Little update !
Well, it wouldn't be fair to say i was busy, cause i wasn't. At least not to the amount i wouldn't be able to spare a couple of minutes writing something to this blog.
I have spent most of May weekends partying - about half of them on wider family picnics as some aunts /uncles have turned 40. That were most joyful evenets. I especially liked čevapčiči (you can see it on the picture)
If anyone desires to make it him/herself than click here.
Also we have had some birthday surprises.. The are two main differences between birthdays in the RCN and here and those two are :
a) People here haven't really don't expect to get birthdays surprieses so they are actually surprised. That's kind of different from RCN, where you spend the whole day thinking who is going to come and pick you up and politely remove yourself from the room to the computer lab, so your roommates don't have to bothering 'kicking' you out with a lame excuse. And even if you are a reatard so you don't manage to see anything happening, there is always gonna be someone asking you ( like Sanjeev in my 1st year for those who you remember him ) about 5 minutes to midnight : " is it going to be in the Hoegh or in the room ? "
And then about 30 seconds later someone 'randomly' enters the room saying if you wanna go watching movies in the Hoegh.. And then in the Hoegh - schock. Not that i wan't to say it's not nice - it IS but it seems so much better when people are actually schocked.
b) Secondly - we don't have a fjord. Of course we have some innovation capabilities and a pond, so we should be able to put something up. But clearly you cannot really celebrate birthday in the same fashion in the middle of a student campus or in a middle of a village...
Also it would appear very strange waking someone up, dragging him out of his house, put them in the care, drive them a couple of km to the pond, throw them in and than take them back..
So we don't have problems with two groups yelling : "throw him in.. " " NOOO ! you can't it's too cold.. ". " c'mon.. he is gonna be fine.. " " no it's fckn cold.. "
We needed to find an alternative and that is we started to singing serenades in the middle of the night.. Sometimes we have additional guitar powah and that makes us even louder.. I suppose the big plus is the serenade is more humilating than singing happy birthday in the cantina during dinner time - i suppose it depends on how loud we are ( and in how populated area the person lives ) ;).
Besides birthday and that kind of stuff i am sort of a studying. It's like - i AM studying but not nearly enoough, so sometimes i feel a bit guilty..
Education system in slovenia is very liberal. Basically you can do whatever you wan't to do during the year - don't need to go to the classes at all - there are no exams during the year. Only cumpolsory stuff are lab practices - but in social sciences even that is not a requirement..
Basically you are more or less given an opportunity to slack for 9 months or so, and then in 1 month you should make it up for the 9 months of slacking...
It gets quite stressful for some people. For me it's a personal challenge to control my stress, and not be nervous during the exam at all.. I managed to improve in those areas since the IB as i managed to be totally non nerveous, before , in between and after the exam.. and even before the oral exam, other nervous wrecks couldn't throw me out of my tranquility ( wait ! is that and SAT word ? I don't know. I remember it's one of the magic spells in a computer game is used to play, if it was SAT i would have forgotten it ;p )
So now i've set myself a constant tempo of 1 exam per week and managed to put up with it for now. ( 3 more to go )
Loads of real life stuff happens all the time. Yesterday for example i was at a valeta. Probably everyone wonders what that absurd phrase means. To my surprise it actually has a meaning in english. 1. A ballroom dance or dance tune with a fast waltz-like rhythm. Well, it's supposed to be something like a mini-prom for people leaving primary school. But it's mostely for the parets so they can see they haven't completely wasted their money on dancing classes and for everone else to say those really high sounding words about responsible citizens and such.. If you've read UWC mission statement, you should know what i mean.
I was there for the lights and the sound and it was quite nice actually. It's always cool to have view from the top as you can see much more than the rest of the people.
It reminded me a little bit of my UWC graduation.
Oh, i must definetly write something about football cup. Too bad norway didn't manage to get through, my brother is still a little bit angry cause i was waving and cheering with norwegain flag as they kicked our ass in football during the qualifications. ( i guess my purpose was achieved ).
My two main candidates for this cup are Argenitna and Neatherlands, so Patrick if you are reading this you are most welcome to buy me a drink ;)
And something for all of you footballers.. There was this friendly social competition called : "Sports against the drugs". The idea is people who do sports are less likely to consume drugs. Anyways i was participating in football ( small goals, 3 people / team just like in RCN ). We lost in the finals after the penalty shots, hence managed to get a silver medal.
I suppose that's quite respectful stuff.
Have a nice day !
and remember to blog !
cheers
