Hey guys!
So as you've probably noticed, I've been gone for quite a while until a few days ago, when I uploaded a bunch of new photos. Reason for that is that I've been busy with school (my exams started this Monday), but also, I've been working on quite some other things. First of all, I've been putting a lot of time into YouTube. It has been a secret wish of mine to start a channel for over 3 years but I never had the guts. About, I guess, 3 months ago, I started my channel and uploaded my first video. From that moment until now I've uploaded a few more and try my best to improve my 'video skills'. I am no good but it's a lot of fun and I love it! If you feel like checking my channel out, it's MainlyMarlot.
Anyway, if you've seen my channel you might also have seen that I haven't uploaded in a while. Mainly, this is because I've been busy with a lot of stuff. The past two weeks I had vacation, or at least, that's what it's officially called but for me it was more like an half fun time, half learning and stressing out time. Next to learning, getting to know new people, celebrating Queensday (or from now on Kingsday), going to the Efteling (a Dutch themepark) and more, I didn't really have time to focus on my YouTube channel, or probably more relevant, my deviant. As you guys might remember, a while back, I said I would start working on an 'art-project' and upload here. Yeah.... So far no good... Okay, I did actually start drawing but the work is still in progress. For now I won't be drawing much, but after my exams and my vacation (which follows right after my exams) I will and I promise this time I will finish my work and upload it here.
In the mean time I could was update you guys with some new photos I made with my friend. I am very pleased about them and love all the reactions I've been getting. Great! (:
Well, that's it for now guys. Sorry for the not so small little update it was supposed to be. I guess I just love writing (something I've also been lacking on which does not please my friend, oh well). Thank you for reading this!

P.S. Almost forgot to say; my friend (ams1992) is working on a game called LifeEssence. The story behind it is great and for what I've seen it's going to be amazing! It would be really nice if you could vote here: indiescrashe3.com/nomination/0…. It would help my friend out a lot and therefore make me really happy (:

Finally! My testweek is over and that means I finally have the freedom to do whatever pleases me! Time to let all my arty-farty-bubbly-inspiration out!
Still, I haven't been putting ALL my time into school. Lately, I've been busy with quite some things. For example, I've been learning how to program. A very fun and rewarding experience and I can't wait to become better and better at it. For now I'm just at the basics, and I'm not putting all my time in it, but I hope to learn more in the future.
Also, I've been quite busy with my study for coming year (if I'll graduate this year). I am one of those people who isn't sure at all about what to do next year. Two weeks back, I've been to the TU/e, also known as the University of Technology in Eindhoven. This university has definitely my preference. I was there to have a so called 'meeloopdag', a day on which you get to experience one study provided on that university. I went to Electrical Engineering, and though I loved it (thanks to weeknie for the information etc.), I think I've decided not to choose it. Wednesday I'll have another day at the university, this time for Technical Business. I'm really excited and hope so badly that I will love this study. My time is running out and I'm afraid I'll end up with no study at all.
Since I have more time now, I've also been thinking about doing a little 'art-project', just for myself. Basically what I wanted to do is draw some of the drawings by Gabriel Moreno. He is a great (and one of my favourites) artist. I want to do this to improve my 'skills' (which are now at like zero). I have no idea how many I will draw and when I will start - I might tonight but just as well a week later. We'll see. When I've finished a drawing, you guys will for sure see it ending up here, on Deviant.

Thanks for reading this nonsense!
Byeee!

Browsing through photographs here on Deviant is one of my favourite things to do. It's amazing what a simple shot can do to you. For me personally, it can leave me breathless. It can create this feeling inside I can barely explain. The really great shots make we want to grab my camera and go out there. They want me to try harder and take better shots.
I think that's why I love photography so much. A photo can catch an emotion in such an amazing way. I honestly wish I could go out more and make more photo's. Sadly I just don't have the guts to ask anyone to be model (except for my friends who happen to live like a 100000 miles away). I feel like I'm not experienced enough for it, but in order to be experienced enough I need to have models. Kinda like a circle haha.
Thanks for reading this totally random not interesting journal! (:

Today my exam-week officially started. This stands equal to stress, stress and even more stress. This week will be full of big sweaters, hardly any make-up, loaaaads of food (which likely will contain a high amount of chocolate or sugar), learning and of course: coffee!
On the other hand, I do know this will be (probably) one of my last exam-weeks. In fact, after this I only have two exam-weeks and the end exam period, and then I'll finally get to leave my school. If I graduate though.
Luckily, my first exam went great. Okay, I didn't have to learn for it (it was an essay), but it did give me some confidence. Hopefully the rest will go just as well!

Friday was my birthday! I had such a great time. During the day my family was here. Later my friends came over and after we drank and talked etc. for a while at my house, we went to the city to party! It was so much fun! (:
I really loved my presents! From my family I mainly got money, my sister gave me two pairs of earrings, I got alcohol (I turned 17, we're allowed to drink from the age of 16 here), chocolate, a movie and much more! Right now I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, because my best friends have been saying they have great presents for me for quite a while now, but one of them forgot the presents haha! I can't wait to see what they came up with
