evening my sister, myself and my uncle would watch (on DVD) an episode or two of a popular American TV series called " The Golden Girls". I can tell you, I loved it! It's really funny =] I also watched another TV series on DVD called "Frasier" which was funny too =]
The night before we left was the most miserable ending to a holiday I'd ever had. We went out to a Chinese restaurant, which was nice. Everyone ordered their dishes etc and waited for them to arrive. When they arrived we tucked in, but unfortunantly when I started to eat mine, my top lip started swelling up. Now what I didn't know was that peanut oil was used when they cooked my dish (Beef&onions). I have alot of food allergies, but I have a particularly bad allergy to nuts -_- so i sat there, miserable and hungry while everyone else ate their food =[ I'm just glad I didn't have a worse reaction to the oil!
The next day we left early in the morning. My uncle stopped at a fortress ina small town about an hour after we left. The fortress was up on a huge steep hill and you have to walk all the way up the hill, they don't let you take a car! Now I'm not a morning person so I was in a bad mood and still half asleep =/ but it was worth it in the end, the fortress was really interesting =]

Today: Well today all I basically have done is a shoot using some of the new clothes I accumulated over the week I'd been in France =] An example from the shoot are the images at the top and bottom of this entry, you can find the rest at my Flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/liliova-art/). Hope you like them!

Oh and congrats Zinzi on making the top 3 in LNTM! ^^

That's all from me for now =]

As you can see, my LJ is pretty empty right now, I'm new to LJ so I still need to explore a little =]

Went to town today and met up with a few friends to have lunch. We had kebabs and chips (fries to you american people), then a hot chocolate (yes hot chocolate in the summer, but it's was cold and rainy today =/) then water when it got hotter =P
We walked around town for a little when 2 of my friends had to go, one of my friends is moving to San Diego =[ She was in my class for 7 years and we were pretty good friends, it's a pity to see her go, there was a fair bit of crying =[
Later I went shopping and bought a black&white stripey jumper/top. Was cheap too, only 9.90 euros in H&M =]
That's all from me for today I guess, I'll end this post with a few photos =] [posted on my deviantART and Flickr too]

I'll update properly when I find something interesting to say xD
