Riding Bike 24.05

Today the day was so boring and I’ve decided to ride a bike. This is a perfect training for me, because when I am studying I do not keep fit and I am not feeling good. It was so funny for me. I was riding alone and I rode wherever I wanted. I had the opportunity saw a lot of different and beautiful places. The worst part came when I land in a strange place and I didn’t know how to go back home. Anyway it was interesting to test my orientation, when there were not people around me. However I wasn’t scared and I didn’t go in panic (which is strange for me) and I made a lot of pictures of the environment, which is wonderful in this season. After 3 hours riding in the “nothing” I was home and I told everyone about my little, strange trip.

2 days Trip to Gabrovo and "Etar"

On 21^st of May at 7 in the morning I went to a trip to Gabrovo. I hadn’t been there before. On the train (as always) I had a lot of fun with my classmates. We sang and say jokes to each other. It was so funny. After we went to the town, we went to see some of the sights of the town, but they were not the most interesting thing in the on the day. There was so funny because at the evening at the same day there would be a masquerade. All the people on the streets were wearing different funny and horrified costumes. We went to our hotel and started preparation for the forthcoming masquerade. After the time came we went and walked to the masquerade. There were different people with different costumes, which were showing different tricks. Some of them were showing moments of the Bulgarian history, others were just showing funny performances, there were also dancers. It was funny at all.

On the next day we went to the Etar. This is an important Bulgarian place next to Gabrovo, with old-fashion houses and souvenirs expressing the Bulgarian Revival period (Renaissance). It was fantastic to see all those things from this period. I was surprised by some of the souvenirs which were hand-made, but very beautiful.    

Theatre "The Party"

On 9^th of May me my classmates and our teacher- Mrs. Petarcheva, went to a theatre performance. The performance was called “The Party”. When I’ve heard the title of the play, I’ve expected something funny for us- the teenagers, something good and contemporary. The truth is that the theatre was awful, the actors  too. I didn’t like it and I am so sorry that I went to it. I hope that the next performance I am going to watch will be a little bit better, because I was completely disappointed by this one.

Saying goodbye to the seniors

On the 2^nd of May the school said goodbye to the seniors. Me and my classmates decorated the school hall and the auditorium. It was so sad. I hate when I have to say goodbye to people, whom I used to. It was 4 years of my life spent with them. That’s why I am not in a mood to write about it. Anyway the performance was so funny there were some funny productions and a lot of jokes. Some of the students from the school had prepared songs and they sang them on the performance. I am so sad when I know that next year I will took the senior’s place. I don’t want to say “goodbye” to anyone in this school and I don’t know how I will take this parting.

Charity compaign for collecting books

Me and my classmates organized a charity campaign for collecting books for the local library. We gave cards to all of the students in our school, which asked them to support our cause. I was surprised when we received so many books. On 21^st of April we gave the books to the Municipality. All the people there were so happy that there are still young people, who read books, because as we all know, the technology nowadays took the place of the books - this is not good. Books are books.

We all need those kind of ideas and therefore we shouldn't seek for them in the network-they are in the books.

Eastern Day

On 19^th of April me and my classmates went to the Local Resident Home for Old People to paint eggs for the Easter day. It was so funny as usual. We’v painted so many eggs and the old people were so happy to see us. The dye with which we were painting was so strange and sticky and the eggs adhere to my hands. But it was so funny. :D The old people were surprised that we can paint eggs that good, and make them so beautiful. We were surprised too. They had made beautiful presents for us- beautiful cups in form of rabbits. I’m so happy.  There are links from “Yantra Dnes”, from the official site of Veliko Tarnovo  and from the official site of my school, where you can see some information:  http://www.dnesbg.com/obshtestvo/utchenitsi-ot-amerikanskiya-kolezh-vearkusve-vav-veliko-tarnovo-boyadisvaha-yaytsa.html

22.03.2011 Open Doors Day and Street Parade :)

On 22.03.2011 there was a Open Doors Day in our school. The students from our school chose a subject and they made something interesting on this subject. For example in Biology and Chemistry, the students made interesting experiments and observations. Me and my classmates painted wood eggs. It was very interesting. There were people from other schools who came and watch us.

In the afternoon we went to the Street Parade. We wore strange clothes and we gave colorful tickets with wishes to the people which we’ve met. There were so much people and they all loved the tickets we gave them. Some of them wanted to receive more than one ticket. I was so glad to see the happiness of the people when we gave them the tickets. After we gave away all of the tickets we started waiting for the Parade. It would be very interesting, and it was because there was a famous DJ, called Sandy Riviera. As always, there was a truck platform which crossed the town slowly and it stopped when it got to Tzarevec. It was amazing. All the people were so glad when they saw the truck with the platform.  I’m so happy that I took part in the Street Parade. I can’t wait for the next Street Parade.
