What if we didn’t exist?

I just got back from the cinema, where I watched Mr. Nobody Loved the concept, loved the storyline, loved Jared Leto’s performance (of course…!). It was difficult to grasp at times (my mind is still processing everything I’ve just watched), but I adore movies like these that keep you thinking, that open your eyes and change your view on things. The movie had me (and the rest of the audience, I suppose) wondering if we really exist, and thinking about the infinite amount of choices we can make and how making such choices can lead to very different futures.
Another movie I watched just about a week back is Drew Barrymore’s Whip It! Highly enjoyable, nice storyline and believable performances delivered by the actors (especially Marcia Gay Harden as the main character’s mother).
Of course, I highly recommend both movies I really like finding good movies like these, that are original and don’t generally attract a massive hoarde of squealing fangirls (yeah, I’m sure I could guess what movie just popped into your head).

Aside from the happier things in life… I have just recently passed the first set of mock exams for my A-levels, and I think I did rather okay, except for the most important subject It’s really annoying, because even after a whole year and a half, economy and social sciences still seem so abstract to me, and I’m always freaking out that I won’t be able to understand the questions I’ll be asked on the day of the real exam. I wonder if many of the French kids taking the same subject as me for their exams feel the same way I do…
