Childhood

Childhood...
Wasn't it nice being a child? All we cared about was something to eat, somewhere to sleep and maybe sometimes somebody to play with. Life was much easier back then, no problems, hesitations, tough decisions to make. I miss that... The times when all I had to do was to pick up my toys from the carpet:)

This is me having about 5 or 6 years old... Amazing times... Well, not to mention the trends of the 90s:) Fancy shoes, striped shorts and a priceless look... Mother of God, how embarassing, looking at it now. Really, how could our parents dress us up like this, that is one of the reasons I hate looking at my pictures from the past. Leggings with Mickey Mouse, strange hairstyles and everything so painfully colourful. But, navermind, apart from shame I feel pretty good about my childhood and I miss it a lot. I think most of us do:)

If I had a chance to change anything, I'd  have created a mutated strawberry. It would be as big as a watermelon, as sweet as a strawberry might be and it would be delicious! Can you imagine eating such a strawberry? Bigger than your head? Delightfull! How many shakes one could do from such a giant fruit, I can't even think of it:)
It would probably also need a lot of work and endeavor but it'd be worth it. Of course I'd then after some time sell it to someone influential who knows how to do bussiness, and then I could do anything because I'd be rich then. I could do everything I ever wanted: travel all over the world, establish a charity, build a house at the seaside and all those impossible things from my dreams...
Wouldn't that be nice? :)

Question mark...

This morning I conducted a lesson in Gymnasium, nothing special, just board games around the world. a bit of vocab, a bit of listening: for gist and for specific info.

I have to mention that it was my first conducted lesson in Gymnasium ever and to be honest I was terrified because I'm prejudiced to this type of school.

I was expecting flying bins, at least three fights, visiting headmasters office, swearwords hitting my head, and many other terrible things. But the kids came in...

About 11 children in the age of fourteen took their seats, then stood up and greeted me. They were so nice, so silent, so cooperative, so active and amazing... It was stunning, I couldn't believe it, everything went so smooth that we had some time left and played "wisielec" and... their behaviour was great  even then!

And as much as I never wanted to be a teacher, after this experience I 'll reconsider it. Maybe that was a turning point of my life?

Influential?

It's difficult to say who was the one who influenced or fascinated me. I think that it might be a TV series character from "Gilmore Girls" which is the one I was getting mature with.

This series led me through my high-school and helped me with some of my dilemmas and cricises. One of the main characters - Rory is the most dilligent student in her school, she reads a lot, watches old movies and is the best friend of her own mother.

 The possitive energy of this series pulled me on the right way many times during my puberty, I could always look up to my ideal character and find a piece of advice in every episode.

Although it may seem boring for some ( I know it does:), it was a leader for me in my "teenage" times.

Comment on the article in the Observer?
Well what can I say, this article only confirmed that the stereotype of the snobbish, self-centred, egoistic and ignorant British, is still true and up- to- date. I don't want to be rude but the British seem to grow in confidence and feel too well about themselves.

Maybe learning languages is just a domain of our eastern countries because we want to catch up with the great nations all the time, but I think it makes us richer, stronger, wiser and maybe even better?
On one hand it is hard to blame them, because English became so international that it almost a shame nowadays not to use or speak it.

 Unfortunately on the other hand it makes the English so proud and poor at the same time that I really feel sorry for them, because learning languages is an enormous experience and real satisfaction when you finally know it and are able to use it. Let's hope that we won't lose ourselves so much that we'd get back to the era of dinosaurs with our little, poor brains.

Thank you:)
