I'm not as active as I should be or hoped that I'd be, I have lost all my energy due to Ramadan, can't have my usual morning tea as I'm addicted to it and can't seem to properly function without it.

I'm currently sorting through the trillions of photos that I have, hopefully can finish with that in a few days if I stop distracting myself with little things here and there.
Also been working on my lighting skills, and, because I am Esraa and really hate getting technical I'm just experimenting on self portraits and I've improved a lot!

-------------------------

Since I have a little spare time and nothing to write I thought I'd introduce someone who joined dA not too long ago.

He's the reason I am who I am today, I can't think of anyone whose had more influence on me as a child and during my early teens, he taught me the basics of art and science (I whined a lot and still do sometimes) and I don't think my life could be the same without him as I am building my whole life and future on those two things.

He's my 24-year-old twin, the person who I annoyed the most throughout my whole life...

Here's my one and only (literally) brother. [link]

Note: he's not active because he's just lazy.

I'm sure everyone has noticed I haven't been active for the past month or so, I've been under a lot of pressure (exams and whatnot), I'm only 4 exams away from getting done with my junior year

Once I'm done with those I'll have lots of photos to edit and lots of projects to start, so I'll be FLOODING my gallery with newer work (hopefully better work)
I'll also have a summer course at KISR (Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research), I was hoping I'd get accepted for biology but my luck happened to throw me at microbiology, not bad I have to say as they're closely related and all.

Sorry for my time away and those who left me messages which I haven't replied to yet, I'll get to them as soon as I can.

Yuri Gagarin was the first human to go into space on April 12th, 1961. The US Space Shuttle first launched on April 12th, 1981. Yuri's Night is like the St Patricks Day or Cinco de Mayo for space. It is one day when all the world can come together and celebrate the power and beauty of space and what it means for each of us.

I truly am a very big fan of Yuri to the point where I named my Oscar (fish) after him. I also envy him for seeing the Earth from a fair distance as I would love to see how beautiful it is.
I have no time to celebrate though, I've got 3 weeks of midterms to deal with.
Wish me luck!!

Anyone could have guessed

Because I am my hippie self, and love earth so much I'll be turning off all the lights and unneeded appliances in my house.

I'm not sure if my parents and siblings will like this as they aren't hippies like me, but I'll try my best to get it going right.
I don't think there's an excuse to stop anyone from taking part in Earth hour, it's the easiest thing a person could do for Earth.

Earth is beautiful, we should never forget that.

VOTE EARTH!
BECAUSE I SAID SO

Today was my first day from my 2nd semester, it was alright though I was dizzy and tried my best to avoid my physics class lol.
The good thing is, next year is my last freakin' year of high school and I'd finally get to uni!!!

My fear of not getting a good enough GPA for Zoology is gone cause I got a backup plan, which is good but would take me almost twice long to get to Zoology, so I'd be like what? in my late 20's by the time I get to it? That's long, but it's alright with me.

Bella is doing great, though I'm not sure how I'm gonna get to touch her for the first time and get her to accept that. Either way I'm very happy with her progress, she's also starting to hate fruit and want more peanuts, more trouble. She's one smart bird, knows I love spoiling her.
