"all glory comes from daring to begin..."

The last two weeks were extremely busy. It seems that i was destined to get to know lots of new people and part with them pretty soon. Both the trip to Berlin and the seminar in Vitosha left a feeling of nostalgia. Oh, i hate it, it's one of the worst feelings anyone can experience. But of course i'm meeting them all in September, then in December ( Read more... )

A model? As far as i remember she mentioned something about travelling to Greece with Visage Models but that just shocked me. Are these people blind? She's short and her weight is far above the required limit for models. If she's a model, then we two can be twice as good,lol.
Well...to be honest i'm not completely sure what it deals with- for those who haven't attended the seminar it seems like absolute nonsense but in fact it is intended to gain popularity in the country. We are organising a seminar in March, which will be a big event, for sure- we are inviting the leading media, members of the government, other organisations. It is generally about discrimination and marginalisation in the school resources. We'll eventually learn to be more critical when reading or listening. We also invited editors of textbooks with the firm intention to teach them avoid those problems. We can end up changing the constitution, who knows.
Btw...do you have projects at your uni? Right now i only work with European countries so i'd love to be in coordination with people from Asia and Singapore in particular. Our countries don't know each other very well...it's a pity.

Ha..I haven't started Uni yet. Will be starting in August. So right now... I'm concentrating more on building relationships with my fellow Uni mates. What projects are you refering to exactly?

Well, in our school we work on various projects mainly supported by the Socrates program ( it's an European one). Right now i'm involved in a project called "Freeway" which is supposed to encourage young students from Sweden, Italy, England and Bulgaria to write articles in an online newspaper ( www.freeway.org).
I also started working on a project called MICC- Model International Criminal Court- we are simulating real trials in Poland at the end of the year. Some of these are pretty useless but i value the fact that i get to know lots of new people from various countries. You definitely have similar things in Singapore, right? The truth is that most of these projects started because of the coordination between teachers- their personal relationships, etc.

Right now, I seriously am not sure about the Uni's project because I have yet to be matriculated yet! But... we'll see. I'm sure the Uni would have such programs with other countries. Would you go on an exchange in Uni?

oh...i'm not talking about such serious projects. i didn't mean to travel to Singapore, let alone as an exchange student. But it'll be cool if you ever get involved in a project which is directed towards Eastern Europe...we can have video discussions an all...DREAMS!
